Admitted trolling yep. But...what do you call this thread here? You initially started this thead as one big troll to encite people to flame/retaliate against you. But I suppose it's ok if you do it, right?
That's an interesting high horse you sit on. I'll ignore the fallacy at the beginning of your post, since I now know it's ok for you to do it
Which fallacy would that be?

Wait one moment. (three words spelled correctly) Utter inability to form an coherent thought? You respond to my posts quite often. You point out the spelling errors and the holes in my logic. You tell me how my posistion is wrong or otherwise groundless. This must mean that you are able to not only read what I present, but understand its apparent intent. Thus I'm capable of thinking and expressing myself in a clear and consistent manner.It may not be as clear and consistent as you may like but its enough to disprove your above quote.
I have a habit of running a search and cuting and pasting whatever seems to support my possition. I admit that freely.
You're an idiot, Somthor.

Yes I have an minor in History, I guess education standards here in Florida are lower than you guessed, either that or I'm brighter than you Imagined.

And sorry, but finding a brand new colloquial use of "cooth" on an obscure Scandinavian website hardly disproves my point.
Honestly, if you want a dialogue you have to do several things:
First, get a clue: don't speak on subjects where your only knowledge is a random quote you haven't bothered to read pasted from the web. The internet != true.
Second, quit typing like an illiterate. Learn at least the basics of how to form a coherent argument (I thought you said you had a degree?) You can have no credibilty until the way you express yourself matches the concepts you are trying to express.
Finally, just back off. You may, through hard work and demonstrated worth, eventually earn respect. Face the fact that no one cares how you feel, and quit insisting people treat you with kid gloves and tea-and-crumpets style. If you had the wit and style to defend your preferences, things might be different, but you suck at arguing, so you should probably not go looking to be offended.

I knew you were going to play the ad hominem card, and almost addressed it pre-emptively. C'est la vie.
The simple fact that I've called you a name does not invalidate my argument, or represent hypocrisy. Since it's a flame, not a debate, the insults are part of the territory. Nor do I base my arguments upon ad hominem barbs. The name-calling is just icing to provide entertainment.
I'd also suggest you not assume any mystical ability on your part to upset me or push my buttons. If you'll notice, I routinely respond to all posts directed my way; you have no special ability to get my goat. "I'll say something stupid about Bloodsage so he'll reply, thus demonstrating my power over him!" seems kind of silly any way you slice it.
Finally, like I said last time, my motive for beginning this thread was no where near what you claim. I should know, after all. I posted this for no other reason than to flame Black for being childish.

Do you honestly expect me to believe that you innocently confused an obscure Gaelic word or, even better, a hot-off-the-presses Scandinavian-English slang of some sort, for "couth"?

It's a JOKE.
It's giving names to all the things that just.. ARE. None of them are real words. It came from a MESSAGEBOARD. What a sterling source - even though it's in no dictionary, slang or otherwise.
You keep saying 'if Bloodsage was insulting you infront of a CO', he's get in trouble... That argument is pointless. Why? because you, nor he, are in front of his commanding officer. The UCMJ says that he cannot be rude to another officer - in fact, it has NOTHING about being rude to civvies in front of other officers!
There's a boatload of difference between telling your ranking officer to suck your dick, and telling someone who WILL NOT SHUT UP about stuff that is wrong to shut the fuck up. He's not talking to you in ANY offical way; He is not acting in his capacity as an officer, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with his job.
You have no idea what you are talking about - you just did what you normally do, which is fuck up, then scramble to cover your ass. Somehow, you say that mixing up word A and word B When you KNOW that they have different meanings is... ok? That's worse then just being like "Oops. I misspelled it." I mean.. GOD.
Just give it a rest!
You talk about being a history major; doesn't that mean that you learned about sources? What sources are reputable, and how someone basically saying "Because my brother's nieces' roommate said so makes it true" IS NOT CORRECT? It's hearsay. Anything on a homepage (not a website, a newssite, or a government site) or anything on a message board IS NOT PROVEN. Just because you say it's so doesn't make it that way! You seem to have a HUGE problem with that.
Reputable sources.
And don't expect ANYTHING to be accorded to you. You aren't being a gentleman, and you sure havn't been 'all but polite'. You are acting like we owe you something - I don't owe you any respect until you earn it.
While I didn't like you, you lost almost all of any remaining respect when you posted an article to prove your point; and you edited it to make it seem like your point was valid!
Oh, and just an addition, not an attack: You may not ant to post pics of your kids online. It's usually a bad plan, because you don't know any of the people on the other side. (this is REALLY not sarcastic or anything. it's somewhat dangerous.)

sorry to burst your bubble but if you had read the article which you apparently didn't " Conduct violative of this article is action or behavior in an official capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the person as an officer, seriously compromises the officerÂ’s character as a gentleman, or action or behavior in an unofficial or private capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the officer personally, seriously compromises the personÂ’s standing as an officer..."

