I can't help but read all of your replies with a cheap Arabic type accent in my head. It's hillarious!

Firstly:

I picked your post because it was the first post I picked... sorry to disappoint.

If you are not Arabic, I would still place you somewhere in the Middle East or India due to your style of writing and the way it sounds in my head.

Also, your use of phrases which are directly translated from your native language, like 'Go hit yourself in the head' which have no weight in the Western world, discredit you even further.

Secondly:

I would classify myself as the common, passive 'lurker'.

Sometimes, however, one cannot stand idly by and has to throw in their two cents.

You just happened to be my first target. Also, as most would have discerned by now, I am a native English speaker.

Sorry about this slight derailment guys.

The above quote has me in tears.

Christ guy.

No one uses the word 'peddler' in the civilised world. Every time I read it I cringe. Just stop. Pack up your Yurt, your caged hamster / generator, and fuf into the Siberian wilderness where you obtained your "English Degree".

I have come to the conclusion that stu4 is a troll.

There is no other explanation. Or I have stumbled into some inside joke that I have not picked up on.

first.ly/ˈfərstlē/
Adverb: Used to introduce a first point or reason.
Synonyms: first - at first - imprimis - first of all - foremost

Its use is apparently unknown to you.

I see.

It baffles the mind as to how University students can fall prey to these types. The mere fact that they are in an institution that is based on research, one would assume that they would at least research who is doing their work for them?

Then again, University students aren't all that smart to begin with...

I wish I could understand what you are trying to relay. It's like trying to translate cuneiform script.

The reason your ESL students really like your work is because they just don't know any better. To them your work is outstanding, awe inspiring, Shakspere'esk. Their Lecturers never doubt that the work is theirs because they can't decipher most of it as well.

I say stick to what you're doing (writing for ESL students) and agree that people like Pheelyks should write for native speakers.

I think that should keep all happy and students covered.

I feel it is my solemn duty to remain here and make you look like the fool you are.

Sorry guys, the Bighead has arrived.

In all honesty... honesty.

I feel that people should have one rule which is truth. I don't feel bad expressing my opinions of you and anyone else because of that very reason. If you cannot handle the criticism or advice and feel a need to attack others, then I will attack on their behalf.

I think it was this little gem a bit further up in the thread which caught my attention:

I just realized I resurrected a necro-thread and started and argument... I am 'the troll' :|

I'll be the first to admit I might have initially acted badly and I do apologize but your responses did validate my initial reaction. Whatever, I wish you no harm but still think your English needs serious work.

... I'm going to bed.

This type of thing honestly brings a smile to my face. Just when you're feeling a little bored behind your desk or your assistant doesn't provide entertaining enough conversation, you can always bet these jokesters will bring something to the party.

I'm glad that the tide is changing around here. People are finally realising who are 'trolling' fraudsters and who are honest, logical and brutally honest writers. The latter might not be liked in every instance but truth and honesty are rarely liked anyway...

How do you have the time to create all these 'alters'? You are 'new'?

Don't make me laugh...

Jesus Christ this is just what I needed...

"You should die eating Sh1t", was my favorite.

I find it all a little sickening to be quite honest. Foreign companies are muddying the waters with their sub-par writing services and slave labour'esk remuneration schemes. I will say this much; there are a few good foreign writers but no, there are no good foreign companies.

I miss pheelyks and WB giving these guys a mouthful...
