I said I was an APO, I guess that was a give away.

Same writing style, same type of questions. We knew by your first couple of posts. Us mods are part time detectives....

Same writing style, intonations, cadences, even paragraph breaks. Amazing that a minor in linguistic studies can actually come in useful sometimes!

I don't personally remember the exact post, but it was one of the first ones and I remember posting in the Mods Forum something to the effect of "Doesn't Curiouss sound a lot like that person who got booted that asked the dumb questions on the BGLO boards?"

Wow that was a compliment! I thought I asked dumb questions on ALL of the GLO boards, not just the BGLO boards.

Call me a dumbass. But, what does intonations and cadences mean? Examples?

Linguistically, most posts may have been the same. But, they were tamer. So... that shows that I CAN behave myself and I am harmless.

1. Yes, you're right, you did ask dumb questions on all of the boards. Perhaps I should have specified that the ones on the BGLO boards were offensive and borderline racist as well.

2. Intonation is they way in which certain words are emphasized. For example, when describing something that one wished to describe as "of high or fine quality", some people tend to always use the word "outstanding", some use "awesome" some use "great". For GreekChat allowances, I will expand the definition of intonation to include use of smilies as well

3. Cadence is the rhythmic flow of a speech or writing pattern. Unless someone is making a conscious effort to change theirs, their speech and writing will always fall into the same or a similar pattern, or meter if you will. It is also applied to length of sentences, paragraphs, etc.

Linguistics is often employed by profilers when reading ransom notes, threatening letters, suicide notes, etc. One's writing style is actually very difficult to alter, much like handwriting, and a lot of information can be gleaned from it.

Could it be that you're trying to figure out how to escape our notice better next time?

Case in point...."more tamer". Repeated grammatical mistakes of a similar nature are also a good incidator that it is the same person operating under different identities.

I gotta correct that.

I guess we'll just wait and see. I firmly believe in the old saying "A leopard can't change his spots."

Wow another compliment! I thought I had offensive posts and threads on all of the GLO boards, not just the BGLO boards.

I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm just bored, I have nothing to do until a hour and fifteen minutes from now.....

Well I for one find the intecletual underwhelming! Along with the insensitiveness and moronic behavior! We were trying to be straight up with you on your questions, but you turned in the part of the donkey none of us would partake of!

Be true to your own self and friends or end up with neither!
