Paula

Allow me to apologize.

My previous post was not directed at you it was merely rhetorical - who is it who decides what is right and wrong? Each person has their own set of Values and Attitudes which decide how they react to any particular post (My previous post on this thread being a case in point) and the meaning that the reader takes in is not nescessarily the meaning intended.

Once again my humble apologies for making you feel that you had to apologise.

paula,
great topic!

it is invaluable that we have open discussion here.so people get more passionate or blunt or whatever,its more lively and interesting,i think.but enough rhetoric,and dry sarcasm,will infuriate some people.so maybe more sensitivity is called for,i dont know.because it usualy ends up in hurt feelings,or defensive name calling,and similar tacticts.

i might have instigated some of these things myself,so i feel the thing.

but if the opinions of all can be respected,and debated in civilized manner,then we all end up winning,i think,because we get to see outside our own veiwpoint.thats why i love this forum.

salut

This is a great thread. I feel a freedom and lightness that I do not find on other stupid threads where some really stupid people write loads of old codswallop. Thank you Paula for allowing us the chance to be the normal, pleasant, kindly human beings that we are and not like those idiots on all of the other threads. I always say that the 2 things I like most are open minded international discussions and xenophobia. And remember, one of these days we may all be that happy 'medium'. If you understood, knock twice for yes. If you didn't understand, then my tablets aren't as good as they make feel I am.

You're not taking the ones I already gave you.......now SWALLOW!!!
Don't expect the bluejays to come to your aid, either. They're all down in the infirmary.

The bluejays are now all living and running around in Toronto and they escaped without you noticing.

No.....they didn't escape. It's you up to your tricks again. You will now be set upon assignment to go, accompanied in the wagon, though not in duty, to gather each and every one from out Toronto. You will stay there till each one is swallowed safely back to the grounds from whence they came. You will then, forthwith, be round-robin'd to ponder all that you have mucked and mired through your care-less acts of tomfoolery.

Bearing in mind posts on other threads I need to ask:

No.....they didn't escape. It's you up to your tricks again. You will now be set upon assignment to go, accompanied in the wagon, though not in duty, to gather each and every one from out Toronto. You will stay there till each one is swallowed safely back to the grounds from whence they came.

Is that tom-cat-foolery?

What happened to the new section we were going to have,,,the people who wish to do this can do it there and slag off to their hearts content

I guess we've taken the liberty of latitude with the Bickering and Bullying thread, eh Smile? Tom-cat[

wish I'd thoughta that, JTS

]-foolery seems quite apropos in this region, actually.

I should invite you into some tom-d-stillery

to serve you the right kind of drinks to keep on with this. Would be quite apropos a region for tom-cat-foolery...

lizzytysh · Post by **lizzytysh** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 5:51 pm

Had to correct my misspelling there, on apropos, tom.d. ~ thanks for the correct one. Irony on your entry is that I tried to figure a way for you, in on that, given your name.....can't believe I missed JTS's option....however, drinks all around on Ms. Cat.

tom.d.stiller · Post by **tom.d.stiller** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 6:46 pm

It is a happy medium, I vote, smile.

lizzytysh - thanks for the invitation.

I suggest we really plan for the drinks. Let all my guests come in! What "inn-team-mate" discussions we could have on cats then, all of us!
