Agreed 100 percent. If he was doing the best he could I wouldn’t say a word. But he’s intentionally doing it.

Neither would I, I assure you. It's not about "different people", it's about fraudsters and trolls.

He IS doing the "best he can"!
His is a bit off from the true Cajun dialect, but it is all about the concept.

There's a difference between doing the best you can with the communications skills you have, and deliberately faking an entire "persona" in the name of "performance art" or whatever excuse strikes their fancy in the moment.

There's enough fakers and posers across the internet as it is. We don't need to tolerate that garbage here. It's not cute, funny, entertaining or necessary. And it sure as h#ll doesn't make him "original".

"Oh look, a totally fake person on the internet. How original"... Said no one, ever.

He is who he is though. I find translating his posts annoying so don't do it. Yet I'm starting to find it equally annoying when people go off on a tangent complaining about his writing style. There are certain people who I skip over for various reasons, but try not to comment about it overly much. I will admit that often it's my loss.
I am sure there are also members here who ignore me... that's their privilege.

Sounds like maybe you didn't get a chance to see this thread he started, 2010, before the fakery started:

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/welding/167793-gloves-welding.html?highlight=

And I quote his opening post in the thread, verbatim:

---------------------------

I been looking into this welding thing for a while now, and luckily I have a neighbor Harrison who is quite a welder. He has a torch thing and some kind of arc welder calls a stick machine, and one called a mig machne, and he even has this mig machine he just recently got that runs from a rechargable battery. Now right now Harrison's on vacation visiting his second son's family in Arkansas, but when he gets back he's going to start teaching me welding.

Thing is I want to be prepared, I mean the man is going out of his way to teach me, and using his machines and cornsumables whatever they are, so I figure it's just right for me to be prepared to learn when he goes to teaching me. To that end I went over to the school and tried buying one of the welding books from back when they taught welding, only to learn they won't sell the books even though they no longer use them. I tell you I got a little riled over that, and got a whole lot more riled when not a single one of them school employees was anything near helpful. Good lord they got that dang school set up like a prison now, you gotta know who you want to talk to before the guard at the door will even let you in. How did I know who I wanted to talk to. Took the better part of 2 hours before the guard let me in to go talk to some fellow in the office. No wonder the kids don't learn in thse places.

Well, as I was saying, I want to be prepared, so I'm thinking I need some good welding gloves. Harrison has several pair and from what I've seen, he seems to swithc gloves doing different jobs of welding. I know I probably should have asked before he left, but I didn't so I'm hopeing you fellows know something about gloves and welding here.
Now I also have what could almost be described as a fear of electricity, and most of them welding machines seem to be electric, even the battery driven one. Just always seems to me a ounce of precaution beats the snott out of a visit to the Emergency Room over to the hospital, so I'm wondering if I should get rubber gloves like them linemen fellows wear when they ride them fancy boom trucks. I've talked to a few of them fellows a time or two when the wife's sister worked there, and they say them gloves are good for thousands of volts. Now how many volts does a welder have? Would them rubber gloves be sufficient and would they be a good idea?
Of course them lineman gloves are a bit bulky, and I do have small hands, so they just might be too much if a welder don't have thousands of volts. That being the case might be I could get by with them rubber dishwashing gloves. They'd fit my hands better being that they make em for wimmenfolk hands.

What do you fellows think?
Am I being overly cautious?

There are more. Many more. But you get the point. Look them up yourself, or don't.

I don't quite understand why TBN of 2010 must be compared to today.
The TBN post dates I have been reading recently were from 2020, and 2021.
I consider 2010 TBN info to be ancient history.

Sounds like (removed) is living rent free in a lot of heads around here.

I think the block feature would work better if it blocked a particular person 100%. I blocked someone about a month ago and I just had to take a peek when he posted in a thread I was viewing.

Anyway, this person wasn’t the oaf I thought he was so I unblocked him. Lol

No he’s not. He could write normal 11 years ago and sometimes slips up and writes normal now. I don’t think trolling was his original intent but he’s being quite successful at it.

Funny thing is how many of those complaining about (removed)'s dialect make consistent grammar and diction errors or never complain about others who do. Only (removed) seems to get them worked up. Must be just jealousy.

Wow.....a very appropriate point.
Much of the grammar used on this site would not pass a 3rd grade English exam.
