My dear FiFi - I was trying to grief you by implying that your nose-bleed adventure was, in fact, shameless attention seeking.
I should have known better than to try to grief the griefers!
Ohhh I seeee. Well, you wouldn't be able to grief me with a cunning plan or clever quip. I'm afraid I'm much too thick to follow anything more convoluted than a plate of spaghetti. Which, I must confess, I chop up with a knife and fork as twirling it on a spoon is far too complicated for such a simpleton (not to mention a bit damned Johnny Foreigner if you ask me).
As for attention seeking; I'm more the type who clears one's throat quietly, half raises a hand and murmurs "Umm, excuse me" in a self-deprecating and slightly nervous manner.

... I wonder if the correct form should be Mangeypox with an 'e' in the Mangey bit, or no 'e'. I like to try to get my spelling rite.
mangy
[unreadable IPA pronunciation]
adjective
having mange.
"a mangy cat"
in poor condition; shabby.
comparative adjective: mangier; superlative adjective: mangiest
"a girl in a mangy fur coat"
- I'm not very good at griefing, am I. I'll blow my cover if I'm not careful. Of course, a lot of people feel that having their spelling corrected *is* a form of griefing, even when they asked about it. So I may just be a natural.
Yes! I've seen spelling-correctors being verbally abused as 'Spelling Police' so it's definitely irritating to some people (even those who didn't make the error in the first place). So well done, you indeed display the attributes of a natural born Griefer.
Next test is killing people in the most gruesome ways possible. Rugi's good at that, he'll coach you. Although you might want to build up to that gradually. Try a bit of West rock mining first.
My favourite form of grammar correcting Grief is when an actual grammar corrector makes their own grammatical mistake when correcting
I like to point it out whilst claiming that I myself am useless at grammar thus forestalling any attempt at deflecting said grief back at me due to my unique spelling ability and use of punctuation or lack thereof
join our merry band of GRIEFers. Our furry and feathery recruits nearly outnumber the human(ish) ones again.
This has become a wondrously long and meandering thread with nary a BUMP, except perhaps in ironic GRIEF mode.
I would suggest ignoring most of Corugi's piffle on p1 and dive in at p117 to get a flavour of current, ummm, bloodletting etc., and then work backwards/forwards in true random GRIEFERish style.

HaHa Molly, you will fit right in - you have GRIEFed Corugi by ignoring his piffle (when you have nothing better to do, it is worth reading so you can pour scorn on his efforts).
Just a minor point ....... one does not 'check out' GRIEF.
Solely by posting on this thread you are automatically classed as an unwitting member - May I be the first to offer you a formal GRIEFly Unwelcome.
ps - If you were truly unwelcome, we would just ignore you in a GRIEFish sort of way xx
Eek. You tricked me into this Bernadette. I went straight to page one and learned the hard way that I should start reading threads on page one. Oh well.
