Does it really matter what anybody thinks he said?
I think a "no talking in heaven " rule would have been one of the least ridiculous things he has said here.

I`m quite positive you`ll disagree with me though. And quick.

Forgive my French... ridiculiser. I tend to borrow words from my native language and smuggle them into english with a slight orthographic difference.

French or English, I still like it... (and English is a most accommodating language)

Fenton... I am always careful to not attribute to anyone thoughts they may have not expressed. Your opinion of anyone is your opinion. You can feed on any negative notions as much as you want and need. However I think it is only fair to restrain from quoting someone in their absence , quote which may result in leading other individuals to think negatively of that person... especialy when the quote is presented as an attribution of thoughts to the person which that person may not have expressed.
I do care about how any participant is described in his absence especialy when it can lead others to negative thinking. I think it is a matter of being simply fair.
I rest my case.

I didn`t qoute Radorth. Not only that but I put this thingy

right after my comment.

I think most people know a joke when they see one. You happen to be one of the few who don`t.

Btw,
I`m glad to see ebonics is still in the lead.

Sabine Grant · 02-08-2003, 03:14 PM

All that time I was fooled in believing that

indicated a joke or friendly wink sort of like... " you know I do not really mean what I said". The

" big grin" did not quite illustrate to me the intention that " you know I do not really mean what I said".

For some reason a grin does not have the positive and engaging effect a wink has. But it is only my perception... of course.

And you did quote Rad as having been the reason for putting " no talking rules" in your pole when Amie asked.

About ebonics... will it apply to the native Africans from my beloved native continent?

Mad Kally · 02-08-2003, 03:18 PM

OK, who are the other clowns who voted for Ebonics? At least I have the excuse of living in L.A.

Hey, I honestly thought rediculize was a real George W. word. Kind of like Blesserize.

I really meant to write " to ridicule"... I just checked the definition in the American Heritage Dictionary.
" words or actions intended to evoke contemptuous laughter at or feelings toward a person or thing".

I guess now everyone can understand what I meant.....
