Ow..thats too bad Iannarebirth. WiII see if i can get you an aIternative Iink. I Iove the FIame Warriors Iink :)

lanna, that flame warrior is great.

kinda creepy its so accurate, but great.

For anyone who visits the Samui forum, you will totally recognize this one

http://www.flamewarriors.com/warriorshtm/garble.htm

Garble is a mystery: Is he a foreigner with only tenuous grasp of English? Is he on drugs? Does he suffer a serious mental debility? Is he typing wearing boxing gloves? Garble's rampant typos, malapropisms and execrable grammar can't be blamed solely on poor typing skills. Garble is all the more puzzling because if one manages to hack his way through the tangled muddle of his messages a discernable idea will often emerge. For example, in a forum discussion about a painting he might say, "Sorry the picchr the har is wrog. The culir. I liike the lips bot teh Paintng is sucs". When someone refers to his random capitalization Garble might say something like, "oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK". Garble drives Grammarian and Nitpick absolutely nuts, but he disdains all efforts at correction, and if complaints persist he will indignantly sign exit saying, "yuor forum si stupef. bYE!" HINT: Garble may be Net Rat.

There's some one who posts regularly in OTB who sounds a bit like that as well.

To me it insults readers regardless of the content. The poster wouldn't hand write a letter like that or speak personally in that manner if they had more than a basic primary or grade school education so what is it that makes them type in a way that would make the entire faculties of their former high schools and colleges rush to the nearest cliff top like lemmings?

The person who is quoted, though, has a nice way with words.

I can imagine that someone who calls himself Grammarian would indeed be driven nuts by Garble.

We had a thread on "the flamewarriors" a year or two back and had a lot of fun insulting each other by saying which Bedlam member was which flamewarrior.
