Dorftottel - you will get along much better here if you realize your place in the realm of the WAB and stop acting like you have your head up your a$$. That being said, you are the one who needs a lesson - should most assuredly find it crammed down your throat in no time.

Following on this thread; we shall mark a beginning to our experience with The Board (if you forgive the omission of the acronym 'WAB' due to our avoidance of acronymisation wherever possible) by recounting something of the history of our profession in journalism, not the least of which has been involved with the beautiful addition to the estate in late time; the so called inter-net (further discussion on the merits of the popular label "internet" & the ARPANET, infernal acronyms followed to this thread after all) and the web log journalism which we find a saviour not a menace to the body of journalistic endeavour.

This brief overview shall consist primarily of recountings with some linkage or cross-referencing to previous logs and archives from the prior works of this writer in the field of blog journalism, to the ends of better acquaintance between us. As the said blog career is now duly ended by the joys of retirement so may all writings here be more to the effect of diplomatic effort, educational inquiry and worthy discussion than journalism. Morerover it is here promised that our processes will be brief in the same as our time is increasingly precious. The care with which our words will continue to be crafted is a reflection of nothing less than our respect for yourself, dear reader. Inasmuch as you have sacrificed of your own precious allotment of momentary blessings in this life you are owed the credit of our thoughtfulness. Still we find it now appropriate, without your contestation, to dispense with use of the editorial, not the majestic, "we" form (relation to the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha line -presumably the "Royal Family" to the which our friend refers- is quite remote indeed: you might observe that our Family is of British extraction and theirs is not) and occupy a more familiar place among friends the world over through the blessing of modern technology.

Look forward to such important details here as our BLOGSOPS, argumentation on the dialectics of the English language, reasoning on our ethnology as well as other essentials which you may well find a welcomed relief for your insomnia.

We begin our studies here with a quote from the American Hero, Burke Peirce, "Lord be present in this and every encounter of mine". And as this autumn begins here seeing our initial enrollment in this forum of lifelong education, and our lives are brought to brief occassions of intersection with one another, we begin this diplomatic episode by praying Almighty God that the words exchanged here may continue to be thoughtful, courteous and useful to the body of global diplomatic undertaking, Amen.

ALL RIGHT, SINCE YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN THE HINT! GET THIS LOUD AND CLEAR! GET OFF YOUR FREAKING HIGH HORSE AND COMMUNICATE NORMALLY! WE SHOULD NOT WORK TO UNDERSTAND YOUR POST. IF YOUR NEXT POST CONTAINS THIS BULL CRAP, CONSIDER YOURSELF BANNED!

AM I CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU!!!!!! BE ADVISED! THAT WAS NOT A QUESTION!

Have y'all met my friend, the most well-grounded, no-nonsense shaper-of-impressionable n00bs at the WAB?

Usually, I am the one that holds the n00bie-hammer. I think I'll take a sit-down and let somebody with some really excellent technique show me some new (and beautifully brutal) killing strokes that I may use in my repertoire.

Ryan Bailey,

It seems that I could not fully understand what you are saying, anyway, welcome to WAB!

Pls write in a way that we all understand what you are saying. People here comes from all parts of the world and we are not on the same line of thinking..
Thank you.

doohhh

homer simpson moment as my eyes glaze over after reading these posts ,far to many long words for me ,anyway welcome to the board

Ryan Bailey · 09-27-2007, 15:19 PM

I am proud to join you in this forum of diplomatic exchanges. My hope is that I shall have ample opportunities to learn from your important work here, which I am delighted to have now joined as a fellow student. In order to more perfectly achieve harmonious learning etiquette here I promise to observe the strictest codes of gentlemanly deportment & civil diplomacy as by supreme law & universal jurisdiction established and after the tradition of the Treaty of Westphalia, the Congress of Vienna and the ancient codes diplomatique.

-public identity: with pride for my work I use my own name not a callsign, handle or code name, taking full responsibility, unashamedly owning my opinion & ever presuming the company of professionals.
-English English: I typically use "The Queen's English" due to my belief that there should rightly be only one English and that the perversion of the same would lead, and indeed is leading presently to Urbonical Idiocy. I do value lingustic purity and attempt to practise it.
-proper citation: I endeavour to give proper credit where due, all facts are cited unless previously checked against two independent sources.
-solutions not problems; In a positive manner I attempt to see answers to the most pressing questions of our day, providing leadership not argument.
-ecclesial, civil & governmental professionalism: I refuse to involve myself in the political pettiness which has become the hallmark of our generation. Instead I promise thoughtfully refined civil exchange here.
-political endorsement: with the caveat that I am politically moderate, I here will refrain from endorsement or advocacy of individual candidates in races.
-full disclosure; I will publish any possible conflict of interests or prejudices on respective subjects the which I may or may not have.

Bluesman · 09-27-2007, 15:31 PM

Well. That's just swell.

Welcome aboard, I guess.

Ryan Bailey · 09-27-2007, 15:54 PM

I have chosen to come out of retirement due to an outstanding impression that I will have a great opportunity to learn here. My purpose here is more involved with bettering myself than with showing up others as such I know I will enjoy my infrequent visits here and I shant be one of the Board with too much criticism to give, feeling myself generally unfitted to the such.

Some may be acquainted with my previous work in this sphere at Liberty Post, Liberty Forum, Free Republic, Speak Easy, Liberty's Flame, Christian Alliance for Progress, Defense Tech, and elsewhere. In the sphere of the offline world I've been blessed to participate in journalistic work with some excellent people. I presently edit the South Vineland Times, pro bono, published by and available at our parish in addition to having multiple literary projects in various stages of development.

In addition to the profile listed information you will be interested to know that I presently work for a family owned and operated restoration firm, am a Cavalry Officer, landlord, planter, church warden, family man & fraternal man, & a frequent volunteer to many charitable efforts within our community and the world at large. You wont see many details as I see less benefit in self-praise than in self-improvement. Aside from being enrolled at studies here with you good people I also presently study with the University of Mounted Warfare, and am preparing for an executive MBA programme of study. Also, I have a love of horses, architechture & history. My favorite activities include running, golf, football, swimming, chess and particularly reading. I've recently begun studying more original source and alternate vantage history of the English & American centuries which I find thorougly enjoyable. I look forward to benefitting from the knowledge of some of the experts here from whom I will gain much.

Debbie · 09-27-2007, 21:58 PM

Well, look at you - welcome

**Officer of Engineers** · 09-27-2007, 22:07 PM

Thank You, Mr. Bailey. While your subject matters are still somewhat confusing, at least now I can understand what you are trying to say. Please continue to make your points precise and clear. As a military man, you must have been exposed to and understand the need for accurate and unclouded language. This forum is dominated by military men who continues that tradition.

**TopHatter** · 09-27-2007, 22:13 PM

This is extra-amusing and all, but shouldn't we be busy blaming the Jews for...something?

**Officer of Engineers** · 09-27-2007, 22:17 PM

Of course - for wondering around the middle east for 40 years and finally settled in the only place in all of the middle east without oil.

You're ALL those things? Goodness me, where do you find any time for message boards?

Why not just choose ONE thing to be - a fantastist, for instance - instead of spreading yourself so thin?
