Just a little piece of advice, ewein. Have patience. You are addressing a limited part of the AWAD community and started on a weekend when many people have other things to do than read and post on the computer.

How about three for the price of one?
The first is unforgivable, and for use in meetings - I think its wonderful, but have never disliked someone enough to use it:
"I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public."
The second is good for parties, when alcohol and a laugh will soften it:
"The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist."
The third is a put-down for use by women who are being pestered:
"How many times do I have to flush before you go away?"
But my favourite put-down came from a friend of mine to a smoker on a sardine-can crowded commuter train many years ago:
Friend: "Please would you mind not smoking right under my nose."
Smoker: "This is a smoking compartment, mate."
Friend: "That's a privilege, not a right."
Smoker extinguishes cigarette sheepishly. You had to be there.

This old curmudgeon butts in to say that he thinks choice of forum is a minor consideration. The only thing that is important is that posts be primarily about words and language, and potentially interesting to many partcipants. In case of doubt, put it in Miscellany.
