This is because I kicked you, isn't it?

Well, welcome and let's see what you can do. I would take Ki's advice seriously though and try to improve your English. People may read your journal initially for novelty/fun value but if (if) you want to be taken seriously we have to be able to understand what you're saying.

Still, a brave move and I applaud it...

That's one small step for Journaltown, one giant leap for Norg...

It's not "netiquette" to to comment on people's grammar/language skills or the typographical errors they make. I don't see you making comments on Trollheart's caption (see quote above). He has "This is because I kicked you, isn't it?" but then he has a picture of Homer pushing a turtle. I mean like unless Trollheart was mistakenly thinking Homer's hand was a foot, I guess then the caption doesn't match.

I read NoЯg's writings just fine (most of the time). He's pithy, and like Polonius said "brevity is the soul of wit."

Yeah. If you knew the episode you'd get it.
I couldn't find the actual picture, but Homer kicks the turtle because it's slow, then leads him to a huge mountain he has to climb and he looks at the turtle and says the above, and it nods.
I don't expect to have to explain everything with puppets and diagrams, but that's what it means for those who were unfamiliar with our favourite cartoon family.
The reason I did that, is that I'm saying that Norg began his journal because I slagged him off by choosing him for "Post of the Week" in the Update Thread. It was a joke. Remember those?

And let's be honest: clear, concise English is requested in the rules. Norg doesn't even make an effort to be understandable: it's like he invented his own language, so Ki has a perfect right to challenge him on it. He's not the only one who has done so. You may find his comments "pithy", I find them incomprehensible, littered with spelling mistakes and often self-contradictory.

To use the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit" does not fit here; it's not that he's being brief --- Urban and Batty can make great points in a few words --- he's in fact rambling on and not often making sense. That's not brevity, that's laziness.
