Hi
Goodness we woke up Sandy. Tom is a fool and acts like one. I happened to
see him on Oprah. He does not love this lady. I bet this is a typical
Hollywood
wedding a year or two. Tom is One of the boys I believe. No one will take
away the magic of Duncan and Amanda on top of the Eiffel Tower. Once Tom's
movie is over and he has half of this poor girl's money in his so called
church
he will dump her. Please no flames I had to deal with an old famous troll
tonight on other list

I've been getting a kick out of the commercial about the Eiffel
Tower, where it shows time-lapse photography and then shows it lit up
and refers to the horrendous electric bill. I kept waiting for it to
go out.

Yeah, but white Gillian has perpetual grace and keeps her cool amidst fannish
discussion on the lists, Donna often explodes into irrational attack mode and
tries to savage someone who she perceives has offended her...much like
someone on this list, only on an *intermittant* basis.

wanted to put the oldest, most powerful, most beloved Immie there.

It was only a matter of time....
Leah--
> Donna often explodes into irrational attack mode and

NOW cue up John's self-righteous defense--
>>>Y'know, as most people on the Alt.tv.highlander group can testify, Donna
>>>and
I have had our somewhat loud and passionate disagreements. But I like and
respect Donna and it's interesting to note that she says exactly what she
thinks (whether others agree with the opinion or not), doesn't censor
herself to fit the general consensus if she doesn't think it's right and
doesn't call a spade a digging implement for the sake of political
correctness.
In short, when she's with fans, she acts like a fan - only one who was also
heavily involved with the show itself and can sometimes give a definitive
word on what a certain event/process involved rather than speculating.
It doesn't make her right *all* the time and it's fine and dandy to diagree
with her and let her know it, but I'm not sure one can criticise her too
much for attitude when she's simply acting like one of us.>>>
Leah again--

Ah, Nina.
I've got to know... is it possible for you to go a few posts without
throwing in personal insults into your debating strategy, or is the need to
be provocative just pathological?
Actually I don't have to know, but I'm sure others are wondering.

Opps. okay it wasn't Gillian, it was Donna and her highlander book, the
point is the Powers to Be messed up by not listening to these ladies. . . .The
book is when Duncan was protecting a woman Arab peace representative from and
Immortal and old friend
of his who died in the Masada fortress. I think Constantine was the Roman
General who over saw the attacked
Surly , you all have similar stories of highlander movies and episodes
never made to film?
What were those stories? One *Donna* story, that never made it to
production, I think, was about the oldest moat powerful Immie located right here in
the Heart land of America.
The anim thing is something TPTB pulled from old scripts from YEARS ago
(Highlander: The series season 2 or 3 or so). Why not pull non production
scripts with better stories?
Wendy, What will you be dressing up this year in the SCA big event? I have
a supply of whips, and other tools if you choice to do the Inquisitor, (just
having some fun here) DO I hear the rocky chairs rockin' with more rhythm at
a faster rate?

1) There's been little worth debating here in ages, in large part due to
TPTB's insistance on diluting all things HL down to aimless froth. Can't
debate froth.
2) I'll cheerfully admit to the odd barb, but the personal insults haven't
come from me. (Don't get the difference? Calling someone you don't agree
w/ "pathological" is a good example of throwing personal insults into one's
debating strategy. Immediately below is a barb.)

Well, if you insist on talking to yourself, don't whine about the
consequences. (You DO leave yourself wide open for these, you know.)
Hmmm. A Highlander reference is needed. OK--yet another fall TV season
looms w/ quite a few interesting-looking shows including several genre-type
ones thanks to Lost's success, but w/ AP signed up for nothing. Does he
even audition for these things?
Nina (random parentheticals are rather a tradition here) (personally, I
find them less annoying than sig lines trying to sell stuff) (generally
stuff ripping off one genre franchise or the other) (if you don't like my

Nina,
If I was being personally insulting I would have scrawled something along
the lines of 'seems to have the debating skills of a scorpion and the wit of
a dead sheep' but I wasn't trying to be nasty.
Heck, I only asked if the need to insert insults/barbs/however you want to
define cheap shots used like punctuation, was something you enjoyed doing
or couldn't help yourself from doing (For future reference,...
Pathological:Of, relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual,
maladaptive, and compulsive: ie: a pathological liar)
Feel free to hurl back another barb whenever you feel like it. In the
meantime I'll be discussing Highlander (good and bad), promoting the
ocassional personally-created product that people might like to be aware of
but aren't forced to buy... and waiting with bated breath, like everyone
else here, for the next thrilling put-down from the sand-pit.

I'd worry more about what she's got EDM doing to the poor camels in there.

Somewhere in there, there's a joke about not trusting Methos as far as you
can throw him, but I guess that topic got covered a while back.

Hopefully you hear the sound of Cobra gunships approaching.
Let me reiterate John's question - Is English your first language? If
not, we will all cut you a wide bit of slack. If it is, I repeat my
