    Commy please tell me how you can reiterate a point you agree with with out "spamming"

    If id copied and pasted his post would that have been spamming?


    Commy if you`re bored go entertain yourself without giving random warnings because you think you`re important.

    Why would you re-iterate the exact same point? That's utterly useless and wastes the reader's time.
    And yes, if you had copied+pasted his post, it would have been spamming. If you add something of substance to your post that's your own idea, then it would not be spam.

    And if your points are exact to the previous post or point and there is nothing you can add?

    Should i stay silent or add strength in number to the point given?

    ZOMGZ. Zer0, your almost-UD article says that you are 1337, and that makes you the closest thing that I have to royalty at the current moment.

    Want to knight my pony for me? I could get her a flower garland, and some pretty shoes and some sparkly eyelashes... Well, she'd probably just eat the flowers.
    And the eyelashes.
    Maybe just a nice pink blanket.
    Programmer pink ftw?

    Then she'd be a Lady, and she'd probably spout wings and a horn and show her true nature as a unicorn-pegasus of awesomeness, and I could fly off into the stars and get magic powers and be a princess... *shiny eyes*

    I suppose, though, that the knighting of a penguin does demonstrate our society's inherant need to cling to tradition while still developing and growing. We've melded age-old, bland English traditions (as far as I know, knighting's English. I'm sorry, I'm too lazy to check) with penguins, which symbolise exploration of the exotic, and the juxtaposition presents the modification of history to fit in with the current fast-paced melodrama of today.

    I met the King of Norway when he was a Prince :yup:

    We were demonstrating Forward Operating Bases for landing craft...it was really funny ...we beached cammed out and then the bloody tide went out while we were waiting for him to arrive...when he got there we must have been 50 metres from the sea.......happy days :arf:

    So the penguin is a sir. The penguin is a sir. THE PENGUIN IS A SIR.

    P.S: The penguin is a sir :nope: .

    I find that extremely weird lol. Do they really have nothing better to do
    than waste time and media attention on the knighting of a penguin?

    That's pretty funny, it even reviewed the troops haha, I think that it is weird to knight an animal, but the title Sir would be a cool one. I want to be knighted xD
