You may think so, however, you were the one to bring how I spell my pseudonym (a red herring, btw) into this discussion about capitalization of the word cannabis.
no that was another poster...

I'm am not being duplicitous, that's outrageous (and nonsensical) to suggest I'm being "treacherous or deceptive". If anything, I am using a double-standard, so shot me already! ;)
common misconception is duplicity=deceit...
it can mean deceit however,the OED 1st def:
1
: contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action;

I spell my real name with capitalization of the first letter. And as a matter of fact, I'm unsure if English rules state a pseudonym needs capitalization ... are you?
obviously your handle is a proper noun in this context.

No matter, that topic is a huge red herring from this thread topic. Let stay on topic, shall we?!

:tiphat:

just because you say red herring does not make it so...

to which standard should we hold ourselves?

the science,grammar or humility standard?

Spurry the Red Herring realised he actually was a bit obsessive, arguing inane points on a forum of which no one will probably pay any attention to, but the left brain thought and rules made him feel safe so people left him to it,,,

@ dangabit,

I'll ask to you kindly stay out of this thread, if you can't stay on the thread topic. Thanks.

P.S. duplicity = (among other negative things) the act of being deceptive. It's an insult to suggest I am acting in a deceptive manner. It's simply nonsensical to suggest what you did.

@ Mods:

If anyone is reading this, can you please lock this thread? I think it served its purpose, and at this point, it looks like some people are just trying to throw shit. I'll PM a couple of you, in case no on is reading this thread.

ill post anywhere..
as for the topic is it not capitalization and grammar?

P.S. duplicity = (among other negative things) the act of being deceptive. It's an insult to suggest I am acting in a deceptive manner. It's simply nonsensical to suggest what you did.

i gave you the OED definition...
you choose to ignore it and create your own?

the point is..
if in your hubris you take us to task for grammatical lapse in our capitalization yet make your own rules for the same shows duplicity.
