Something to really complain about

Gutfright · Oct 16, 2017

Reading this forum is sometimes like reading the Daily Mail so with that in mind I wanted to point out that if you go to, "Barnard's Star", (don't forget the apostrophe) and get close to the nav beacon, the Morse code it transmits doesn't include the apostrophe! Outrageous.....

I don't read the Daily Mail and Morse code doesn't have an encoding for an apostrophe.

Thats my home station. I might move. Some of the factions are edging closer to lockdown. I'm allied with all of them except 2 and they pay well.

Don't give into the rage.

Crack open a beer and relax.

Beacons should use Baudot code, so they could transmit the Daily Mail with all the apostrophes.

Either I was only looking at the standard characters or my 1911 American Morse Code guide is slightly out of date (and probably American).

What sort of rage thread do you call this?

Your spelling is correct, so is your grammar. No multiple exclamation marks, no smileys, you haven't left the caps-lock on. Not even a wall of text. Pitiful.

The only marks you get is for the obscure nature of the subject and a vague minor dig at forum posters.

Terrible effort, 2/10

You forgot the comma before the opening bracket. According to MHRA guidelines, that's a no-no.

If the only issue you have with the D.M., is punctuation; then you have never really read the paper. Which could be a good thing.

Not only that, he didn't write an open letter, a final appeal or request a refund so he spend it on some other space game... Can a score be given in the negatives?

And it's not the tenth "That's it, I quit!!!" thread that he's posted in the last year. The quality of troll threads is really slipping.

Maybe we should show them how to do it right?

The only issue there is I might troll so well that I report myself and get banned...

There is an apostrophe missing...... welcome to endgame.

I think someone should send these guys out to Barnard's and totally destroy the star:

Artificially intelligent talking thermostellar bombs solve so many problems.........

Can you uses them on troll threads?
