I'm sorry, Keiva. Did you say 145 times including misspellings, abbreviations; references before the name was coined, etc.?
I must have misunderstood. Surely you meant not including. I hope you didn't spend all the time necessary to find and count all the misspellings, abbreviations; references before the name was coined, etc. Did you make separate counts for the period before and the period after this unpleasantness began?

a ways back, for you flat liners like me, Faldage responded to post of kieva's.. supposedly about general nastiness, and changes made to posts.. (kieva's post is even further back!)Look for Faldage's post by the subject title --unchanged.
(RE:The statement about these posts being toned down versions of the original merely taints the evidence with no way to verify for anyone who did not copy and save the originals
I invite anyone to look at that entire thread and decide if it shows a general tendency on the part of anyone towards nastiness.
kieva supplied the links, and he mention my name in the post with the links and mentions editing.
what i edited out was the word F***ed. i suggested the person who posted a commercial ad was like a rapist, who then came back, and asked us," well how do you want to be ******?"-- as if offers us a choise of how she should abuse us, was not abuse.
the line was crude. i didn't change the tenor of my post. i do and did feel golibear used AWAD Talk for an ad--which i thought to be rude, and spam. she did it at the very time, Anu, in his AWAD mailings (not the WAD, but the newsletter) was asking for sponsers. The newsletter does have some very low key ads, paid for by sponsers. (most recently one for a Nanny service as i recall)
so i didn't edit out anything signicant, just something crude. if you read the whole thread, and think i was nasty, so be it. but, as faldage points out, i didn't get harsh until golibear came back and suggested we tell her how to use AWAD talk to place her free ads--
But please, do read the whole thread.. my post are pretty far down the line.. it took quite a bit to provoke me. and to suggest, i made a major edit, is wrong.

Helen, no one suggested that you made a major edit of content: you quite properly adhered to your position. And you quite properly toned down language that you yourself agreed, upon reflection, was excessive. Good on you on both counts. Post-edit after LIU, to be specific on the compliment: Helen, you were mature enough to correct yourself when you concluded that you'd gone over the line (after all, nobody's perfect). And belM, I see that you did the same the next day, in the same thread, so the same compliment goes to you. Good on both you ladies. Faldage, I'd commend this as an example of how rudeness does indeed occur but can be well handled. http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=43881 (Helen on 10/18 at 18:49; belM the next day)

I hope I'm not interrupting anything, I just wanted to ask Whitman a question...
Whit-O, who and what is "Your Happy Epeolatrist!"

O Great Sanctimonious
W'ON, per bartleby "sanctimony" means "hypocrital piety"; that is, acting contrary to one's professed principles.
I trust you can supply a cite to a pair of my posts -- one professing a principle, and one which you believe I am acting in conflict with that principle? (Either here or by PM will be fine.)

bel, we are each of us imperfect, and there are times when each of us will act unkindly -- your strong post some time ago to shoshannah, for example. Could it be that you have perhaps overreacted here?
Such vehemence, in the past, drove shoshannah away from this board.

Re: around the world
Cap - hi and thanks for the welcome! I'm not really able to spend much time on this boad or anywhere on the net these days as my job with the Jerusalem Foundation keeps me very very busy! But this is an important time here and everywhere, so I took a peek at what folks were saying... which prompted my posting on this thread.
---------
and then there was the sad episode of your casting about to identify the "spammer", which culminated in your suggestion that it was Elizabeth, based on your shrewd discovery of her initials [E.A] appearing in one of the offending posts.
----
you've been quick to cry foul and quick to accuse ever since you arrived and discovered you couldn't be in control.

Whit-O, who and what is "Your Happy Epeolatrist!"Sure, Milo...be glad to. I was hopin' someone would ask. Dr. Bill discovered an obscure word that every linguaphile should know: epeolatry: the worship of words There are only two citations listed on the entire web for it at OneLook... Forthright's, and our very own tswum's Worthless Word for the Day! So, a worshipper of words is an epeolatrist. And "Happy Epeolatrist" just popped out, I liked the way the words flowed together and rolled off the tongue...so there you are. And I decided to use it as my first-ever signature to help remind me of the true energy of AWAD...levity, words, and intellect (not necessarily in that order). Your Happy Epeolatrist!
