Do the keyboards in your native language have capslock keys at all?

Pillory,I'm afraid your thread here, nominated several times for most incoherant rant of all time, has been overtaken by the foul usurper marxist2.

I'm sorry, but casual mention of Randi and a completely meaningless string of nonsesense it not enough to take the title. You might want to try again?

I've previously alluded to the similarities in punctuation and structure between Pillory and e. e. cummings -

Is cummings known in the UK, Ian and Geoff?

In Finland, Pillory?

pillory, I just want you to know that I am passionately in love with you. Either that or hitting myself with that brick on that earlier thread caused me some brain damage.

That is as good a descriptor as exists for true love.

Perhaps, but I think marxist2 is a true troll, just here to make waves.

pillory is like everyone's pet parrot. You never know what he's gonna say and sometimes it's creepy because it fits in with the conversation. But he's friendly and fun to have around.

It often takes awhile to reread Pillory's posts, but I am suprised
that I frequently understand what he is trying to get across. And
there are those times he is perfectly clear. Pillory is not a troll. I
find him interesting, and the posts of his I do understand, I like.

Don't you dare badmouth my boy e. e. cummings. Anybody with a brain can understand most of what cummings is trying to say, even if it is in unusual format.

Now Wallace Stevens, I will grant you...

I recall a quote from the excretable--apologies for the redundancy--E. E. Cummings about how he uses captitals like the Ancient Greeks.

How deliciously ironic! The "ancient Greek" of today is a "modern" convention. In the past, they used ALLCAPITALSWITHOUTPUNCTUATIONORSPACESBETWEENWORDS, much to the annoyance of scholars since.

The poor man was more ignorant than many thought.
