Well, welcome aboard.
It's a sunny bunch here.
You'll find plenty of great advice sometimes
packaged in evil containers, but...
Are you originially from Michigan? If not,
what's the story behind the nickname?
What ten piercings do you have and can you
offer a .jpg/picture URL/description of the tattoo
you mentioned?
Always nice to read words from new posters.

Keith is one you'll grow to respect
and admire for his intelligence and wit,
however you may also become tired
of his characteristic disdain and
disgruntledness.
He gave me some good advice recently:
"Say what you have to say."
That and, "Don't be such a pussy."
That's Keith.
Enjoy, Michigan, but don't take any
perceived rudeness too seriously.

Because you have how many piercings? yet you have no clue how to spell any
of them. You misspelled "piercing" on a piercing newsgroup. Generally
that's a sign of a poorly-constructed troll.
Either that, or you just can't spell. You're 19? That's sad.
And if you are legit, stop apologizing for everything. That's the surest
way to become RAB's newest chew toy.

> HI all I just stumbled apon this board about 2 hours ago and after reading all

A. It's not a "board". It's a newsgroup. Watch your terminology.
It makes a difference because the underlying operational
principles differ between ordinary web-based bulletin boards and
newsgroups. You probably need to look in on
news.newusers.questions for a while, too.
B. No one really cares about your arrival all bright-eyed and
enthusiastic. Better by far to delurk with a substantive question
that isn't in the FAQ's. You *have* looked up the piercing and
tattooing FAQ's and printed them off, and put them by the bed for
perusal, haven't you? And you have investigated the newsgroup
archive at Google, I trust?

"Syd"? We can guess what it is, but remember that this newsgroup
has an international distribution. Don't assume that the rest of
the world is au courant the latest Ozzie jargon.
I note that Keith Alexander has already fanged you. What's
happened is that everything that can be asked about bodyart and
all possible responses have already been posted many times. There
is nothing new to say on the subject. Thus, the newsgroup has
devolved into a sort of online social club, complete with con
men, grinches, inflated egos, pompous assholes, quivering
hysterics, and all the other archtypes you run into in clubs.
We are a bunch of neurotics and we do not generally welcome
outsiders, unless, of course, you manage to do something
genuinely amusing. This is difficult, and usually comes about by
inadvertence.
Another tip on surviving r.a.b.: Spelling, grammar, and coherence
of thought count. They are valued by many of the regulars. Cute
spellings such as "kewl", affected deviations from the normal
rules of English punctuation and capitalization, and similar
affectations inspire loathing and flamage. Don't say you weren't
warned.

Fat chance.
Why am I being such a grinch? Because affected distortions of
normal writing such as you display are Not Original, Not
Impressive, and Not Funny. Go read a lot of Dickens and then come
back and blast us all with long complex sentences, beautifully
and carefully phrased, spelled, and punctuated, but so convoluted

Web page builders would be available at:

and it should walk you through it step-by-step.

Hrm.
Do you have Microsoft Word?
It would simply take a few seconds to copy the
contents of the post you're replying to and then
paste them to a new, blank document.
You could then write your response, click on
spelling and grammar check, and then copy
your corrected reply and paste it to your
newsreader's out box prior to actually sending it.
It really wouldn't be an extreme pain in the ass.
And it would be good practice. Writing skills
are semi-important at the least.
You seem to communicate well enough.
It's simply your spelling that SUUUUUUCKS!
And it's *not* a message board. This is something
called Usenet. I actually stumbled onto Usenet,
what, about five years ago and also thought
it was some message board. I blame AOL. <g>
You can, too.
Again, welcome to the board.
Now go buy that dictionary or open up
Microsoft Word, okay?

One more tip, notice the text above is the only thing anyone really needs to
understand my reply. This 'snipping' of posts really helps things not getting
muddled in really long threads. So if you must respond please only quote what
you need to, not the entire previous post, especially if it's a page or more.
You could also respond to multiple posts with one, especially if you are only
thanking various posters for advice, answers, etc. No need to make 8 posts to
say the same thing, even if you are just being polite.
Thanks

Even you should be able to admit there is a
difference between a poorly constructed post and
a stylistic prefference. The original post looked
fairly obviously to be quickly typed and sent
without a second glance. Personally I don't care,
and it wasn't a factor in my original comment.
You've made several other attempts in this thread to

Come on you can do better than that.
Here I'll help:
I have a very small penis, am very over weight,
tend to always seek the last word, am never wrong,
have poor dental hygien habits, will purposefully
keep an arguement alive just to have something to

As bonus material I offer that there is a particularly
elusive, yet offensive odor frequently emenating
from my nether regions due to excessive sweat,
masterbation, and an odd oozing sore that
periodically surfaces it's foul pestulant head.
Now try again, and do it right this time.

