It would be more direct if it actually applied to what I posted. Try reading it again.
You might be inclined to use the function as you mention, which is possibly why you mentioned it but that was not my intent, exactly the opposite in fact.
I thought I had made my "motives" clear. Are you adding your own?

haam-sup,
I am speculating here, as I have no clue what his reasons may be... but a guess is that Boomarang may want to get to know a bit more about a poster before deciding on the caliber of the ammunition he is going to use on a reply. If the poster on his crosshairs is someone that has before said things that Boomarang agrees with and who is popular in the forum, his reply will be a nicer one than would otherwise be if Boomarang finds that he doesnt like what the poster has said in other places and he perceives is not very much liked. Kindda like prepping up for battle. This may help calm him down if the poster is good or work him into a frenzy before firing up. Anyway, you can not fault the guy for doing some research before going to battle.
Again, me doing my usual stuff

Damn, Smeg, you are sharp tonight! (except for f_cking up my cornflakes).
That's kinda how I saw it: asking for better weapons for the 'battle', on BK's back, no less.
I just see a sort of desperation to prevail in what should be much less serious. ÝJust a bunch of guys (and girl, X) with common interests engaging in sometimes heated discussion, but without much to prove.
Given the recent vehemence of the attack on BAR (into which I have no insight), however, I can understand the tendency to want to hunker down.
I say "Turn on the lights, and see where the cockroaches scatter"
BAR: as for MY motives, they are pure. Really. ÝAnd I did read your post before I harpooned it. ÝAnd I quoted the part that raised the red flag in my pure mind.
If you say it ain't so, I will take you at your word.
But unless BK implements your request - DON'T HOLD ME TO IT!

Smegma - You do some damn good "especulating"! Cool word, can I use it?
That having been said, "gearing up for battle" admittedly is part of it although the popularity of a given poster has less to do with it. And, the number of posts a given member has, has even less to do with it, that is unless it is a "oldtimer" who is jumping down the throat of a newbie.
The thing is, communicating with people never having met them is hard to do and I prefer to give someone the benefit of the doubt first but then again, sometimes one does need to come out with guns blasting. Also, it helps put in perspective what a given member has to say at any given time as well.
I've got enough positive reasons to use such a function without having to look for negative ones.

BoomArang, I would say not to worry. Just go ahead fire and wait and see. Doing too much research may kill part of your fun. Anyway, most bros. here are always fast to capitulate and retract once they see the light. Retractions and clarifications of missunderstandings happen often. And seeing people, specially new guys taking on oldtimers and going at each other throat's provides part of the fun. Most heated exchanges die quickly anyway without lasting effects.
Just look at haam sup and myself. We are so confused now, that we have lost track and we do not know anymore if we are supposed to actually hate each other or do we actually agree with and like each other posts. And I am too lazy to go back and find out what my state of mind towards him is supposed to be. So I do just take it from whatever I feel like saying after the last stupid thing he may have said in his most recent post -oops! I didnt intend to say that. Shit! Now I got myself in h-s's crosshairs. Let me go to the bunker and wait for his missiles.
BTW, I guess you must be making fun on my spelling of Ýthe word speculate. Thank you. Hadnt you made fun, I wouldn't have bothered to check on a dictionary and go edit my post. See? Not being a native English speaker manages to find its way to show up. Which brings me to say that IMO having a spelling check function on the forum would be another useful tool. But I guess very few bros. need this funstion as most are probably like you (speculating again as I do not know), Ýnative English speakers, thus with better command of the language than me and would not need it.

BAR,
This truly begs the question: ÝWhat is so important?
I'm not being flip here; I really don't see this, or any other venue, where there is no money involved, as worthy of so much effort.
As I said before: murky. ÝNot putrid, just murky.
Makes one wonder about Sauron's assertion: Ýare you on a mission of some kind?

[oops, edited for reference.]
Haam Sup - I appreciate your post that starts out "Damn Smegma", as I do most of your posts.
And, now that you put your thinking at the time into words, I can see how you would have come to question my motives. ÝBut, that little attempt at fur ruffling didn't even enter the picture of my suggesting what I did nor looking back at it, would this have done any good. Ý
People can attack me all they want, I could only care less if I tried very very hard. ÝFlaming and attacking is so pointless and proves nothing unless the two parties involved do it for some sort of witty enjoyment. ÝAlmost as bad, people calling other people names, I feel sorry for both the person drawn down to that as well as anyone insecure enough to take offence.
But again, this is not about loading up for bear, this is about being able to find information and hopefully using it in a positive way. ÝAnd, I agree, one shouldn't have to feel the need to gear up, boards like this should be entertaining and enlightening, not a Testosterone dump.

Smeg - I'm pretty sure we currently like each other, but it could change at ANY moment.
BTW, BAR has committed the equivalent of my asking X if she was dyslexic! (She is...what a heel I was!)
I, however, native-born English-speaker, American variety, ALWAYS spell check, because as an OLDER native-born English-speaker, American variety, I constantly missssspell stuff...your English is almost undetectably a second language.
The 'e' prefix for words beginning with 's' puts you in a Spanish/Portuguese speaking country, right?
If I EVER speak Thai as well as you speak English, I will permanently f_ck off to parts unknown and leave this forum the worse for wear

Smegma - Actually I liked the word and wasn't trying to give you a hassle about it. I'm the last one to criticize someone's spelling or use of English, unless they do the same to others.
I still like the word!

BAR - my faux pas with X was unintentionally close to home, too. Not speaking for Smegma, but I'm sure no harm done...'cept the surgical foot removal
