Uberdude's post has a very combative connotation to it. The phrase "than you can be bothered to" is antagonistic. Uberdude is a native speaker, so I wouldn't let him off the hook for his choice of phrasing.


Very combative? C'mon, get some perspective. It's not like I'm trying to start world war three. I am a native speaker of British English, you of American English; perhaps that explains somewhat our different interpretation of those words. "I can't be bothered" is a popular phrase here (the alliteration of the Bs gives it a nice ring).

Anyway NoSkill and I are moving on, you can continue making a mountain out of a molehill if you want.

One of the more interesting threads recently IMHO. 'Dude *was* rude but I agree that people who post blitz games for review deserve a 10-second reply. :tmbup:

I thought MW's post was spot on and self-knowledge is something we all need more of. :tmbup:

But in the end NoSkill came up trumps. I liked his last post. I've thought he was kind of a BS'er (he is! ... but aren't we all?) :tmbup: :tmbup: :tmbup:

As for the rest of you (us)... Hmmm... :blackeye:
