Unless your going for the specific Shakespear quote I think either would be accepted.

I am surprised Mr. Stevens has responded in this thread.

I have read in other posts here that if you have a problem with someone. Deal with that person thur a pm, not publicly announcing hey I have a problem with so and so when that is a personal problem between two individuals that should dealt with in a private matter.

That is my take on this.

Interesting read on the petard.

Thanks for sharing.

You're surprised that I have, or have not responded?

Actually, I have a lot of confidence in the senior members of this forum, they are good at keeping the peace here, as the first few replies show

Sir Neal, how do you do sir? With kind regards as to the above mentioned comment on senior members, one does not doubt your confidence, or dispute their standing of seniority, within said community. However sir, might i take this brief chance, to express my preogrative to attest the fairness and worth of (some) these fine fellows. Your comment of which i will confess is to me, as expected, as i trust you certainly believe. but iam hopefull on the understanding that you can easily conceive how sensible an affliction it is to me on reading, entering, responding, to this post. As all opinions differ. Bye your leave sir, good day.

Default PETARD

A friend of mine mentioned that their is a game titled AGE of EMPIRES, in that there are "petards" which can be chosen as a weapon for use.

Steamwake: I believe "SailorSteve", the resident "spelling cop" may be on holiday presently, or has been sitting in the donut shop since your last post on this thread, as your spelling of the word "meaning" in that post is almost correct. Your spelling of the word was "meaining". I have no problems with spelling errors, however it must be mentioned that if Neal, with basically no operating budget is going to pay SailorSteve to patrol the site, Neal should not have to pay for the donuts also. SailorSteve is being abusive and taking advantage of Neal.....BAD COP NO MORE DONUTS.

Jimbuna: Thanks for the help with the graphics. I really appreciate your going out of the way ro help me......And yes, you are an authority with reference to "cops and donuts" as you are one.........Good Day of EVENING to All..........The New Ships-R-Us

I do believe Mr. 4Para was attempting to convey his opinion of distaste towards the nature of this thread. But, by God, the man's long and rather incomprehensible post does little to express his point without inflicting much unnessecary confusion upon this thread.

SirSteamwake, so sensible and so good natured a man, my original post will serve as my only necessary remark, as continuous opinions may not be proper to commit to writing. Iam always indeed willing to discuss further, should you wish the need, and indeed feel it somewhat your business. Please feel free to PM me. Thank You and Good Day.

[quote=Raptor1;1240155] 4Para was attempting to convey his opinion of distaste towards the nature of this thread. Sir Raptor1, Let me simplify, clearly you are mistaken, it is a response, to a difference of opinion, is all, not the thread and as for the rest sir, one finds quite remarkable. I dare not to be so sanguine as to hope you take stalk, and leave of your post.

Ah, then I must have misunderstood you, sir. Do you mean to dispute Mr. Stevens' claims that the members of this board are quite as responsible and good at, quote, "keeping the peace"?
