Cornelius:
Jack, I wouldn't worry about your language skills. Most people here realise there's a diverse, multinational crowd here, and not everyone has the same grasp of written English. We do make allowances for that.
English is not my first language either.
If you're worrying about my reactions to the other poster, let me assure you, I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, until their pm to me.

Your English is understandable.
Bluntly put, some of TorporChambre's more recent posts come across as strings of words picked out of a thesaurus and placed slightly out of order in a passive voice with non-English/non-Anglicized words occasionally being thrown in. I can barely make heads or tails of a lot of it and I collect archaisms as a hobby.
EDIT: Typo fix.
Also, not trying to be mean. Just stating observations.
Thrudd:
I will only add another nail in preparation to that coffin in that there was more than one private message to the person about a certain fun thread they have now usurped.
It was something to do with not following the rules as explained and then more explicitly explained and then messaged without response before said hijack.
I have given up on the matter for now and will take up the reigns once they have tired of their antics.
(click to show/hide)I have taken this long to reply because I just got back to the office since my last posting.
I am part of that unseen crowd of people who are providing needed services to the companies that support the healthcare industry so my schedule is crazy stupid now.
At least I don't have to wear a mask and gloves in my office. :facepalm:

An my prime goal is faithful translation of ideas from my thoughts (which, naturally, are of my native ``language'') to these. I not for ``cleverness'' compose thus. Now I contort, despite my interpersonal-activity consul's advice to stay mutual ignorance, for here seem personae among my favourites, (Too are some my disfavourites---likely mostly merely proximitily.)

Only two such from you to me private messages were. Of those, one (to which a response from me to you was) expressed delight about some posts, nonunderstanding (stricter---disambiguous---style I since for such threads use) about other posts (indication of which had been requested in that response from me to you; yet such indication I not have); another was merely notifiage of erratum (appropriate corrigendum issued)
Those minely-started threads stayed the prime purpose: recreational consumption of questionable content.

Of that message what might you take as offense, or violation? Another option:

Why, flouting perspicacity, chose you Grice'?
(click to show/hide)I have taken this long to reply because I just got back to my thoughts' forms being nearer my prior posts' literary style.
