(If you're thinking that the Kebreni would make much heavier use of the benefactive and antibenefactive than the sample sentences indicate, you're quite right. It's a way to add an emotional tinge to almost any sentence. If Eddy spoke Kebreni, every sentence would be in the antibenefactive.)

There is a rule that drama and business from other communities doesn't belong here, however. Let alone in a thread about something else! So please take it elsewhere if you have to talk about that sort of stuff. Thanks.

I don't know but out of context this sounds hilarious.
If I stop posting out of the blue it probably is because my computer and the board won't cooperate and let me log in.!

The white text is literally unreadable. You cannot see it through any means, short of opening the original file in Microsoft Publisher. And I deleted that.
Darkgamma's right... it's literally not there in that case. Your printer doesn't have white ink in it.
Chagen wrote:......Well shit.

Guess that's taken care of. Is white colored font a different color than printer paper so you can't hide messages in it?

Turn your mind on a bit, won't you:

Odd that it didn't have white ink, though. It was a full color printer (it was a school printer, not my own).

You Schweinkopf, it would be invisible.
You retard.

Did you just call me a "pighead"?

Also, you just said that the printer would have no white ink in it. Now you're saying that the ink would be invisible. Which implies that it does have white ink. Make up your mind.

Yes, Schweinkopf.
White ink would be invisible on white paper. That doesn't imply anything.

Look, printers have four colours, which, when combined, give its gamut. The colours are CMYK - Cyan Mangeta Yellow Key/Black - when there is 0% of any of those, you get white, which is equal to absence of ink.
If a retard company actually included white ink, it'd be invisible except on coloured paper.

Do it where we can't see you, please. You have a grudge against him and that's between you and him, it shouldn't be splashing itself all over every thread on the ZBB.

But are you old enough to realize that I didn't imply that you did anything of the sort? I posted to you to say to take your fight with Chagen "outside" instead of splashing it about all over the place.

Uh, that implies I fight with him here.
I might be hard on words, and whatnot, but I didn't instigate the discussion in the quote thread.

Marion Blancard wrote:The thing is, though, that just as mixing together equal amounts of magenta yellow and cyan doesn't produce a perfect black or grey, neither does mixing together 0% of each produce a perfect white - thus the need for white ink. You can fake it with 0% black, but a keen eye can still tell the difference.

:| Of course it implies you fight with him on the ZBB. You do. I don't care what you instigated or what you didn't, I was telling you to act like the more grown-up of the pair of you and either a) foe him so you can't see his posts, or b) simply ignore his posts and resist the temptation to respond.
