'I' should only be used as an object of the verb, in such cases as :

'I' went to the store, or 'I' had my tires checked, or, Capt. Pork and 'I' had a disagreement, or 'I' was ostracized from the AH BBS.

In cases when you're dealing with the subject of the verb, the pronoun of choice should always be 'me'. For example:

People pissed ME off, people don't like ME, or, the BBS has taken a decided dislike to Straffo and ME(many would like to use 'I' in that last one, but just take straffo out of the sentence and see how it sounds).

Unless you're implying the verb 'am' at the end of the quoted sentance, but even then it's a bit awkward.

It's a common missusage made in English in what I believe is an intellectually-motivated overcompensation for the more common, more pedestrian mistake of using ME as the subject, as in: Habu and ME never actually exchanged any words in anger.

Which, btw, is true, Habu. Even in my subsequent 'So ends the most powerful thread ever' thread, I never once put you down or said anything bad about you specifically.

Thank for that grammer tip. I will go and edit the original post so your post will not make sense any more. Of course since you are on my ignore list I never read it anyway.

You know now that I have made this great Ignore List and have been sure to publish it to let you all know that you are on it I must admit that I am feeling very pompous and full of myself.

How superior I am to all you unworthy people whom I now ignore.

Read my posts and know that I will never read yours. Hehe I am feeling absolutely giddy.

Why is it so quiet in here?
