Well drolling over a model is pretty sad. I mean, really it's just a model, is drolling really necessary?


Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I think your best bet is to ignore it. Seriously, consider the source on this one. Does he really sound like someone whose opinion should matter to you?

(Still don't know what "drolling" means; being happy, perhaps?)

Whatever you do JD, just don't call a spade a spade... or call a spade an idiot... or call JohnDD a spade... I can't remember which. Anyway, just don't do it, as that gets you suspended and has the added side effect of causing your avatar to change!!!

So that's why the avatar is different? Once you get suspended you're avatar is summarily executed?

I liked the old avatar, fit with your grumpy, codgy, cynical posts.

So ha!

Actually, as I just started painting my models - for real - I decided that ol' Commissar Calgar should get some colour too!

I guess the OP made fun of somebody's model and they took offense?

Meh. They should get thicker skin.

Ah. Another fine example of John having to be right about everything, even when everyone else is having a great time using the word 'droll' in the wrong context.

I've asked him this before, but why does he hate freedom? Why must he murder fun?

So sad...
