Lessons learnt all round I hope Roll Eyes

I dont share your morality; and if you thought somehow to shame me, it didnt work. Also, I scorn all hope: Hope was the ill at the bottom of Pandoras box, the evil of evils, the most malign of all evils. For the lulz, keeping up with the theme of things that I did not study in schoolin this case, something that was always obvious to me: (Gerade wegen dieser Fähigkeit, den Unglücklichen hinzuhalten, galt die Hoffnung bei den Griechen als übel der Übel, als das eigentlich tückische Übel: es blieb im Fass des Übels zurück).

Your lesson as such is duly filed in taken under advisement. 🗑️

I was, however, under the impression that nullius's post was satirical.

Yes and no. Please look to the overall context: dragonvslinuxs rude, empty conceit in reply to a polite, jovial request by someone whom he evidently dislikes for no good reason. That came with what I read as a subtle swipe at me, though the correctness of my such inference is irrelevant to my point. So did I despise this rudeness that in protest, I awarded merit to Vods jolly post.

dragonvslinux - nice charts! I'd like to see mine.

Apologies Vod, these are reserved for "anthropologically interesting cases" only - whatever the f that means, and you weren't the most interesting it seems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Students these days will study anything, especially nonsense philosophy. I'm sorry your not interesting enough, maybe try a little harder Tongue

I think I've said too much Grin

For that, dragonvslinux deserved and received a slap in the face measured according to the seriousness of his stature.

However, the way that I delivered it, I left him a loophole. If he were not such an insecure little twit, then he could have done what I would do: Laugh it off!

Am I mortal? Do I myself sometimes make bizarre typographical errors (usually induced whilst editing) which are not caught by my obsessive exercise of the preview button to read proof? Alas! It most saddens me when such a fate befalls one of my precious little belles-lettres. Nobody has yet dared to flame me over such a triviality; but if or when that happens, my response may be expected to be along these lines:

Quel dommage! I have erred! 😢 The form of my art is marred by some trivial flaw which dishonours its unavoidable substance! I will now slap myself in the face with a large trout, and then drink myself into a stupor. Meanwhile, complaints from my critics shall be filed according to the virtù of their own substances, as measured against mine. 🗑️

Of course, that would not work for dragonvslinux: He lacks the requisite substance for such boldness. Indeed, he underscored that point with a tedious outpouring of virtuous slop, his unintentionally comical hypercorrection of my punch line, and his ridiculous posturing about lessons learnt all round I hope.

I do mean the word ridiculous in its literal sense of inviting ridicule.

You need education: Try a little harder, as you said.

HTH, HAND.
