(no subject)
I don't know about anyone else, but at monash we have forums (called muso) for each subject so we can discuss things thus making us more productive. I can't help but laugh at what one of them has turned into. I posted the majority of it here. The higlight is the imagery of a train dressed in ripped jeans and a pink polo shirt with the collar up.

Ladies and Gentlemen
Whilst on muso the other day, I stumbled on a little icon of a thumb tack and after clicking on it, discovered a whole community of whingers and hypocrits.
I dont see where you get off having a gripe on these forums, proclaiming that you have no time to fit them into your busy little schedule. YES! I'm talking to you Mr Payne. What I find most odd about your argument is that you somehow have conjured up some time to go on muso and write a little essay.
And quite frankly, Mr Oh is an idiot. Why take so much time writing so much crap. At least do what I've done and make a fool of yourself. Oh wait (no pun intended), you did. Let us embrace Sarah Elizabeth's fine example. Her Quirk-iness (oh, I'm unstopable with these puns!) be the basis of our future studies. Lets face it, we are, we are, the youth of the nation. There are ways to get to there, if you care enough for the living. Make a little space. Make a better place

i obviously had time to do the test but that still doesnt mean it isn't an inconvenience. And writting one of these msgs doesn't take 50 minutes. And Ben W still didn't give any good reasons y the test isnt a waste of time since it isn't an accurate means of testing people's ability.

Call me cynic, but I dont think the same test will be given on Friday. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they will be different. Having said that, there is a good possibility that will be exactly the same. After seeing Jay's attempt at trying to derive I for a circle today, anythings possible.
Speaking of things possible, I ask the question is it so hard to copy and paste? For some people it is. Let me give you a quick example (and yes, I am talking about you again Mr Payne)
".....And Ben W still didn't give any good reasons y the test isnt a waste of time since it isn't an accurate means of testing people's ability......"
Theres one thing that struck me as odd. Alex here refered to me as 'Ben W'. Its not as if I refered to him as Alex P or A. Payne. There can only be two reasons why he would make this frankly disturbing abbreviation.
1. It's a racial issue. He doesn't like my surname (ie: its from a different culture) and hence is repulsed by its 3 e's and several r's.
AND/OR
2. He is frighted by words containing more than 8 letters.
I like to see the best in people, so I'm more likely to agree with option 2. This sort of ignorence would also explain why he abbreviated 'why' into 'y'. (or maybe, just maybe, he listened to my advice and he's trying to save time so he can study for the second test tommorrow?)
Anyway, in response to Mr Paynes comments on how i didnt have any good reasons why test was a waste of time, I will have to agree with him. I didnt come up with any reasons why they aren't a waste of time. Thats because I wasnt arguing that.
Till next time

Benjamin, the discussion are should be used for communication and the exchange of information relevant to this unit, and not for your personal agendas. I think it's best that you keep your issues with fellow students away from, what was a peaceful forum, until you, being the PC thug that you are, came and destroyed this non-confict environment. I trust you will cease from typing posts containing irrelevant banter, and in future, think about writing something that is constructive and is not a whinge.
this lead to some other guy pointing out that everyone whinges on muso, so he shouldn't just be refferring to Ben.
Reply Cameron Lee
Say what you want Robert, but believe me, if you know Ben like I do, you would understand where I am coming from. I'll leave it at that.

Who is Cameron Lee? I sure as hell don't know who he is. I'm not sure why he thinks I know him. I'm not even sure if he's a guy or a girl (having watched House and not understood why the chicks name is Cameron) but I do have an inkling (the tone was very femine).

Dear Mr Robinson
I recently read your reply to my posting on the forum and was a little taken aback. Incase you forgot, this is what you said:
"your a freak get a life grand wizard dickhead of the universe"
Before I delve deeply into several quite obvious grammatical errors I would like to tell you a story, a parable if it were.
Once upon a time there was a little steam engine. Funnily enough, only the week before he climbed a hill with sheer will power. Nowdays, he wore pink polo shirts with the collar up and jeans with holes in them. He was one cool train. For weeks after his massive ego trip up the hill, he just cruised around, chatting up carriages (its a bit like Sawyer Island, where Thomas the Tank Engine lives) showing off his cool new mobile phone with bluetooth. Anyway, one day Sam Oh T (as he was now know) found this tall hill called Mt MusoForum. Being the arrogent little train that he is, Sam Oh T thought he could climb the mountain. So off he went to climb the mountain. When the going got tough, Sam Oh T brought out the big guns that took him up the mountain the last time. But it just wasnt working. His words were falling short. Although they may have proven effective in the minor leauges, when it came to mountains like Mt MusoForum, he discovered that he needed to have a little bit of a vocabulary. So Sam Oh T rolled deflated to the bottom of the hill. He was still, and always will be a LITTLE STEAM ENGINE.
THE END
Now, for your sake, I hope you got the moral of that story.
Just incase you didnt get it, let me be blunt. You are a little boy. You may think you're clever with you hardcore comebacks like "dickhead", but lets face, you're nothing but a small insecure tryhard. If you ever want climb the mountain that is Muso Forum, grow a vocabulary. You're gross lack of interlect may have overlooked my subtlty (Sam Oh T is Thomas spelt backwards). Don't get me wrong. I like you. You sound like a nice guy. And I hope one you do climb that mountain. As the song goes, "Ain't no mountain high enough" and so on and so forth.

Ladies and Gentlemen Once again I have been verbally assulted on this forum, and once again I must retaliate. If I may bring your attention to a man who has flown under the radar lately and has only now spoken up. Comments include: "Be quiet moronic" and "be quiet freak wizard arseclown, no one wants to read that rabble thou shall write. parable this." and have prompted such response from the Engineering Faculty as follows: "Please make good use of this communication site. The language being used by the latest 2 students is unacceptable." (The other student quite obviously being our good friend Mr Robinson.) The author of these comments is Patrick MacKenzie. And rather than give him the satisfaction of a parable about him, or even some help in his fragmented sentances (read that rabble thou shall write?! What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you some sort of B-Grade Thespian actor?) I will just refer him to the good old "sticks 'n' stones" saying. Lastly, if anyone disagrees with anything I am saying, please just reply. If you dont, I will just accept that I am right in everything I say and dance a merrry jig. Like so. Ben Weereratne
