    Re: Sharp Axes

    I've used Google Bard to write my resignation letter for when I retire and I was happy with the job it done.
    The only thing is I will have to dumb it down a bit because it made me sound smart.

      This has turned into a computer nerds thread about writing speeches.
      Can we change the original name from sharp axes to computer nerds read here ?

        Well the axe is blunt as a butter knife, it's a moot thread now.

          Can assure you that's not my way. I do however believe KWW is unfairly targeted. As I said in an earlier post I think she needs to send a message on behalf of the club.
          It shouldnt read that way so my error.
          I do sense that we have supporters that defend the clubs every decision no matter what but you dont strike me as being like that.

            Ha all good I was ok with it J to the asper. Your point is valid. We need to think critically.
            When do we think is too late for a message from the Pres/club?
            I would hope it's this week.

              I think it should’ve been by now. So I’m thinking that maybe the message isn’t settled yet. That I could understand, but then the mind wonders… what is going on such the message isn’t settled yet?

                I didn't really read, just skimped as I thought it was strange, however, I saw the signature and did believe it. However I still maintain we shouldn't be publishing a false letter from the President on the internet and GVGjr should investigate whether any law is broken and delete.

                  I’ve investigated it. There’s no law broken whatsoever. Free of charge.

                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                          In this context, yes. Do you really want me to spend 30 minutes detailing how this isn’t criminal in this context?

                          You might think it’s wrong or in poor taste. I’m not debating that. But it’s certainly not criminal activity. To save me the time, ring police headquarters who get paid to explain this. Report this alleged crime to them and they will explain how this might be a lot of things, but not criminal. I understand you don’t like it, and I didn’t want to spend 30 mins back and forth with GG on it yesterday. But AP and this site has not committed any criminal offence.

                            Just asking a simple question as I am surprised. That is all.

                              Also. Can I importantly state. It was never intended to be passed off as legitmate. It was satire from the beginning. As soon as there was anyone actually remotely believing it was legitmate. I clarified that in a heartbeat. Literally within in minutes. There was an entire lead up of posts that we had not heard from KWW. Then this fake email is immediately posted. I thought it was clear that it wasn't legimate from the way it was written. A good re-read will show that it is clearly tongue in cheek.

                              Intent is important. It was clearly just a joke. There was never any intent to pass it off as something that KWW actually wrote.

                                Relax. It’s just a post on the internet that has not harmed anyone. You wound us all up for a little while, but that’s the extent of it. We move on and await KWW to say something at some point.
