That was meaner than I want to be.

Mentioning plutarch by name is mean??? Well, strike me down for being a meany. We've got overlords? I'm sure that you ask this with irony, Faldage; and that's the way I used it too. (I can't believe the overlords let certain individuals run roughshod through these forums.) I'm not sure that it did the first time your read it... Huh?!? I'm not one to do stealth edits, although I know y'all are used to that sort of thing here.

I'm not one to do stealth edits, although I know y'all are used to that sort of thing here. No, though I am quite new here, I was taken aback in another thread when plutarch edited one of his screeds after I had posted a response, and the purpose of the edit appeared to have been to make me look a fool. The sheer dishonesty of editing a post without including a caveat speaks ill of that person, and I will no longer post to a thread on which he has posted. Nor will I read a thread which he has originated. I seem to be in very good company on that, judging from all the threads in which plutarch is talking to himself only. At first I wondered why so many people appeared to be reading those threads, and then I realized that it must be plutarch himself who keeps reopening the threads to up his "click count", about which he has made at least two boasts in recent days. It would not surprise me to learn that he suffers from terminal callus of the clicking finger. Actually, in thinking about it, I question whether I shall continue to participate here. There is great potential, but plutarch's evils have poisoned this venue perhaps beyond resuscitation.

Maybe it would be a good idea if you would repeat your post in one of the forums he/they do(es) read. Don't go away (edit: as so many others have done), just because of one troll. Or at least, stay in touch with me, please!

I'm in agreement with you, CPat. I'm leaving before I ever really got started.

Make it clear, Plutarch is a disruptive influence and treats every one (not simple the "cabal of carpel's") rudely. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 1 of 4 1 2 3 4 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
