if a thread was anonymous could you recognize the OP?

Post by NRC » Thu May 04, 2017 2:03 pm

- deliberate usage of more obscure words. Repetitive, heavy reliance on analogies
- links to support a point being made
- over-developed language, meandering, clauses that sometimes have dubious syntax
- a presentation style of a poet

It's normally abbreviations, punctuation and colloquialisms that give people away.

If it advocated the use of our unused center halves in midfield, I reckon I'd have a decent idea of who it might be.

here's an example of poster #4 - our resident stanza-king. He writes every post like this:

Assuming neither Hull and Swansea suddenly get another 3 wins plus the odd draw
from their remaining games and we don't go into free fall then yes we're safe or as safe as we can be at this stage.

Having said that they both play Watford and Stoke in their next two games.
If per chance they won those and we lost our next two to Everton and MAn U then I don't think
many would be saying we are safe.
We've got a tricky run in and have to be grateful we managed to get that win against Stoke.

We might still need 3 or 4 points before we can claim we are safe.

I'm possibly number 3.

I'll often start a sentence with an ending in mind but it will change half way through my typing and end up switching tenses and participles even though it's still going on and not finishing until the moment I hit the full stop.

When I write properly I have to proof read very carefully.

You lot here can just deal with any dubious syntax that comes your way.

But I'm still not sure it's me.

There is a poster, whose name escapes me, that compiles posts that look like poems. I commented on it before.

Such a shame you lied about where your season ticket was when you put a row and seat number up a while back. As for your Austism comment that about sums you up as the coward you are.

If I say 'WTF' outloud and need to read it again then it's Pstotto.

I've explained all this earlier. I'm through with you now, Goodnight! = Rowls.

If it's a well written critical and realistic analysis that could have been penned by the clubs PR team, then its Spice.

If it reads something like, Clarets 147 WBA 1 on the score prediction thread then it's Vegasclaret.

Hopefully one of his forecasts will come in eventually. :D
