Why isn ’t Kwitshadi a good CW w ord?

[Francisc Czobor]

Very strange this intolerance and extremism, as described below, in such a Civilized Nation like BastEn Ili'i. Such utterings look more appropriate for our nationalist extremists in Balkanic East Europe than for what we here see as the most advanced nation of the world...

The event in question did not occur as described - it
was a matter that came up during the Lu?lu my husband
attended - the one where certain individuals referred
to an elderly gentleman in his presence as if he were
an insect in a collection - suggesting he was senile.

As for "axes to grind" and "agendas" - I would apply
those terms to the individuals who sent me obscenity
laden email when I posted stories to this list that
were written in other than GR grammar and vocabulary.
Having been referred to as a copulating female dog and
called a racist I took the subtle hints and ceased
posting stories here. Our group moderator was
forwarded a copy of the least obscene missive I could
find. One was so hateful as to cause the system
administrator to suggest notifying the FBI; in
retrospect, I wish I had because then what occurred
would be public knowledge to everyone on the list, and
the media as well.
