Lotus, demonstrating my always ameliorative nature beneath its gold and scarlet, clerical vestments; lo, I did seclude myself in the darkest regions of inner, spiritual somnambulence, where, verily, I did prostrate myself before doG and seek Divine counsel, before referring your popsicle ---- er, ePIStle --- to Saint Smoggins, who replied:
"Who?"
"He who eats of the lotus."
"What, this guy KNOWS somebody?" he said. Said, not asked.
"Verily, he dispenses Forgiveness to the flock, judiciously spreading Wisdom and Compassion throughout the Cyber Kingdom in bytes unknowable, yet uncountable."
"What, he's Grand Klaxon of Kumbaya, been hittin' the Old Altar Boys' Manual?"
"Yea, ten times Yea, he shall be called the Peacemaker."
"There it is, kid. First rule a Intertwixtular Communications is don't get bogged down with no guy buyin' 'is cyberink by the barrel and has thumb calluses from the spacebar."
And so I abjure, the abject penitent, in remorse and humidity, er, huMILity; forever observant of the eternal wisdom summoned rhetorically by Rodney Luther King, "Can't We All Just Get Along?"
TU - you have clearly never met me!! Those who have will fall about laughing to see me described in terms that could be construed angelic.
And RD will possibly tell you I am frequently no dove of peace, conveying olive branches, but rather a storming Valkyrie on
yet another soapbox a mission.
But, I could see no reason for a personal attack which is against the clearly stated rules of this forum, especially when the person being attacked had bailed out of the discussion. With luck Spag will interpret your belles lettres as an apology and continue his graceful silence!
I have far distant bells clamouring gently, reminding me that your writing style is familiar - another forum perhaps? A trollish persona perhaps?
"What, this guy KNOWS somebody?" he said. Said, not asked.
A statement does not require an interrogative.
I ...in ...humidity
Sweat, drool, or worse oozing onto the keyboard - please let it not be in a net bar that I use on my travels!
