Petition for the owners to ban leet speak

Someone before posted they didn't like it when people used underlines, the very first response was fully underlined.

Using underlining to emphasize is a carryover of typewriter days. There are proper ways of doing it now. In fact, both italics and boldface are far superior to underlining.

1337 speak enjoys the special protection of the administration and is, thus, not illegal on this site. Who wants, can get rid of the 1337iots himself. The ignore feature is there for a reason.

Hehe that's going back a bit. I remember that thread........and actually made a post in it about the "freedom of expression" issue that mysteriously deleted itself.

I think looking back Ming would have less patience with that guy now.

It's much more fun to call the geeks and tell them to get a life.

in any case, it's impossible really to ban it, i suppose. much like how it's impossible to ban that bastard but beautifully spelled finnish tongue, or how some of these young'uns, y'know, the newer, greener posters, tend to just kinda spell language in ways that make u and ur brain totally crawl out ur skull...

Get a life

I guess my biggest problem with it is that I can't always figure out what it says.

That's ok, we don't understand your 1950s slang either.

[rah]

Let me know when you find one example of me using 50's slang. Feel free to post it. Or is this just another case of you not knowing what you're talking about?

RAH
Of course if you had said 60's...................

So a lot has happened in this thread, since I went to work this morning (smiley posted in case the images ever come back)

@ FP: I agree with you that calling my thread stupid perhaps wasn't getting too much personal, but then again, it all depends whether you want to treat people nicely or no. You obviously choose to be not so nice a person. Your choice, your loss.

@ Vovansim: Thanks for the support. I agree with you on all points.

@ Sir Ralph: Perhaps Ming didn't know about leet at the time. Perhaps the administration has changed their position on this. Who knows. I think Ming made his attitude towards leet very clear earlier in this thread. But you should probably ask him for clarification.

@ Tass: If your post was meant as a joke, it was a good one. If not, then let's continue this when I can see people's smileys and have a better feel for what in this thread is sarcasm and what was seriously meant.

Boy I raised some emotions with this, didn't I?

My intention was only to create attention to the fact that leet is an abomination. But okay. Apolyton will surprise you every day

You fell for that one too. I dare you to find an example of that either. Which you won't.

Now if you had said 70's..............................

Hmmm, any bets on whether he'll fall for this one too?
