Hmmm, quote features are acting funny on here. Forgive me for the code.

I didn't. The post to which I was referring was made by you before Kim and the two Steves joined LPSG. I don't remember you hanging with Monty back then either. For the record, I happen to like Kim and the two Steves. 'Crony' is not meant to be offensive. It simply means close companion and is not considered a derogatory term. Your main crony at the time that you blasted Valerian's spelling and grammar was Sammygirly. That was before you visited 'LPSG Lite' and told her that she was petty and ignorant.
My response:
"Crony" has a stronger negative connotation than credited. It may mean something per definition, but the vocabulary choice carries an undelightful sting I would rather not reserve for my friends. And unlike most squabbles I get into with the membership here, I was really rather upset that Sammy and I had to part ways so harshly over a silly disagreement. Looking back, I might have done or said something different in supporting Mark's decision to take action with lamentfully respecting how she couldn't do the same.
But really, I'm surprised that you brought up Sammy in such a doggish way since she was one of the first people to bash you for all those different lookin' avatars and pictures you have posted in claim that they were you at different time periods.

What fetish? I rarely comment on anyone's spelling or grammar except when there's a misuse which makes a post unintelligible. My main pet peeve is actually punctuation, not spelling. Okay, misspelling definitely jumps on my last nerve, but that's an exception.
My response:
By George, he's got it! Even if you didn't, dude, you probably correct people more than you realize. And I was getting down to a deeper question of why you do it so much, which received no response from you. I apologize for not making that question more clear. Would you have answered it if I had? Probably not... but hey... surprise me if you feel like it.
In the meantime, I really wanted to wade through your zillion posts to find some of the more glaring self-imposed edits you've made, but that's an exhaustive task all its own.
DMW said:
Like you did when you blasted Romey's spelling and grammar in your Reality Police thread, right?
My response:
Hey. I didn't deny that I have done it too in the past -- just way less than you.
DMW said:
Psst... I have two very black pots in my kitchen.
My response:
Good for you. Still loses something in the meaning when you say that I'm calling the kettle, pot.
DMW said:
But you know as well as I do what my first post in this thread was about. I picked on you. It wasn't my first time, and I'm sure it won't be my last. Lord knows you'll pick on me again. The comment about your cronies is that you jump to the defense of your friends. That's commendable. But when my 'cronies' come to my defense, you think it's deplorable. The only reason you jumped on Valerian's post is because he said he liked me. Period.
My response:
Well, good for you. Glad to see some backbone. Yeah, I think the membership's getting a little restless and antsy that we're duking it out. Hey. You're dead on. I enjoy putting my foot in your ass; sometimes it's out of sheer fun and sometimes you definitely, positively deserve it.
Aw. In retrospect, yeah, I thought it was deplorable that they kept rushing to your aid without considering the repercussions of your... well... I say outright lies, but half-truths or sloppy disclosures work just fine for me. It took a little too long to get the focus off of me, the Witch Hunter. Just like it took a little too long for the point, the meaning to come across. But hey, that's what happens when emotional reactivity gets thrown into the mix.
The whole battle became "You're a liar." "Nuh-uh!" "Uh-huh!" <some detective work> "That's shoddy!" "Your facts still don't add up, you wacko." et cetera.
But hey, witch hunt or not, if you're as fine as I am about not liking each other, then by all means let's continue to entertain and/or annoy as we will. If your jabs are a quarter as entertaining as the Evil, Incorporated Memos that Steve has been sending me as of late, I'll continue to get my kicks.
