Ivy
you are like a child who believes that intellectual superiority is based on always having a retort, no matter how poorly expressed or lacking in content. Drawn to its ultimate and inevitable conclusion one is left with something like
'You always have to have the last word'
'No I don't'
'Yes, you do- you're doing it now'
'No I'm not'
Where, at best, you succeed in making someone else join you in
'Hey, look, he's behind you'
pantomime stupidity.
Oh, really. Kudos to you for that jaw-dropping achievement. I suggest all sane-regardless of their 'education' or 'lack of'-people
just ignore this eminently ignorable person. It's time to step getting your sense of worth from others, no matter how disparagingly, acknowledging your existence. Poor show.
Time to teach.
Oh, and in some cases....
learn.
Take care all. |

Nabakow, you are just another part in the tableaux I create. The truth is that your lack of education could only hard land you a job in some place I even had to look up on the Weather Channel website. Funny though, I presume you were being cavalier and receptive towards your own oblivion. And yet the ham-handed way you segued into assertiveness, bored me. You fumble for that high falutin message but you aren't strong enough to point that high-powered perception at yourself and the fear of being nobody.
Who's next?

That's English? No, it's not.
Let's see now.... Your Ivy education has "landed you" a job as -- (wait for it) -- an English teacher in Poland who cannot write standard English.
You've come a really long way, baby. Your "Harvard and Princeton" classmates are surely laughing at you! |

Oh how much fun I'm having. I thought I would catch this time Nabokow but I got stuck with the mother of all judges. I feel you, Dawg. Go and read my other post. If you are lucky, you might even fall off the chair.
Who wants to be the next victim? |

Yet another non-English sentence (with a major spelling error as well). The ivy clown rises to the bait every time -- and meets the low expectations that he's set for himself on these threads by continuing his poor writing skills.
Has nobody ever told the ivy clown that to write a real zinger that hits its target and draws blood one needs to write it well? Otherwise, it's just a laugh and goes nowhere. The true "victim" is ivy clown, whose education was evidently a total loss. He should get an Ivy refund.  |

I'm beginning to suspect that you spend too much time behind a computer, or you have watched too many movies and you are losing your grasp on reality. I think you are getting serious with this and that is quite thrilling.
Before I quickly get over you, let me do some therapy on you, see if it works.
... Quid pro quo, Daffyd, you still wake up sometimes, don't you? Wake up in the dark, with the lambs screaming? Do you think if you continue proofreading all my posts, you could make them stop...? Do you think, if you prevail, you won't wake up in the dark, ever again, to the screaming of the lambs? Do you...?
Maybe they weren't slaughtering spring lambs. Maybe you were verbally and physically abused by your folks or other students used to make fun of you for having such a soft character and being different, special... Do you have a real motive for behaving this way and hiding in the closet? |

| Ivy who is your gripe with? Are you in Wroclaw? I'd like to meet you if so and guide you through the idea of social skills. |

That would do, philyyy. The next time I visit Wroclaw, we get together for a round or two.
There's no point griping about anything around here. I'm having a bit of fun with our sanctimonious PhD from underneath the rocks who seems to take himself way too seriously. |

In my experience, when an OP cannot even write the first sentence of a thread concerning standards of English language teaching in a grammatically correct manner

it's rarely worth bothering to reading the rest of the post.
So I didn't. |

Come on. Can't you see a troll when you see one? This Ivy guy is an absolute hoot, although I suspect his online persona was influenced by Hugh Laurie's German in Blackadder II.
Do you recall a suave unversity lecturer and tutor at university, with whom you used to discuss literature until the early hours of the morning? Yes! He was the armchair!
Keep up the good work; reading this thread is more entertaining than anything on the idoit box and I can hardly wait for Ivy to return and week his rewenge. |