Not really, but everyone makes mistakes once in a while. The
thing is, here she is in a newsgroup devoted to piercing, and she
misspells the names of the piercings she has.
Not that I really care. I think it was the sort-of breathless,
bright-eyed "I'm here guys, aren't you s-o-o-o lucky?" attitude
that rotted my socks. Like honey, you aren't the only person on
the planet with a bunch of holes poked in your skin. She probably
draws little happy faces over her lowercase i's.
But it does amuse me when newbies -- ones who probably dismissed
all their teachers' rants about spelling as irrelevant -- fall
into a newsgroup where Spelling Counts and discover to their
consternation that, well, Spelling Counts and they'll get called
on it if they fuck up too badly.

The difference is that Yttrx and I are both well aware of proper

Oh, I noticed that, of course. I was surprised when
she said that it is spelled lebret (was that the spelling?)
in the shop window in Australia. Was that the sign
painter's misspelling or can anyone verify that variation
as an Aussie version of labret? Similiar to the UK colour

>But it does amuse me when newbies -- ones who probably dismissed

How much of poor spelling ability comes from students
considering their teachers' rants as irrelevant and how
much is simply "something is just not there"? What I
mean is that I've read that spelling ability is no certain
indicator of outstanding intelligence.
I'm a very good speller, but I never once sat down
and studied a spelling primer unless you count thousands
of comic books, monster magazines, Hardy Boys books,
Stephen King novels, and more.
I think a person's spelling ability comes from being
exposed to a wide variety of reading material as a child.
Fwiw, I'd recommend comic books - lots of appealing
pictures which will lure or intrigue the child into *needing*
to know what the characters are saying.
Children's minds are like sponges and will soak up
all that vocabulary painlessly.

I am also amused when people are upset for being
slammed in a ng for their lousy spelling. I mean it's
text-based for cryin' out loud. What else are people
going to judge you on?
Content.
If the content is interesting I can overlook spelling.
Although in some cases I take a closer look if only
for the opportunity to make a (to me) good natured
joke.
LOL! Skookums (elsewhere) you said

I've not seen it spelt lebret here (Perth, Western Australia) it's
definetly spelt labret on my receipt, so I'd guess that the sign painter
got it wrong, or the Sydney siders have started making up the words as
they go :)
Colour and flavour are spelt the same here as the UK, we seem to like

to this level by simply being around longer than anyone can remember."

Considering that the term "labret" is based on the latin word for lip
(labrum), I'd venture to guess that "lebret" is strictly a
misspelling.

That's exactly the point, though.
The people on this group who write coherently are, with some
exceptions, usually the same ones who have worthwhile stuff to say.
The posts from people who don't care about their spelling and grammar
are, with a few exceptions, generally not worth reading.
This is due to a couple of things:
1. People who make the effort to put forth clean text also tend to
make the effort to say interesting stuff, because they care about the
presentation of their words.
2. People who have been exposed to enough to understand grammar and
spelling are just plain more interesting.
So, the core members of this group are confident enough in themselves
and in their common bond with enough of the others here to demand a
higher standard from those who would seek to participate. Elitist?
Yes. Unfair? Sure. Realistic? You bet your purportedly virgin ass.

1. If you didn't try so fucking hard, wrap your lines so short, and
act so fucking dippy, people might forget to dislike you. However, you
came on like a ton of bricks from the start, and haven't yet let up.
You still behave like a newbie who's scrambling for a place at the top
of the heap, which is why we still treat you like one.
2. I have no idea how anything could be good enough to outweigh the
amount of dislike you encounter here on a daily basis. If you had any
self-esteem at all, you'd have left a long time ago.

It is spelt Lebret here in Australia and unlike other countries it is
pronounced Le Brett not Le Bray. It is also not placed right under the lip it
is further down more in the little dip. I am not sure where you can find this
out.
And here in Australia it is also spelt Colour and Favour.

