How do you know he's joking? It might just be an observation with a suggestion that the person in question get themselves tested. As for making fun of real people, Havaloko or whatever his name is did that all too well.

He's got form, so to speak.

Anyway I'm surprised the thread is still here, as it was starting to devolve into insults when I went to bed last night. Kinda glad it is though.

Um, [Morning all, how is everyone today|Hope you had a good evening, see you tomorrow]* Delete as appropriate due to time zone.

Right then, let's have a look at the votes...

Definitely Mysterons.

I once heard a fantastic answerphone message in the voice of the Mysterons:

This is the voice of the Mysterons,
I'm sorry but we are not available at the moment.
Please leave your rank and colour and we will destroy you as soon as we get back.

That guy in the picture has no nose, I wonder how he smells...

I know people with dyslexia, and it's not a matter for joking about, or are we moving onto bashing disabilities now? I really hope not.

I am afflicted myself. Thats why my posts are always edited. Thank goodness for spell check

It looks like in order to comment on these forums these days, it's important to speak on someone's behalf, or in other words, be the voice of something.

I am the voice of...
(Oh dear, what's it called again? Em! Don't tell me.

EDIT: Yes, I remember. Lethe

Anyway, being a prolific poster of nonsense myself, I thought I should be a voice too, but I must ask, of what?

You are the voice of shi-VAWN or possibly: The slithy toves, [who]
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

 

[dayrth]

The slithy toves..

Only if your mimsy.

But being just the voice of one's self seems rather boring now.

It is a matter for joking about. IMO
It is a way of coping with it.
I used to laugh all the way to the front of the classroom to be "belted" for my bad spelling, every week.
The good old days, what fun we had. [mad]

Nope! Not a good enough answer.
Cue (or is that queue) for a lecture on self esteem.

Well if you had/have/suffer from it, then you have a right to joke about it, I guess... but the rest of us don't. I know some people who get very stressed when people bring it up, even unwittingly, and therefore don't find it a funny topic.

 

[CMDR Heisenberg B. Damned]

Actually I quite like your current one...

Or you could go all JKR and be

The Voice of Eciov

Whichever I'm just glad someones putting themselves on the line for this important work

This is getting a bit deep for this forum.
I just mention it because I am much happier since I came out and stopped trying to hide it.
When I was young, dyslexia was spelt s.t.u.p.i.d. Now it is a recognised condition and most people are sympathetic, as long as you don't make a big thing of it.
I found one advantage. I can almost read Dutch. I am Scottish and Dutch and Lowland Scots are both Germanic languages. When I was working in the Netherlands I found that the sense of adverts and posters was meaningful. (The pictures helped. )
Tell your friends it is part of what makes them, them.

Completely OT (even to the OT discussion you just had!) if you want to really use strike it's [ S ] and [/ S ] without the spaces.

I am the voice of reason... sometimes.
Other times I'm the Voice of the Silly.
I am also one of the many Voices of Odd™.
... And when required, I am the voice of Justified Sarcasm.
Choose your own voice... Be the Voice of Choice.

So THAT's what all that space dust is... Laundry detergent!

Ask the Voice of Clean, I'm sure he (or she) will know...

 

[Bill Clement]

You are- the voice of all too uncommon sense!

(Do I win anything? Can I haz prizes? )

 

[Arry]

I believe the OP has me in their blocked list.

So after looking through their posts and brushing aside the occasional negative post; I would have to say. They could be the 'Voice of Optimism?'
