I feel I have to say this.

Maybe he's writing better these days then. I might read one next time and have a look

To me they weren't though, and if you're gonna write an essay it should be decent imo

Short posts like most people make don't matter. But I reckon a long post should be written properly

Either way, they def weren't up to university standard lol

[odeon]

I think they fill their purpose. They'd be different if written for a uni.

None of you people would recognise me in my whitepapers, I suspect.

[Adam]

That was what I was referring to tho - ren's post about university essays

Purpose on an internet forum is diffferent obviously lol, so u may be right there

I think (well I hope haha) most of us here write differently if we're doing a dissertation or paper or something

[Calavera]

If some of you guys actually feel flustered by Sir_Les' posts, you should go check some of the debate forums out there ...

  Can you imagine a paper written Intensity-style?

[Adam]

lots of internet acronyms, swearing and sex references?

come to think of it... yeah that sounds like my dissertation so far

And I'm sure you'll get the appreciation you deserve.

I can tell that Sir Les easily has the ability to write a good university essay, is what I mean. I still find it hard but I have complained enough about that. I have also wondered if I would be recognised through something I wrote for uni. Also been wondering how your dissertation is going Adam? That book you are getting for Christmas looks like it has some interesting stuff in it.

[Adam]

The dissertation isn't going well (as in, I'm not getting it done). my tutor likes what I've got so far, but I'm finding it really difficult to write.

I'm going to talk about it with my therapist though so hopefully I can sort that soon as it's very frustratying

[renaeden]

I definitely understand about difficulties of writing. I could go on for ages about it. What do you find difficult about it if you don't mind my asking? How long does the dissertation have to be?

[odeon]

I've found that I can only battle writer's block by... writing. No matter how crappy and pointless my words are, I write.

After starting to use version control software for handling everything I write I've found it's easier to produce. I know that I can go back to any previous version, which removes a lot of the pressure for me.

Anonymous Calvera practically filled you in on every decision and pandered to you. Your ego was demanding it. He gave you your own subforum to be completely in control of. You are just whinging and it is not pretty. Is not now and was not then.

Finish it off with "Tits or gtfo" and you'll get a first.

The Anonymous:

Did I read that right? Sir Les had something to do with the demise of Calavera's site??

I know you won't find my answer satisfying, but if anything, it was Sir_Les and I who contributed the most to the forum.

And these sneaky people had all the time they wanted to join before Sir_Les ever joined, but did they ever join?

Nope.

So they whine.

The problem with Sir Les' posts is that they are long winded, meandering and packed full of pointless filler.

I can see why Sir_Les turns people off because his posts are too time consuming to reply to.

Many people post partially for entertainment and there's nothing entertaining about miles of meandering posts to reply to.

So if Sir Les was filabustering with walls of text, I'm not suprised people left there.

I swear to god the guy is on meth or something. 

Great story Scrap. Fuck all sense as usual. Aeroplanes and Rock formations. There is something you are both knowledgeable and entertaining with. Tell us all about Moonies. (Nice and short post - just for you Scrap)

Is cheap ad hominems all you are capable of these days?? Your posts are starting to resemble those of TCO. You know, when you lie with dogs, you rise with fleas and all of that. Are you just going to throw cheap insults or do you actually have anything meaningful to say??
