Bitcin & back biting in session.

[DaveinGermany]

While at times some of these slanging matches are amusing & raise a wry smile to the non combatant, it does at times over step the mark & becomes personal & insulting. Now if that's what fires your rockets, bully for you ! But for some it becomes tedious & repetitive, inane & childish.

Fell free to call me for this, but it is my perspective on the issue & from various comments others feel likewise. So, I've now given you an arena of your own to have your "Bitchfest", your "Cyber fisticuffs", & your virtual "Step outside & say that!" petty squabbles .............. please use it & leave the other threads for genuine debate/discussion.

I expect at least 30 sides by this time next week.

Let the games commence !

Splendid idea, Dave.....you ass!!!

Splendid idea, Dave.....you ass!!!

Why, kind Sir, you do me great honour with your praises ! Knowing one's lineage is truly, most comforting.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

That doesn't constitute an insult when you are a donkey...it is like calling you by your Sunday name....steve you need to take some lessons....I can give you the name of a few tutors if you are stuck

Now maybe this is the kind of response we all should use when faced with insults...genuine ones I mean...maybe this would just defuse the issue and madden the insulter.
I might be the first to test it out.

Ah, Mother dear, your input as always most enlightening.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

Thankyou son...you are most kind...as well as being rather astute!

 

[DaveinGermany]

a stute!

I wasn't aware you spoke the lingua Krautae, fine praise indeed, although the wrong gender, "Hengst" would be the correct terminology in this instance.

No not a mare.......it should have read astute.....but somehow a space inveigled its way in there. But hey....Hengst would be real praise, would it not?

I only have a smattering of german...most of that, daddy taught me

I've already learned some good insults since I've been on Accy Web but I'm saving 'em for when I really need them....

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, I hope I won't be on the receiving end of them...they sound.....erm, interesting

One must admit, to a certain amount of intercession on my part purely to facilitate the availing of my little international language pun.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

I guessed that...you nawdy boy
Not much bitchin' and back biting here is there?

Sorry this is not an insult - I like this poem by G K Chesterton...

[SIZE=-0]"When fishes flew and forests walked,
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born;

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things;

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me, I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet
There was a shout about my ears
And palms before my feet." [/SIZE]

No, I fear we're not of a suitable disposition at this present time, but I await with temerity the arrival of our, "Grouching Gladiators" our "Cavilling Combatants". Enter the contrarians proper & no doubt fur & feathers will fly.

With our contretemps thus engaged, the rest of us may enjoy ourselves elsewhere upon the forums pages, occasionally peeking in anon to ascertain the level of animosity & verbosity of the invective being used, or whether one or t'other has slunk away to sulk & pout most delinquently.

Dave... which dictionary and whose thesaurus did you have for Sunday dinner?

 

[DaveinGermany]

Sorry this is not an insult - I like this poem by G K Chesterton...

"The Donkey"

The last chapter of the resume should suffice to elicit some thought.

The Donkey And Self-Worth

 

[DaveinGermany]

Dave... which dictionary and whose thesaurus did you have for Sunday dinner?

For starters a light crispy entree of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, the main & as such the meat of the meal, Oxford thesaurus of English & Dessert lightly whipped & fluffy, Oxford English reference Dictionary.

I am not averse to words & as such feast & devour regularly such dainties, for a man without words & the artifice & wherewithal to use them is no man, he that must seek recourse in base insults & belittlement, denigrates but himself.

Failing that, a swift thump along the lughole conveys a plethora of words especially if you hit 'em with a big enough Dictionary !

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

I think you might like the Etymologicon for your next read then.
