What do you mean by "no offence"? How can I not take "offence" to this?

If in fact I am "attention seeking" then I have been doing so on several different forums for an extended period of time (and the only problems I have ever had with my posting style have been in the past week on OcUK).

Why do I "deserve all the abuse he [ I ] gets [get]"? (The spacing ["[ I ]"] is due to a grammatical error incurred when I posted in the correct format). Maybe people should try to understand that when people over-analyse the posts of another user they will spot traits more easily. Also I dislike to argue in a bad style. My use of brackets is generally to ensure that there could be no misunderstanding of what I mean (although many people disagree [I cannot see how it could cause confusion however]); is it not predictable (obvious [dare I say?]) that this practice will increase in argument? When one is in an argument (or debate [people would contest this I am sure]) one tends to have to be incredibly precise lest one be willing to waste hundreds of posts in order to sort out the posts which have misunderstood something; this is a possible reason for an increase in brackets.

copy and paste his posts into word on a mac, you can press ctrl+shift+s or something to make it say it in a robotic voice. My mac broke years ago so I can't remember :(

Download Opera, it has text-to-speech! In fact that's how I imagine Angus's voice to be like!

Actually, that's not fair, Opera has loads of settings allowing you to customize the tone of the voice, whereas Angus's is no doubt completely flat...
 
is this an "in" thing like that guy from the you tube videos then ?

seems a bit sad stalking him round the internet... (just because he uses brackets)

It' actually makes much more sense when you read it, as whats in the brackets act as a sort of mental commentary. It is quite like being in anguses(I'm sorry but the spelling suggestion for this is anuses) head while hes thinking, It does make sure you get exactly what he means though, as there is a lot more context to it, and as he says, less room for misunderstanding.

That's what I've been thinking. It reads like a verbatim translation of the thoughts bouncing around in his noggin. It's actually quite interesting to read, rather than the usual "***" drivel that propogates this forum.

Go Angus, you're my greatest hero. :cool:

Agreed, Angus is Awesome. :D

Some of his posts are unintentionally hilarious (the huge cups thread springs to mind), and even when they aren't, I still find them interesting. Even tho he is considered weird or strange by some, I'd rather have someone like Angus post on here over someone who just whines about grammar and such like all the time.

Ok, the brackets may make some of his posts look like some PHP code (I think this may be due to his interest in programming), but I've found them to be perfectly understandable. I doubt he's gonna win the booker prize, but this is an internet forum, so I kind of expect things like speeling mistakes (:D), bad grammar, etc. As long as I can understand it, it's all good. :cool:
 
Seriously I don't know which of the 3 options below is more pathetic:

- Someone asking if they have seen someone from a forum in real life
- Someone who bangs on about brackets and punctuation constantly
- Someone who constantly challenges someone who does the above

Grow up guys, get some fresh air it will do you the world of good :D :p

Aye some of them read as great deadpan humor. (occasionally unsure if thats intended, but if it is he's incredibly witty)
 
I'm sorry, but where the No Swearing! are the moderators on this bloody forum? This is 'bullying', its one thing to have a little laugh, but the insults are just plain and bloody stupid. If you want to persist with the joke, then keep it to the excessive use of brackets, just stay clear of the insults, its not on!

Personally, I laugh at all you stupid little kids who insist on ridiculing him. Higgins, stop using brackets mate ...
