Anytime you use a "you" in your utterances there is likely to be an antecedent problem unless you (1) start with a proper noun or (2) cite the earlier quote you are referring to.

You are the antecedent problem, so, yes, you are quite correct.

It might be time for him to empty his list and stop trying to dominate us. Assuming, that is, that he actually wishes things had gone differently for him here.

PS. That is still a guess - I don't have the skills to diagnose that stuff.
You just did. Ask him that is. You think he doesn't read all the posts? I know you are not that stupid. Then again...

Er!? No it's not.
Otherwise you are jacking the thread.
Kinda what he's doing. :lol:
In most forums that would get you banished.
He would know I guess, as he's obviously a refugee from somewhere that's had enough of him.
But this forum is largely unmoderated.
No, it's moderated. Its just mellow and then extremely violent with normally no explanation.
Still it is bad form and bad taste to jack a thread.
Nice to see he admits his faults.

Oh I can assure you, I have mountainous heights of stupidity left to... erm... where was I going with that? Up I suppose. My stupid, it goes up a long way.
Yup, nailed it.
