                        So, what's been
going on in our humble cyber abode lately? I haven't been on for a
while for a number of reasons.
1.   The annoying IT
co-ordinator at my school has filtered this
innocent,              
   site for absolutely no logical reason
what-so-ever.
2.   For those who are familiar with
this subject, I fell into a slight bit of strife over the
aggressiveness of my retaliation against
some completely unprovoked verbal abuse on this forum, and was thus
disciplined over the matter.
3.  
I left some English work to the last minute, called 'Negotiated
Study', which is a minimum 2000 word essay on a minimum of three
books, which I completed in a commendable manner in the small space
of two days.
So, I hope that I haven't broken anyone's heart
as a result of my prolonged absence. (HA HA!!!)
Anyway, its
just great to be back.

                        Thanks for all your charming input, guys. And I like to use green text for it reminds me of the borg (Star Trek). I'm so evil. Oh, and I just found a way to bypass the ban on this site at my school.

Perhaps its only your syntax, but it reads as if you are not a dumbass any more, than you used to be.
I for one, do not know why you are picked on, at least not presently so. You do not type many things dumber than most of the rest of the active members.

Now I'm a bit confused. I thought he was still absent. Has Orpheus returned while I was away?

Hey, we all need egos. They're what gives us our drive to succeed. Anyway, how long has Orpheus been gone for?

Why do you feel compeled to type your text in green? And EEEEXXXXTTTTRRRRUUUUUDDDDEEEE your words? I think these are the reasons why everyone makes fun of you. Its the lack of maturity in your posts that makes me not like to read your threads =P. I know you don't care what I have to say, but this community has been known for its realitive inteligence. You just bring it down.
</DIV></DIV>
Look, I'm sorry for the outlook of myself I have presented you with on various occasions, (I actually have a tested I.Q. of 146), so if I have offended or irritated anyone with a lack of tolerance for a reasonable sense of humour, I am truly sorry.
P.S. I have previously stated why I use green text, for it gives me a warm feeling by reminding me of the Borg (Star Trek). - Please don't maliciously exploit this friendly comment. Oh, and I've seen banana phone and have the mp3 of it, replying to Windows 98, and it is a compelling tune (More so than morphine... joke).

you sound like a crappy AI computer if that's all you've got.
there was a time, not too long ago, that 146 would probably have lowered the average for snarkpit members.

Lesser beings naturally despise higher forms of life, therefore always seek their demise.
P.S. I know this guy, this is all friendly taunting.

                        Aye, we do know each other, and it IS all friendly taunting, but its still good fun to get under sombody's nerves once in awhile (Considering HE always does it to ME)
P.S. I Do NOT mean to be malevolent, evil, cruel or unfreindly just plain old good fun

Why do you feel compeled to type your text in green? And EEEEXXXXTTTTRRRRUUUUUDDDDEEEE your words? I think these are the reasons why everyone makes fun of you. Its the lack of maturity in your posts that makes me not like to read your threads =P. I know you don't care what I have to say, but this community has been known for its realitive inteligence. You just bring it down.

Look, I'm sorry for the outlook of myself I have presented you with on various occasions, (I actually have a tested I.Q. of 146), so if I have offended or irritated anyone with a lack of tolerance for a reasonable sense of humour, I am truly sorry. 
P.S. I have previously stated why I use green text, for it gives me a warm feeling by reminding me of the Borg (Star Trek). - Please don't maliciously exploit this friendly comment. Oh, and I've seen banana phone and have the mp3 of it, replying to Windows 98, and it is a compelling tune (More so than morphine... joke).

hmm.. it seems that you like the green text because it sets you apart , and you use the startrek refrence to cover it up no offense , just my observation. In all truth 146 isn't genius i'm pretty sure , and iq is absolutly worthless if you don't even have social skills.. Its like having billions of dollars and nobody will accept your money because your so uppity about it all. Please dont correct people's spelling because not only will it bite you in the a** one day, but some people create purposeful mistakes to change the center of interest in a passage or even as a emotive thing.
Always remember , Wisdom , Work ethic , and P's and Q's will get you miles farther than iq :wink: .
P's & Q's = Politeness
**meant in the nicest purtiest way possible** ;p welcome back HAL , and hope you have fun here

Don't worry, Its all in jest... I know Obsessive Speed.

It's an in joke on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, where HAL is the AI computer which goes insane and attempts to kill everyone on the ship.
