It's actually fairly common for second language english speakers to have better english than the average native speaker, specially on written form. You have a lot more focus on grammar and texts and far less exposure to common vices and mistakes you so often see in any language.
This was actually used to out spies during the Cold War. Knowing that no native speaker has perfect grammar due to their comfort with the language, a certain lack of colloquial familiarity was cause for suspicion in the right circle. Funny though, not knowing anything about Pucca, I had him pegged as Chinese. That post was almost cut and pasted from my Chinese friends' English on Facebook.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF SINGAPORE FINDS YOUR FALSE INFERENCE THAT PUCCA WAS SINGAPOREAN AND THEREFORE A 'CUNTHOLE' TO BE ERRONEOUS, LIBELOUS, AND POTENTIALLY TORTIOUS. WE RECOMMEND YOU TAKE DOWN THE CONTENT AND SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT PUCCA WAS NOT SINGAPOREAN. WE MAY PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE OTHER PORTION OF OUR CLAIM AS WELL.

God dammit, threads like that just piss me off. Can't OP see his thread is making Papa John's less likely to donate to eSports in the future? If I was a PR guy I'd be shitting myself over that thread. It's all fine and well when people express radical opinions over the internet, but when they associate those opinions with my brand, then I have to do some damage control, and if that means never touching this community with a 10-foot pole, then so be it

Meh, PJ's will respond to sales figures above a random, poorly thought out thread on TL. Based on the pace at which Tier 1 was reached in sales, I've no doubt that PJ's will likely be happy with their efforts regardless of what pans out from that turrible thread.

That thread is chock full of stupid. They should just nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
The OP's sig as well:
I'm a strict equalist. If a female wants to be treated equal to men, then that smack they just delivered will be returned promptly.

Someone should make a song called Highway to Disneyland for threads like that

WhiteLantern was just banned by KwarK.
That account was created on 2012-05-27 13:57:40 and had 13 posts.
Reason: Multiple accounts.
I assume this is the esteemed alt of the fellow who has just been warned in the Oklahoma Tornado thread.

Indeed. He made it some time ago to dodge a ban and nobody noticed it then but he felt the need to draw attention to himself.

That Sweden thread is getting saucy. We even have a religion argument evolving.
Banning time?

deb + europe is always a fun read, too bad he stopped posting in it. wonder why... elem (the swedish one) provided some really good insight i hope didn't go unnoticed: pøst.
edit: i wish the thread wasn't closed, it's very interesting to hear from swedes about this problem (not evolution and atheism). maybe some swede will feel the calling and organize a new one (with a big mod note on top).

I agree, just read the thread and actually it seemed like it was coming back to the right path having veered away for a while. DEB's posts made my brain hurt though.

Lol, I'm well aware of the whole Papa John's controversy, I too find their stance reprehensible, but at the same time people need to at least acknowledge the fact that making moronic and/or aggressive posts like that does little more than project a very bad image of our community to sponsors. ~_~

The broader eSports community could do a clinic on looking gift horses in the mouth. Some of them have fair enough points about the politics of the company, but if world peace itself was sponsoring a tournament someone would find an ax to grind about it.
