    Says the person that I can only assume is trying, rather pathetically, to do a German accent on a message board or is trying to imitate the Scalpel character's voice form ROTF.

    Trying a accent on the internet?
    A accent is defined as 'distinctive manner of oral expression'
    Oral does not mean typed.

    When I read your posts I don't read it as a accent, I just read it as someone being stupid on the internet.

    And you know, a German could find it insulting.

    No, I think he's just saying that using an accent in typed words is the equivalent of asking someone who you're on the phone with how many fingers you're holding up.

    The way you're typing with that "German accent" makes me think of Uwe Boll for some reason.:p

    Tsk tsk tsk

    Citizen Kane man, Citizen Kane.

    Anyways, good on the kid for winning.

    And shame on people typing in accents trying to insult the kid in a fit of jealousy that seems to think one nerdy hobby is better than another.

    @FreshDebesh: Oh, ok.

    @awful gollum:...Vhat? Who's zat?

    @NGW: I'm not jealous of the kid. Plus, I was typing in the accent for fun. But, since people apparently want me to not use it, I won't type like that anymore...or, in this thread, anyways.

    You're on a messageboard for people to discuss toy robots and you're accusing someone else of nerdiness? What kind of hypocritical... person are you? You're either jealous or you're just an asshole. From your desire to send this kid spam for the hideous crime of achieving something via his hobby and your inexplicably attempt at a German accent, I'm starting to think it's both.
