For native English speakers only: Would a native English speaker talk like this?
| Moved to Language desk |
|---|

A: She only loves you for your money, obviously. If you told her you sold your car and quit your job, she'd be gone in a minute. B (being sarcastic): Sure, I'll take your word for it. You're a self-proclaimed authority on dating, aren't you? You made me realize that every woman I've ever met or fallen in love with was either a sociopath or a gold digger. (I got mixed responses the last time I asked native-English speakers if this conversation sounded natural to them. Some said the wording is so archaic and stilted. Others said it's fine the way it is. What are your thoughts? If you were A, and B told you that, would you say "well, I didn't expect a 21st century native English speaker to say that"?)Jra2019 (talk) 02:59, 23 January 2016 (UTC |

Can someone please block the Static IP making this edit about presidents needing to be sodomized? Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 04:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Obvious troll is obvious. HighInBC 01:16, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
@Wnt: If you watch the reference desk you will recognize that this is a reoccurring character. The person who posting the question was trolling us, and this thread is feeding the troll. The troll says "Nom nom nom, nummy attention". As for my name, you are welcome to come discuss that on my talk page but it is hardly relevant to this discussion. HighInBC 16:23, 1 July 2016 (UTC) |
User disguising identity?
There is a user with posts on the ref desks who signs as: ] (]), which renders as Apostle (talk). I recall a troll from awhile ago with a moniker similar to "Russell", but don't recall specifically. ~Cheers, :2606:A000:4C0C:E200:9559:2AAF:B103:4945 (talk) 22:03, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- Such a signature is permissible per Misplaced Pages:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. An extensive discussion of this user's signature ("Space Ghost" at the time -- other monikers have included "Angelos|Angelus", "SuperGirlsVibrator", "Mr. Prophet", & "Mr. Zoot Cig Bunner") is at Misplaced Pages talk:Reference desk/Archive 117#Signature discussion. -- ToE 14:01, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Peeps,
Can you all view this link please. This two are behaving like "idiots" and calling me disruptive. And Guy is threatening me on top - link. Note: I posted to Guy twice before out of annoyance. I thought I'd be nice the third time, but he's an idiot. There is another idiot who's trying to support Guy Macon's baseless argument, named ClanPan...
Can you guys shed some light to this so that I can take them to ANI for disrespecting me, using force. - If they understand their wrong doings I won't take them to ANI.
Apostle (talk) 18:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Why do you keep calling your fellow editors marshmallows? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 20:38, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's short for "people". Slang for friends, close pals, etc. See Urban Dictionary, my link attempt broke the Small template for some reason. ―Mandruss ☎ 20:45, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I know nothing of this dispute, care even less. But you might refrain from calling people idiots while complaining that they are disrespecting you. ―Mandruss ☎ 20:53, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think Saint Russell should definitely take this to ANI and get some useful feedback. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I agree 100%. Nobody at talk:Reference desk has the power to shut idiots up, but at WP:ANI they have the ability to completely block idiots from editing Misplaced Pages. Now that Russell.mo / Apostle has determined that "he Is an idiot" he should definitely "take me to ANI for disrespecting him, using force." Regarding the "If they understand their wrong doings I won't take them to ANI" comment, nothing Russell.mo / Apostle has said has in any way caused my to understand my wrong doings, so ANI is clearly the only way to force me into submission to Russell.mo / Apostle's will. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:38, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I have to say I didn't understand the "force" part. Maybe he's going to use The Force? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:47, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
I just assumed that he was talking about the Forth (programming language) with a speech impediment. You know, like how he says "idiot" when he obviously means "all around nice fellow who everybody loves". It's a common error... --Guy Macon (talk) 01:59, 20 July 2016 (UTC)- Clearly enough for me, Bugs' comment was a thinly-veiled jab at the user's imperfect conversational English, with full knowledge that English is his second language. It's treating ESL users as second-class "others", not unlike similar treatment of IP users, and equally inappropriate. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:10, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- User:Mandruss - Can you explain to me what the Original Poster is trying to say? I understand that English may be his second language, but if one edits the English Misplaced Pages, one should know enough English so that, if one makes threats to go to ANI, someone can figure out what the ANI issue is. Otherwise linguistic competence becomes an issue. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:14, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- No, I can't make any more sense of it than you can. And I don't disagree about linguistic competence. My only point was that neither justifies ridicule. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed. The Original Poster is creating a better case against himself than is created by linguistic ridicule. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:38, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

- The Original Poster is very strongly cautioned to read the boomerang essay before going to ANI. I have no idea what wrongdoing the Original Poster is alleging was committed against them. I do see that they have engaged in personal attacks themselves. However, their complaint is incomprehensible; ANI is a problematical forum, but I do not recall when I have seen them block an editor with a more-than-ten-year clean block log based solely on an incomprehensible post that doesn't even allege a wrongdoing that I can understand.

Hello ClanPan, I might have misjudged you, regardless, please forgive me if so. My internet kbs ran out as I was re-correcting myself on the RD Talkpage – if you don’t believe me than please check on the RD Computing page, that I re-wrote the message, deleting your name but not “you guys” carelessly… It takes time for me to write a passage/message, and I do make mistakes if I rush it… I’m also ESL. Plus, it was late night, I couldn’t top-up…
Everyone has bad days sometimes; mine’s explained above. I don’t deal with ANI; you guys are enough… My brain malfunctioned because I couldn’t “undo” it…
Hello Everyone else (except Guy Macon), sorry about this post; my mistake. Let’s conclude the matter as “Guy Macon is right…” I don’t want/need to win this rubbish argument – I behaved like a little kid...
Let’s be smart and disclose this matter. Of course, you are more than welcome to take it to the ANI. Your free will, what I careless of...
Regards.
