Sorry if you feel that makes me a keyboard warrior.

If only we had pictures of the keyboards the warriors are duelling with here, then this thread would be up there with Battle-toads. I reckon there's a Ducky Shine with cherry reds being wielded.

Happy to oblige, but sorry to disappoint...
I currently use one of these:

Logitech G19, original 2010 version.

I'd also like to add that I've never felt the need to double check my grammar so much since the last time I went toe to toe with Dowie;

Had a few spats with him, myself, again over casual passing remarks. It's possibly why I notice mistakes (mine and others') so much these days.

It's obviously more than 30 seconds or that post would have had the suffix. it doesn't.
And it's obviously less than 10 minutes since, in the example I gave you, I edited the post 7 minutes after it was posted (which is less time than it took you to reply to my typo) and the suffix is there. And you know it's a timestamp suffix and not something I've typed myself as when you try to quote it, the timestamp isnt included in the quote. Simple. If you want to know the exact time it takes for a suffix to be added..... ask a mod.

I've already said, I don't care how long an edit takes.
All that matters in the point I made is that it was edited.

Yeah you're really getting hung up on that. Tell you what.....ask a mod.

Ask a mod why you edited only one specific typo? How would they know... and why would they care?

More disingenuity. You are again trying to conflate points I've made in order to try and generate some kind of sense of confusion from me. The only one confused here is you.

Wrong...
It doesn't matter to me if you're confused or not. That's again nothing to do with my point and just you again misassuming my intent, which you again pretend you don't care about, while quite clearly caring enough to again try and make it all about you.

You don't feature in this. You don't even exist, as far as my point is concerned.

Sorry if you feel that makes me a keyboard warrior.

It doesn't... but taking the thread the way both you and I just have, right here, is exactly what makes you one. You did realise that, didn't you?

Is anyone actually reading it though? I come back and just think " oh another quote and retort rabble "

No-one that matters, I expect...

I don't know how you managed to attribute Dirk's post to me. Weird mistake to make.

Oh good, because for a while there I thought the point you were trying to make was that it took me 10 minutes. which it didn't of course. Glad to see you've backtracked cleared that up.

Nah. It popped up when I happened to be passing, and the timestamps suggest it took you at least 10 minutes

The timestamp was on my post quoting it. It was a good 10 minutes after yours and the typo was still there after I'd posted it. So much for 30 seconds...

I'm sure it took 30 seconds to edit the one typo I highlighted... but it's strange you didn't edit any of your others - You only altered the very one I mentioned in my post 10 minutes later...
Sure that's just pure coincidence though, right?

It was still there when I quoted it 8-10 minutes later, which is why I was able to quote it, and why I don't need a Mod to verify anything.

I opened it about 8 minutes after you posted, as I was already occupied on another thread at the time.

Jeez, I don't know why I ever got that impression . As for the rest of it BLAH whatever. I've explained enough; Don't care about grammar on this forum as long as it's legible, do care about morons trying to call me out because of it.

Oh, and I told you a mod would confirm when I edited the post, not why I did. Another strawman, another swing and miss.

Oh yeah, so I did. Oh well.
But even I, with my supposed lack of understanding, can see how I made that mistake, though - I thought you knew how post editing works?!!

May have been yours, but that was never my point. Speaking of which, I hope these more recent responses haven't been posted too fast for you...? I'd hate to cause further upset, y'know.

If you care about other people seeing it, don't make a mistake, then.
Even on this most pristinely holy of forums, people's mistakes are pointed out to them all the time, yet they don't get their panties twisted about it like you've done here.

So you have a problem with it. Good for you. So what?
Don't know what you're hoping to get from this, but whatever it is you're not getting it so **** off.

Oh, and I told you a mod would confirm when I edited the post, not why I did. Another strawman, another swing and miss.

Ja, it's what you said, but that was your response when I was specifically talking about what was edited and why... hence me questioning you on it.
So back at you with your "strawman" ********.

This is probably the longest and most pointless altercation I've seen on OCUK.

Do carry on.

Aside from a few callouts, I'm chained to the desk until end of shift at midnight.

Are you ever going to stop lying? posts #94-#96 cover this, specifically you commenting on me supposedly taking so long to edit the post, and me telling you i didn't and adding that you could ask a mod to confirm what I'm saying. You can't even get your story straight

 

[Scuzi]

Grow up, the pair of you.

Posts 94-96 aren't the ones you just quoted and responded to, though, in which I was talking about what and why. I did it several times and even questioned you on it when you still failed to grasp that it was a whole nother point.
Now, I get it - You have that one thread of an indeterminate time discrepancy to which you cling, so you're ignoring everything else and deflecting back to that. It just doesn't help that you're also doing everything you accuse me of, in the process of belabouring your one angle.
