No doubt your playground insults will recommence very soon.
I might not measure up to his standards, though.

and is that a bad thing?
Sorry, I will defer to your superior knowledge [of Frank] on this one
but I still don't see how joining in with thread by insulting people and continuing with this behaviour despite the fact that nothing worse than Pops - [Dork] has been coming back - makes anybody worth knowing...
PS got your message, Snood, but can't reply coz I am new here...agree it is strange, tho...
Embarrass Frank? Shameless Frank?
Franks faith would humble the most pious monk. So would his gift for mantra.
I can't even read Frank's post anymore as they seem to contain nothing but insults to one or another members of this site and very little else.
Having said that I want to include this thought and it is that ignorance breeds cruelty.
I'm not as clever as some of the posters on this thread but I did do a lit degree a few years back and it is true that when you have explore novels relative to a whole continent like Africa you can't help getting a strong impression of the effects of "belief" and ignorance and how it impacts on people's behaviour.
For example, when twins were born in tribal [pre-Colonisation] Africa, they used to take them out to the woods and abandon the new-borns to die of starvation or exposure because anything out of the ordinary was regarded as a threat to them and [so they worked it out] becuase it wasn't "normal" it must be destroyed.
The invasion of Science and Christianity into Africa stopped this sort of thing [hopefully, anyway] so do we agree that sometimes belief for its own sake is not necessarily a good thing.
However, belief that doesn't go around criticising others and rather helps somebody to believe that a loved one is waiting to be reunited with them beyond the grave is quite nice, don't you think?
Oh, and for Frank I have one word:
Dork
Self-ruled I think you have the patience of a saint.

Joe...
...you remind me of one of those folks who buy a house near the end of the runway of an airport because they can get that house cheaper than one nowhere near the airport...
...and then write letters to the editor complaining about airplane noise.
Go back to your knitting...or whatever else it is you do when you are not intruding into areas too boorish for your delicate sensibilities...and leave the knock and drag to people with the stomach for it.
Or...continue to write your letters to the editor.
We need the laughs.
