Adam, just since I know this is parbably coming to you in a "different form", I thought I'd make my intentions and sense of humor clear (for your sake)... as these are the words I used directed at you in my last few posts.

I have a american speaker question for adam, but the queen is looking quite spiffy in her new outfit that I should be paying attention instead of asking the *proverbial unanswerable question. As I'm standing next to my girlfreind (the queen) on a warm summer day... I'm being tempted to distract myself from this conversation, as it holds little (and even less, now) appeal compared to the mini-skirt she is wearing. She was watching me type this.

I understand your concern, adam. It seems as if your inconsistant use/nonuse of contractions suggest you are *pulling our leg* about your inability to use, understand or hear the English language, but, then again, that's not what we speak here, anyway. This is a pretty clear explaination of what *occurred, certainly not an attack.

Adam, it is *statements like this, which show a lack of respect for our intelligence made under the precept of "with all respect", that makes us a little "suspicious". Again, this doesn't refer to anything adam said, but rather a simple description of my perspective, which by this time he/she deserved. (I'll bet it's a "he" )

Hey adam, suspicious is pronounced "sa - spi - shus". Although a bit "tounge-in-cheek, I seemed pretty helpful to me!

I hope this whole thing was helpful for you too, Keiva. It seems like the kind of structure you're familiar with.

I am very sad to see AWADtalk look like a lowbrow
news group, with phonies and tricks, and very
little about words or language, and abuse of
newcomers.

what i did was to point out that keiva lied.
this is what he posted-- watch out, because he'll try to delete it: It speaks well of you that you are one of the few people (I count only two) who routinely has the courage to conduct the "Great Debate" under their regular screen-name. One admires the "courage of one's convictions", even if one disagrees with the convictions or tactics themselves.

You are one who has had that courage.
I am the other.˛
(there followed a list of names, in white)


but I pointed out, the person known as Keiva has also been know, for certain, to post under the names AphonicRants and KeivaCarpal. He used the first of these name before he was banned, for flaming/flame wars.
he forced his way back into this forum by making implied threats to Anu Garg, the founder of AWAD.

Now, in one of his classic twists of the facts, he accuses me of being threatening. I guess, i am if you are threatened by the truth.

see http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=73229. There you go again, of-troy. Interrupting thread after thread with the same old complaint; not letting anyone discusss anything else.

Edit: Of-troy's repetitive post, immediately below, simply proves my point once again.

Cześć wszystkim!
Keiva poprosił mnie, abym napisał coś po polsku.
Zaczynam rozumieć co się tu dzieje. Ten board jest jak wszystkie inne, ludzie tylko się ze sobą kłócą, zamiast porozmawiać, podyskutować na mądzrzejszy temat.
Napisałem 16 czerwca 2002 godz. 10:40.

Hello everybody!
Keiva asked me to write something in Polish.
I beginig to realise what is happening here. This board is like all other ones, people are doing nothing but arguing, why don't you talk normally, disscus on more intelligent topic.
I wrote it 16th june 2002 10:40 am

"I can tolerate anything except intolerance."
(This is from another thread, I believe Fisk quoted it.)


Is this irony? I still have a problem with this concept.
I know there was a thread started a long time ago about this but I do not know how to resurrect a thread so forgive me. I wish we could talk more about irony.