The word is derived from the Latin word for lips, so it has to
have an "a" in the first syllable. Cf "labial" used to name
certain consonantal sounds formed with the lips and the word
labia itself in English usage.
"Lebret" is just a stupid misspelling, that's all.

Curt, if I may be so bold, may I make a few observations.
1. If you talk to the tourists they may decide to move here, or at least stick
around a bit longer.
2. It still feels like you are trying to defend the 19 year old for no
concievable reason.
3. Your attempts at slamming people are pathetic
4. I'm only guessing but I think you may simply be fishing for an ever elusive
individual that you can either beat at a battle of wits, or actually convince
to play with your weiner. In either case the likelyhood of finding such a
person even in a place as expansive as the internet is somewhat unlikely, and
it's certainly tiresome to watch. Perhaps a trip to Singapore and a few US
dollars would appease the latter and a visit to a day care for mentally
challenged children would accomplish the former.
You made a half hearted dig at me, I gave you every opprotunity to better your
shot and you walked away. It was a test of sorts, you failed, miserably. You
obviously haven't built up much of a fan base in these parts, so tell us, what
exactly is it that makes you tick? If you think perseverance will get you
anywhere, you're wrong, you don't seem to have the tools to make it work. If
you expect being nice to the newbie after they are flamed will make you look
better, you're wrong again, as more often than not these newbies wander off to
less agitated waters. What is it? Come on, I at least really want to know, it
could well be the key to understanding a vast range of self defeating behavior
in others. I or another may be able to put such knowledge to good use for the
betterment of mankind.Do you have some weird masochistic urge to provoke
continual abuse from others? Were you locked in a closet full of porno mags as
a child and never allowed to witness actual social interaction in progress, let
alone partake in said activity (this would explain your liberal usage of the
word pussy)? Do you have a few extra chromosones we should know about? Are you
so terribly desperate for any form of human compassion that your warped little
mind will interpret the most negative reactions as warm and welcoming
invitations to intimacy?
Please explain all, then promptly seek some proffessional assistance in
altering your somewhat maladjusted approach to life. Everyone will be better
off if you do. Honest.

*** I just want to add that not all newbies are flamed.
Many make well-worded delurks and are welcomed with
open arms. We were all newbies at one time.

No. Standard word wrap length is 72 characters. I even go so far as to
make it *gasp* 70 because it holds up better to multiple quoting.
Your word wrap style is jarring to the eye and makes me want to read

Just because you seem to only be able to grasp as high up on the evolutionary
ladder as the internet equivelent of primordial ooze, I will explain this once
and only once about my posts. I write what I think, and often think faster than
I can type, a few misspelled words is often because I'm a few thoughts ahead
and couldn't give a shit either way, as long as the intended word and meaning
are clear. Obviously if
you were proofreading for spelling errors you could redo so for content.
Let me help you.
You make about as much sense here as an Amish at a Nudist camp. The only
difference is that in my example at least there would be a good story to tell
later. You add nothing except a little extra time to my download, I've yet to
see you post anything informative or entertaining, as a result I have opted to
use you as a form of entertainment by allowing my Clownish rage to have an
outlet, you still suck but not enough to make me really care, you're simply
convenient. Think of yourself as the victim of a drive by shooting only the
intended victim is your desire to live and the car is a VW bug with blue and
white polka dots and a skull hood ornament. You can choose to killfile me, but
I want you to know there will remain a resentment of your continued existence
that could never be repaired, there will always be that cloud over your head
that says "wow, I'm really not liked". Someday you may realize this and move on
to somewhere more suited to your abilities and demeanors, I'm thinking IRC's
#BarneyLovers might be a good choice, should be lots of impressionable young
things that wont have the sense to see through your pathetic attempts at
chivalry for the sake of trying to gain a little positive reinforcement.
>You're worth more than a second's time, of course.
See this is what I mean You're too fucking spineless to even make a sarcastic
comment without leaving it open to a more positive interpretation. Fuck, I hate
you.
>The only difference, from my perspective, between

I've duked it out with some of the best here over the years. I've won some and
lost others, but I've earned my position as resident Clown. Of course from your
perspective I would imagine we both look very brown and poorly lit as well. I
spose that position is alot easier without a spine.
>Spell can spell equally as well.
If anyone hasn't bothered to tell you, spelling flames are lame, but aside from
that there's a big difference between an occasional typing error and honestly
not having a clue. If this is all you have to add to this group, it's
unnecesary and you can find your time more productively trolling the
playgrounds for your next date.
