A writer... An books we may have on our shelves? From this thread, as an example of your craft, probably nothing I've read more than a few pages, if that. The gratuitous use of obscure, lost words, seldom seen outside the pages of a dictionary or thesaurus, distracts for the focus or intent. As pointed out in many of the comments Sometime more, is less effective, certainly not creative. Such a high IQ, MENSA no less, yet not so smart on how to use or manage your resources... A writer's goal, is to guide his reader toward a common vision. It's a rough road to travel, if one must decode the test, or use a dictionary. Still think some one got a new toy, and showing off, just playing. Plenty of writing tools for computers these days, can make even an inbred child, read as genius...

Here human beings pass as glimmers, and a glimpse of everything is had through the transparent atmosphere. Everything is illuminated and quivers under waves of light propagated in space....

It's "I suspect". If you are going to correct someone's grammar, you had better make sure you don't make a mistake in your own grammar...
You remind me of my Physics teacher last semester... very smart, but very little common sense... and just plain annoying to talk to.
Stop speaking in riddles, it isn't fun to read.

If the words "Romper Room" show up anywhere near this thread I will know for sure that Coin_Master is back and haunting this place.
May I make a suggestion? Shorten your bloviating posts... they really are a turn off... this is a metal detecting forum.

In all seriousness, a little quiesence on these words wouldn't be set bad writercop.
Now that I think of it, your name is starting to give a little hint...."writercop"....hmmmmm

It was a dark and stormy night and there I was detecting in a seedy part of town. How did I come to this place in such terrible weather? Was it because of what "she" said or was it my own inner demons that drove me to dig, dig, dig? and what was that 76 signal?
Just last Friday I was sitting in my office off Maple Avenue. The blinds were pulled down and the neon sign across the street was blinking on and off when "she" walked through my door. She was a short drink in a tall glass.
"Are you happy to see me or is that a detector in your pocket?"
Actually, it was a Minelab G5000. I carried the battery slung low in a holster under my left arm.

Might I make a suggestion. Don't act as arbiter for the masses. If you want to expatriate me, fine. But others such as Jason and Tony and others have expressed an appreciation for my "bloviating" posts. Rather than indulge in a non-too subtle bit of ham-fistedness on me, why not hold others equally accountable such as the guy who referred to me as a lower orifice? Obviously, there's some intrigue in what I have to say, or there wouldn't be patronage of the thread. Should I revisit with a new post, I will start fresh, with newfound knowledge of the protocols herein. It was not my intent to stir things up. But nor is it in my nature to just put up with others' malignant b.s. What of the other issues I brought up that you have elliptically glossed over? Have you been blind to the less friendly comments made in other threads? Or is it simply a matter of whose ox is getting gored?

and with writercops elitist attitude towards those of us who don't want to sound like a dictionary, people like this is why i say i'm sad to be part of such a pathetic race of beings. We fight and kill each other over the simplest of thing. An idea for example, we are in fact less than a spec of dirt in this whole universe yet we act as though we are the top dogs, some of us, gods. Just think of how perfect this world would be without creatures like us, or if we could at least all just get along and live peacefully and stop the meaningless bitching, moaning and groaning.
Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, salt, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, iron, and various other elements. You know what this means? If you do then how special do you really think you are? How much better are you really than me or the guy down the street? Not very.

I agree, how humans behave is really hard to fathom, seems it will just be a bleak
futhure of who has the best car, most money, best house, and so forth.
Not all humans are bad but were only strong as our weakest link.

Park, whatever your intentions for asking, yours is the first fair question asked. My intention is to learn. I will admit to having a knack for pissing some people off, although that usually isn't my intention. Kahlil Gibran said that the most sensitive of men will hasten to hurt your feelings lest you precede them and hurt theirs. Well what happened herein wasn't exactly a preemptive strike, but I admittedly and consciously escalated it. It's funny - the same thing that has turned people off herein has pissed off others, as well. I remember a deputy telling me that when he first met me he hated my guts because he thought that I was always trying to show off. Then he realized that was just the way I talked. As an only child I grew accustomed to hanging with older people and acquiring some of their tastes. My circle was apparently different than many others, but I don't regret it. But what the by-passers to this carnage don't know - couldn't know - is how much similar !!!! I've endured throughout my life for simply communicating in the way to which I've become accustomed. Can it come across as pretentious? Yeah, I guess so. But it isn't. It's the way I am. When I first posted the offending comment, I wanted others to be candid with what they thought about while detecting. I'd recently read a post by someone who really did a great job of communicating what their hunt was like. It really put me on the ground with him and I felt like I was with him in a manner that no video could accomplish (so much for the pic and a thousand words). I simply wanted to see more of the same by still other posters herein. While I have made my grievances with the group known, it has also shown the capacity to be generous (save for possibly showing where everyone does their hunting). I thought my request for more details was a reasonable one; when I got chewed out for communicating that request, I got angry. I don't regret anything I've said, but I do regret how this has evolved. I am a polarizing man by nature. People love me, or hate me. Rarely is there anything in between. But I will say this: Sometimes they have changed their minds about me. That they have come to dislike me is a given. But others have come to appreciate some of my talents, particularly those for whom those skills have proven profitable. But hey, we don't always use our superpowers for good, 24/7. I apologize to you, Park Hunter, for using your question to give some context to what I've posted. But thanks for asking.
