Curtis,

This old, angry Irish curmudgeon – fliterman – is (fortunately for many) somewhat speechless tonight… and far more mellow. (fortunately for me.)

I appreciate your thought/word/smile and I reciprocate : sincerely.

So flit,

It would appear that my Latin is much better than my French. I’ve been waiting breathlessly all day for your apology! But no apology. MSM got your fingers?

And Lex, I was very careful to observe the proprieties and ‘asked’ if we could vote them off the island. I wouldn’t presume to insist or demand any such thing. T’isn’t my place now is it?

I can mangle 7 languages and keep silent in 185 of them!

OP, clearly you’re wounded, but if you can lift the victim’s mantle high enough, take a moment’s time to look up what ad hominem means. (Hint: it doesn’t mean disagreeing with you, or belittling your chosen tactics of obfuscation, motive questioning and/or subject-changing.)

Toodles.
