I tried.

I tried to be clement, to stay my hand and abstain from kneejerk reaction. I gave you every opportunity. All you had to do was read THIS and make some attempt to communicate like something more sophisticated than a chimp.

Actually, that's not fair to chimps. Several chimpanzees (most - but not all - bonobos, or "pygmy" chimps) have learned to communicate very effectively using everything from sign language to abstract symbols on a board. All of them have better grammar than you. See, for instance, Nim Chimpsky or the earlier Washoe for chimpanzees capable of using American Sign Language, or Kanzi as an example of signboard-style communication. Hell, Kanzi even figured out fire with minimal help. Which brings us back to you.

Not only did you ignore your infraction, you compounded the error by continuing to post like some kind of pre-simian typewriting savant. You have given no sign that you are capable of improvement or even intelligent thought. Since you have failed to acknowledge your shortcomings and have additionally shown a commitment to continual stupidity, I can see no course but to mete out the final stage of your punishment. Enjoy reading the EJ forums. You won't be posting here again.