Oh btw Bloodsage told me to drop the UMCJ which I was doing. I suggest you do the same.
The proofreading Rox comment belonged to my own post - I have this annoying habit of typing "talking" as tlaking - it's one of my own typos I hate the most, so I corrected it.
And as to editing for context, how about this post? http://forums.evercrest.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=50870
You know, the one where you were crucifying a company by cutting all of the redeeming parts out without posting the original link.
As for the link you put forth: google.com has 3,307,998,701 webpages in it's database. It finds one sole instance of your "it's a word!" in all of those. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=cooth+pillow
Since you seemed to have skipped over it, let's go over this again. You claim to be a history minor! How did you manage to think that non-repuatble sources are as good as reputable ones? Hearsay is just that - it's like saying "Bill Gates will give me 250 for each time I forward this e-mail, because it's on 4 websites and in my e-mail!" Do you see the issue at hand?
Since you seem to think I'm an idiot (since you think of me what 'Sage thinks of you), why don't you ignore ME? As was rehashed previously between Ryenar and Bloodsage, one person saying "I don't like you! You don't like me! So YOU ignore me!" is hypocritical. I find you mentally engaging to argue with. I keep it off the main boards/thread (since I was poked by Drysart. I apologize for pulling it out of flame threads), so whatever I decide to do is my business. If I descide to argue with you, about you, to you, or with a TREE, it's my perogitive.
I find your tactic of 'googling' for anythign that may or may not be relevant and then throwing it up as a defense annoying. What I find much more frustrating, is someone will a: call the credibility of a source into question, b: will tell you 'I don't think this means what you think it means', or c: will provide more numerous and credible sources to refute your source, and you get VERY up in arms.
Calling me a parrot is nice and all. I would like to know who I'm parroting, just to be clear.
... Anyone got a cracker?

Quoth Somthor:
No I honestly expected you to belive me when I said I used the wrong word. I typed in Cooth becuse I mispelled/misused it. I mearly added that it was also a word in its own right.Instead of just letting that go as the error I addmitted it was you had to go one to state that it in fact was not a word. Which ment I had to show you that it was. Which is why a thread that should have been dead and long gone is now in its 5th page.
If I remember correctly, I stated that "cooth" wasn't in any of the myriad dictionaries I own. After you asserted that you had, indeed, used a real word. What was the point of that? After you got ridiculous, I even took the trouble to look in the OED, which, if you know anything at all, is the premier English lexicon. It was there, but in such an obscure usage as to be irrelevant. You simply could not accept the fact that you fucked up and looked stupid (yet again), and had to make a lame attempt to somehow redeem yourself by quibbling. Remember: all I said to start was, "Note the correct spelling."
Strike one.
Next, last I checked, we (I was, anyway) were speaking English. Whining that your inability to spell is somehow mitigated by the fact you occasionally--and purely by accident--spew forth words belonging to odd dialects in other languages seems a bit over-the-top. Welcome to your new job, typewriter monkey; good luck reproducing Shakespeare.
Strike two.
Finally, you seem to have forgotten that the internet != true. The word may, indeed, be a new colloquialism making the rounds somewhere. . .but you produce a Scandinavian website not written in English as proof? Get real. That's just one more example of your methodology of randomly cuttting and pasting anything at all, without the least bit of analysis on your part, that seems at first glance to support what you hope is true. The funny thing is, they rarely do, and your total inability to perform the most rudimentary common-sense check on your "sources" routinely puts you squarely in the spotlight as a complete loser who lacks even the basic survival instinct to quit fighting when he's been completely demolished.
Strike three.
The conclusion is obvious: you're stupid. Well meaning, but stupid nonetheless. Normally, that would be okay. You haven't the slightest awareness of your limitations, however, and you insist on flaunting the worst parts of your character. Stick to the happy fun threads. Or not, but don't whine when you find yourself crushed beneath a mountain of contempt every time you reassert your public idiocy. Even the dumbest animals learn from negative feedback; why can't you?
