>I believe Richie is annoying to most folks a lot of the time
I've missed part of this thread (and have no idea what Ru Paul
has to do with it, but I'm not sure that's something I want to
know) so I missed this if it was already asked. Why do you think
`Richie is annoying to most folks'? Is it because you've seen
alot of comments somewhere from large numbers of HL fans saying
so, or do you think they feel that way because you do? Given
your opinion of him, what about the other main, recurring or
repeat characters? Are there any you like or dislike in particular?
Given what you've said about why you don't like Richie I think
some of us are probably curious how that translates to the other
characters.
(Btw, you may want to put a blank line or something between the
text you're commenting on and what you're adding. Makes it alot
easier for people to tell where the old text ends and the new
comments start rather then it all looking like it's part of the
same paragraph. Or does it show up fine for everyone else and
it's just how my mailer deals with Shawn's posts?)

Nope, it's not just you. ;-)

Methos: Oh, look at this. It's an exhibition of Greek antiquities.
Duncan: Oh yeah, can't wait. A 2500-year-old garage sale.
Methos: Listen, some of this stuff could be mine.

I am reminded of (another) troll the list had a while back. LOTS of
similarities in posting style & attitude. As I recall, Debbie banned that
person, but it's simple enough to get a different email addy & try again.
Of course, it _could_ be a coincidence.
> So what about me being secure in my opinions makes you insecure?
People secure in their opinions are willing & able to back them up in
discussion.
I'm trying to remember when "insecure" was listed among my failures. And,
drawing a blank.

Are you having some sort of spasm? Usually, we discuss things in English
here. (Occasionally French, but not lately.)

Well, you haven't posted anything indicating you are up on the show in
general, or even showing that you've watched more than a few episodes. So,
I did wonder.

So, you are a "technology folk"? Well, that's 1 out of 2 for you.
But, that reminds me--you need to look up the difference between "odorous" &
"odious." Also--"waive" & "wave."

So, list rules are childish? Including the ones prohibiting flaming & more
than 5 posts per day? Did you even bother to read the rules when you
joined? Or, don't "technology folks" read these days?

I just wanted to see that again--this list doesn't get enough humor.
Shawn (to Wendy, erroneously)--
>>>You condemn me for defending my intelligence [after an all-out attack by
you, saying I'm not fit to teach anyone anything] >>>
Pay attention. I'm the one who found you unfit for teaching the list much of
anything. It was less an attack than a statement of fact. (Though you DO
seem to frequently mistake the two.)
Unfortunately for you, I'm also a lawyer. Though probably not a "typical
lawyer."
