When you have nary an idea worth speaking, criticize the grammar of others in a faltering attempt to look intelligent.

Oh young one, the world is a vast and wonderful place, full of experience and tasks, glory and tears. You waste your days correcting the prose and poster of an old man? I hardly know you, but I expect even this is beneath your humble gifts.

My exact opinion of him...except written in words I could never conjure on my own :L

While we're at it, you could have just as easily snarked upon my failure to us an article for "a jelly Kougra" . Such a worthy task.

It was less an attempt at criticising your grammar, than an effort at indicating the fragility of your affected facade. Most anyone can drop a few supercilious words into a short piece of prose, but, in misusing them, belie their own inadequacies.

The world is indeed a vast and exciting place, and this is but a tiny fraction of it. Still, though, I enjoy my time spent here, as I enjoy my time spent elsewhere. As you say, you know me not, and as such, I would humbly suggest that you contain your criticism lest it comes full circle. It is also worth noting that I am probably not nearly as young as you seem to believe me to be. Such assumptions are unbecoming of someone so aged and world-weary.

And yes, I could have "snarked" at your lack of article, but as I have since clarified, I wasn't addressing your grammar. My sincere apologies for expecting that to be understood.

Welcome to Necodex. Please answer the following questions:

1. How old is your daughter (if older than 17 please ignore questions 2 and 3)

2. Is she hot?

3. Does she swallow?

That is all we (I) need to know.

Hither here a man worthy of thine speech from our tongues! One must not bite thine thumb but gather up yonder praise and be jovial! For he bringest much that was once lost.

Welcome to codex, Fellow. While there are many experienced players here and many that do not "Cheat" at this game, this website is a cheating website.

And although the morals and open-ness of people here are probably better than any other Neopets fansite, TNT frowns upon all our members.

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

Ah, humbling to know that I stand in the shadow of such greatness, a true mystic that can divine the worth of my spirit and education based upon a few poor words typed on a half broken laptop, by an old man that should take the effort to find his glasses so he can see what he is typing.
Better yet, the threat that you think is subtle, and I find just delightfully silly. Oh silly child, I am an old man with failing heart that has no other agenda than to wile a few hours l in jest and joy. What harm might you do me, you vilest of words means nothing more to this old soldier than the snarled of raccoon I removed from the box trap on my porch this morn. Full of anger and threat, but with no meaning and delivered in a manner that brings shame to your ancestors.

So, I might waste time in this silliness, but only because I think there are very few that have fallen so low that they can not be saved.

Oh, and ignore Sweeney, He's like that to everyone.

[Sweeney]

Sweeney sweety, men that don't respect women in many cases turn out to be men that never become worthy of love, or men that don't need the company of women at all.

That wasn't me.

You type a lot more than "a few words". But perhaps you really are just a strange old man.
I doubt it.

[Ladida]

Why do people keep typing Sweeney instead of Sweeney? The screen name is right there.

[Ladida]

Not a strange old man, but a pretty normal old NDN suffering from moderate heart failure. Well, I am three cycles old, (51) not that old. Just bored waiting for my implanted three wire pacemaker to give me a clean bill to get back to work after this last little set back.

You're not that old, you're younger than my parents and I like to think they're not well on their way to their graves as yet.

[Frizzle]

Your kid sounds hot.

I don't see an apology for misattributing that comment to me in there. Even though you've gone back and edited your post.

[Metigue]

Thank you. I must admit I am taken aback at the concept of what you have told me. Neopets is a game, played for electronic nothingness and silly diversion. I'll admit that I've spent far too much time getting my little kitty up to 350 strength and 200 defense, a weapon of water, a good sleeper. It is a game, I don't understand what activity would be called cheating. I must be either a babe in the woods or a confused lost old man.

I should have studied the material more closely before blundering in, I do not understand nor appreciate the half understood tales of players with prime weapons that got suspended.



I forgot my reading glassed today, and I didn't expand my screen to "old man" setting" I used to have great vision, but find myself using a 2.0+ to read and a 3.0+ for close work.

I wouldn't be alarmed by the fact that most people here cheat at Neopets, the majority of the community either no longer plays or are legit. However, those that cheat often have arguably justifiable reasons for doing so, E.g. being frozen for no reason after years of playing, and wanting to get back to where they were (It happens A LOT)

If you'd excuse the lame imagery I would look at this site as kind of a Robin Hood with no down-sides xD

It's an interesting persona and facade however it's growing rather tiresome.

Getting tired of reading your posts by the second or third post. While though an interesting persona to use you could sum up everything you are saying in two or three short sentences at best.

Then don't read them

Lord knows you're not really one to talk...

[trizzle]

It's not that what you have to say isn't interesting, it's just that sometimes I lose concentration halfway through a sentence xD

*edit: because they're very long, not because they're boring

Nevertheless welcome to neocodex!

Good to see that you have the good sense to be so concerned about my opinion. It is a start.

Not your opinion, the inconsistencies in your presentation.
