Ya know, I have been trying to read through I & A for the last two hours. I came across a thread that Geoff started by the title "Conviviality" where he was celebrating a weekend on the board without strife and it was all about words and sharing. I had tears in my eyes, but I refused to spoil that thread by pointing out that those of us attending WaPaloo [from Wordapalosa, which is in turn from Lolapalosa, sorry Dr. Bill, no appaloosas] have mostly been gone from Thursday June 20th to let's just say Monday June 24, while Keiva was only away Saturday and Sunday, I believe. Imagine his consternation that the restaurant in Lansing had no tableside internet connection! Horrors! Anyway, my point is that Geoff underlined that those of us at WaPaloo were gone from the board but failed to indicate that Keiva might have been the more important absence, thus my tears.

but i think of the flower, and they are so sweet.. i was think along other lines

Keiva is:
caustic
acrimonious
irascible
trenchant
corrosive
destructive

I mean this is a place for words, isn't it?

Dear Dr. Bill,

Wordwind, the lamb, is now in a deep, tranquillizer-induced sleep.

But before she drifted off, she mumbled, through her soft chortles, "Tell wwh that monomaniacal is misspelled in his post, and tell him I love him when he's being so chaaaaaattttty!"

And with a final guffaw, out she went like a light--I must say a very light--bulb.

Bedlam regards,
WW's Nursie

Dear of troy: let us try to be accurate. Your first four terms really do not fit.
detestable, pestilential, cacoethetic, pusillanimous......

Dear WW: monomaniacal seems a permissible coinage.

or maybe,
an aper
a copy-cat
an imitator
a mimic
a travesty
a mocker
and most certainly,
incapable of original thought.

Dear of troy: Forgive me, but I think your latest inventory of Keiva's faults is quite
inaccurate, and not to the point. I could forgive him if he had merely those faults,
but not the much more serious fault of using extortion to gain his re-instatement.

Dear of troy: A complete inventory is nugatory. His use of extortion
to gain re-instatement is the only thing that matters. And it
suffices to make him totally unwelcome here.
