Shouldn't being forthright and unpretentious be everyone's "personal agenda" on a message board? 😉
And what is YOUR personal agenda for constantly riding his back?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWhen you are confronted with some nonsense you posted in the past, you often pretend to not be able to find it, or you claim not to know exactly what page it was on, or you just ignore the fact that you said it, or you just ignore the fact that you have been confronted on it. Would Spencer Johnson call such evasiveness "integrity" or "honesty", or would he call it something else perhaps? 😉

“Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas.” ~Charles Stewart
Originally quoted by Grampy BobbyThe "habit of always talking about persons"? Goodness me. Name another poster who starts as many threads as you do for the obvious purpose of reprimanding fellow "persons" with long lists of perceived faults and slights. 😉

Originally posted by KewpieI think Charles Stewart, if he were here, would certainly object to his words being used as a fig leaf in that way. 😛

A Poem by Pinocchio's Good Friend Child Anon About Tedium
today i asked my grade one language teacher, Emily Wordsmith,
what the word "tedium" meant. she said: "the state of being tedious".
after thanking her, i asked one more question before morning recess:
Miss Wordsmith, what does "the state of being tedious' mean"?
she said: 'child anon, please giggle its antonyms on the internet'.
here's what i found: "banality; boredom; ennui; deadness; doldrums;
drabness; dreariness; lifelessness; routine; sameness; tediousness;
tiresomeness; yawn; irksomeness; lack of interest; wearisomeness."
i'll tell her what i found during our next language class Monday. the end.

This is no fig leaf, it's a Raffia Palm leaf! 😵
Originally posted by KewpieFair point, but as for the notion that he can refute specific accusations of glaring hypocrisy by simply declaring them tedious is a hackneyed dodge that he's trotted out more times than I can remember. 🙂
