Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I was reading old Soaps, and I noticed a very temperamental one from Brian, regarding Steve Irwin's death and the resulting chaos. *dryly* I like the 'go boil your stupid heads' bit. He has a good point, and I had no idea that this horrible thing even happened, but Brian's language cracked me up.

Dude is really passionate about his ellipses.

I cannot believe that some Queen fans have been out there 'posting' ellipses like me ... mutilating the innocent English language.

You stupid, stupid, ignorant, misguided idiots ... The Internet has a wonderful record for understanding and taking care of its language ... especially the wonderful period ... What are you guys thinking of ?

This is the LAST thing in the world I would ever have wanted .... I've crusaded ALL MY LIFE for the better understanding and treatment of all languages. It was killed in what was obviously an accident and a misunderstanding - these beautiful ellipses harm no-one unless they get seriously overused ... I have so often been using them and stroked them ... they are such peaceful forms of punctuation .... delightful in everyway.

And yet YOU stupid, stupid cretins go out and abuse them for NO reason .... Their inventors would have hated and despised you. And I hate and despise you ... along with any decent human being worthy of the name ..

You are inhuman. The whole world of people is ashamed to call you one of our race. Shame on you. Go boil your stupid heads. And anyone who is there and able to have an influence ... so many goo d people at the Internet HQ ... please use your influence to save the rest of these wonderful ellipses - before it's too late ...

with love

I am, unfortunately, guilty of doing the same thing... but hey, if Dr. May can do it, I can too! wink

His recent Soapbox post is another bit of ranting. Gotta love how passionate the guy is about animals.
(And more ellipses!)

BADGERS IN WALES TO BE SLAUGHTERED WHOLESALE, ACCORDING TO THE DECREE OF ELIN JONES

I'm shocked and disgusted by this news.

I cannot believe that extermination of these beautiful native creatures is what the people of Wales want. And all for no other reason than money.

There is a report here by the executives of "Wales against Cruelty", which makes such sad reading, I have found it hard to sleep since I read it.

I am willing to join this fight. We were able to prevail against ignorance in Scotland, and save the lives of thousands of Hedgebhogs. Perhaps we have a chance to save these precious creatures too, from being hunted down purely as scapegoats. As has recently been decided in the UK ... there are completely sensible and himane ways to combat Bovine TB in cattle, which do not involve needless slaughter of innocent animals.

I need to hear from some enlightened, Welsh Farmers ... I refuse to believe that they all support this awful decision by Elin Jones, when it has been shown beyond doubt that there are better and ethical ways to solve this problem - and that culling of the Badgers probably leads to a worsening of the situation. Nobody wants to deny Farmers the right to make money ... we all need to make a living ... but not at the expense of needless killing of our fellow animals who have just as much right to live as Elin Jones.

Let's NOT let this appalling thing happen.

Cheers

He's definitely a class act. A scholar, and a genuinely down to earth guy.
Rare for a musician of his caliber!

Wow! How lucky! He seems like an awesome guy.
