The discussion revolves around the perception of incoherent or irrelevant posts in online forums, particularly in the context of users potentially being under the influence of alcohol or experiencing language barriers. Participants express frustration over replies that seem disconnected from the original questions, suggesting that some members may intentionally misunderstand others for amusement. There are humorous exchanges about the possibility of users posting while drunk, with some sharing personal anecdotes about their own drinking experiences and the quality of their posts. Additionally, the conversation touches on the challenges faced by non-native English speakers and individuals with mental health issues or brain trauma, which can contribute to unclear communication. The overall tone is light-hearted, with a mix of humor and camaraderie among users discussing the quirks of online interactions.

I never said I don't drink. I just don't see much point in getting wasted, so I rarely do.

Also, if I am going to drink heavily, it isn't going to be wine. The best stuff for that is high-quality vodka, hands down. No matter how much of that I drink, I've never gotten sick and never gotten a hangover. Wine is to enhance meals and for breakfast when there is no food around.

Good idea. But well I hope people wouldn't pretend to be drunk and then say whatever they want! :rolleyes:

I suggested some, but I think they got buried because they came up in another thread in feedback (was it the guru thread?). One was the groaning smiley, and the other was a puppy dog eyes smiley that HRW requested. I also thought we should switch the blue "cool" smiley that's in the post icons with the orange one that looks like a sunburnt Russ instead of cool. :biggrin:

We have posted on other threads a definite need for a 'tongue-in-cheek' or sarcasm smiley.
