What a nice way to describe a curmudgeonly iconoclast! Hahaha. Thanks!

Yes, it's classic Kraftie: nice, but genuine and true--and based in careful observation.

Winston Churchill was curmudgeonly--yet, very effective.

Oh no! Forgot about Egghead!

Egghead is the sage who is able to outwit the Foghorn Leghorns of the world, while still being a nice guy.

He makes me wonder what would have happened had Adlai Stevenson been elected president, instead of Dwight Eisenhower (though Eisenhower turned out not to be bad--and he criticized the military-industrial complex at the end of his term).

yay kraftie has his own hilo he deserved one muchly. genuine. the big apple's lucky to have him among it's millions.

i may not know much of the presidency but ike was one of my favorites either way, need more like him.

i remember him well from my newbie days here on WP. and his new avatar is the same-yet improved! where'd you find/made it?


how's your bathrobe? i'd join you in the wet bar, if only i was old enough (this beard doesn't lie)

Thanks, Kiprobalhato!

A member sent me the link to this new avatar--I saw how much better it was than the old one--so I went with it!

Kiprobalhato is so good with languages that he should have invented Esperanto--It would have been a richer language under his tutelage. And it would have been comprehensible--unlike that mishmash which is James Joyces' "Finnegan's Wake."

I'm sitting down, sipping the cherry grenadine which Catrin was nice enough to make for me! You could join me; it's a drink for any age.

Have you ever studied historical linguistics, Kiprobalhato? I'm sure you wouldn't be Grimm at it!

Who said New Yorkers are mean?

ASPartOfMe made it his business to research ASDs and society's perception of them--to the point where he's a consummate advocate at this point.

He also always presents himself in a virtuous and even-keeled manner, while letting people know that he has strong opinions on things.

Awwww Geee
Let me try this
"kraftiekortie" despite a life of being an Autistic and a New Yorker still manages to look at the bright side of life. He is an expert at knowing when and how to defuse tense situations that evolve on Wrong Planet. He has a knack of using quips to get his strong opinions across. Many of the opinions are "thinking out of the box" in a true autistic manner.

Kraftie. You're far too kind.

Best wishes for Merry Christmas. Look forward to your continuing wisdom here on WP in 2015.

Take care.

No, I would probably put this one into the "mutual back-slapping" category <_<.

Threads like this really aren't my style. It's all suitably huggy-wuggy and "nice". If that's what rocks your boat then fair enough, I suppose. Me, it's like a foreign language to me: obviously missed the memo as a child which said that female aspies are great at copying/mimicking other people.

Anyway kraftie's a cool guy by me. LOL!

Guys, tell me if I've done this right. Too many emoticons? Too few? Should I add another LOL!? Am I happy enough? Nice enough? I'm clearly striving for a certain tone here, but don't know if
I have achieved the right blend of likeability and blandness.

You're a real Sweet Pea.

LOL!

There, added it for ya.

TBH I think you should've added a couple 'm8' here and there, as that seems to be your go to friendly word. Hearts don't really seem to be your thing, nor wide smiley faces.

yay thanks for that - would surely join you for a couple of refreshments!

and i've read some bits here and there about the history of languages of course, but i'm currently working on creating my own conlangs, constructed fictional languages.
i've devised two extensive writing systems but currently trying to wrap my head around some tenets of morphology and syntax, namely when/how to use case, head-marking, etc.

making antiquated versions of them also to go with the modern tongues, where historical linguistics would certainly help my understanding.



awwwwwww you've got it just right. agree with Norny though, can't go wrong with m8's, m8.

Merry Christmas, Kraftie. Make a wish and I hope it comes true for you in 2015

Unless it's a stalem8, then you have to start over.
