BranS posted this, dragging us off-topic

Have you noticed at all that your asked for adjective was found?
intermittantly


not that being dragged off-topic is all that unusual hereabouts.

Dear latishya,
in post 8. of this thread (which might be post 7. to you in this case), you replied to my off-track remark to Dale as he happened to step in on b - precious. From there on it hobbled on. Cause and result are not always clearly distinguishable. Not Dale's fault here. On the previous page I have alread pleaded guilty of the fatal side step.
BTW, I have tried to find more words with b, but what tsuwm offered in his answer , post 2. is about all there is.

To me it proves that blocking out people is not practical. We've had confusions because of this before. ( no names named ).
If you don't like the subject, skip the thread, if you don't like the posts of someone, skip the posts . If in the meantime you have blocked me too, you will not read this answer.

which is exactly what the ignore function makes very easy and is why I use it.

And a pretty poor synonym it is, IMNSHO.

No, no lat, it wasn't though it was I who helped maintain it and so if I have seriously violated protocol I apologize profusely for such insufferable odium, however unintended

My how complex the Megillah when we first stray from decorum

Bran I think I love you

guilty as unnamed. for those who haven't tried "ignore this user",
what happens is that that user's posts are still in evidence, with
*** You are ignoring this user ***
Toggle the display of this post

shown in the post field.. so you can toggle (which only affects that post) if your curiosity gets the better of you.

Yeh, well, I think you don't know me. I just don't need no buttons to ignore certain items that are certain people's hobbyhorses.

I'm trying to figure out why not having a synonym that starts with B is so remarkable.

It isn't. Nor is diverting from the original topic a big deal.
Happens nearly al the time.
