So, your complaint is that he's consistent, doesn't WANT to pay for things, and he's poor?

Consistency is good. Asking questions that make (some) people think is even better.

There is a difference, great for some, not so great for others, in WANTING and ACQUIRING.

Finding fault with someone for not being able to afford something is just vile.

Having provided exactly what I asked for, did you also take the time to answer your own question?

As you seem overly fond of definitions, may I suggest a word you have probably heard and might want to become more acquainted?

Adverb:

1.In a literal manner or sense; exactly: "the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the traffic circle".

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Sure! When you can't beat the argument, you find faults in spelling and grammar. Keep it up, mobileread dictionary!

Reading the last few responses on this thread, I am literally somersaulting backwards off the top of a skyscraper into a chartreuse thunderstorm while wearing a Tickle Me Elmo puppet on my soon-to-be-made-useless reproductive organ.

Luckily, it's a very tall building and I'm a fast writer. This Ayre-Born™ Thought-Type™ helmet is snappy as well (in the sense that it's affixed to my head with snaps).

Uh-oh.

That's hardly all you said. You becase nothing more than a joke when you spouted the "sovereign citizen" idiocy about courts not having any authority over you. Dude, you're a joke, and nobody can remember the punch line.

What argument? There was no argument. A half coherent, juvenile political screed isn't an argument, it's a half coherent, juevnile political screed.

Grown ups do not debate with half coherent, juvenile political screeds. They point and laugh at the kiddies' antics.

MobileRead is a private community, and we REQUIRE that everybody abides by the rules of conduct laid out in our Posting Guidelines, the first rule of which is Discuss Things Politely.

Contrary to what some may think, we do not grant any rights whatsoever to "freedom of speech" here at MobileRead.

This has gone on long enough between certain members. Place the threads and or member(s) on "Ignore" and DO SO. That means that you do NOT post that you have done so, that member(s) is on your "Ignore" list NOR on someone else's list, that you do NOT post that member is a "troll" or "trolling", or _even_ respond to that member's post with any other derogatory comments.

There is a larger membership that prefers to NOT be subject to these posts and unfriendly behaviors by a certain small group of other members who do not know when to just "Ignore". If you so wish, you may "report" a member or post, but that does not mean you may respond to continue a disagreement.

This is a warning to those involved: Continuing the above behavior will result in suspension of posting on MobileRead.

This thread is now closed.
