But she is such a lovely sweet and knowledgeable person who wears her
heart on her sleeve and smiles sweetly in the face of adversity, which
say without a trace of bathos.

Undoubtedly. And of course being the accomplished athlete that she is
gives
her that much more credibility.

Don't forget she is also a participant in disabled for the aged
triathlons, although it's gone very quiet on that front lately. ;o)

Not only is she a participant, you neglected to mention that she has proven
to be an outstanding competitor finishing mid pack and well in front in the
"aged amputee" category.

I really DO speak like this. I used "bathetic" in
a sentence out loud at a party this afternoon.

Hmm. (Googles)

Why would you use bathetic when schmaltzy or hokey work just as well?!
I won't tell you why and you won't figure it out. That's life.

Because I was using it in a connotation of false sympathy. "Ohh, you
poor dear, did the Bruins lose again?" Pretending emotional devastation
= bathetic.

The other people in the room knew what I was talking about.

And that's my lesson to you for the day.

You think that question was humorous?

Yes.

Well, reasonable people can differ on what constitutes humor.

(BTW, Oz, being an Aussie,

No [censored].

So you'd agree, then, that's it's a parody. We just differ on whether
it's a bad, fake, stupid parody or a funny, insightful parody. Fine.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Are you trying to say you don't know "ersatz"?

Why would you think it necessary to put that word in quotes?

Because I was referring to a specific word as a noun, rather than using
it properly in a sentence as an adjective. Does this question mean you
not only don't know normal English words, but aren't familiar with
punctuation, either? No wonder you and Queenie kick it up every now and
then. She's a Grammar Weenie, you're... not.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

It's just a word, and the right one for the situation.

I strongly suspect that it's not just a word at all, but an attempt on
your part to sound superior to mask your feelings of inferiority at
being badgered in this newsgroup.

LOL, NOW you're being funny. Right? 'Cuz I'm not entirely sure. You
might really think I'm lording it over you with my fancy words. In
which case, it shows a whole lot more about YOUR sense of inferiority
than MY sense of inferiority. (Because, shhhhh, the secret is, I really
DO speak like this. I used "bathetic" in a sentence out loud at a party
this afternoon.)

Quoted message said:

Please. Go back and reread the part about idiots who fail to think
things through and speak in error.

Why?

By the way, I'm sorry this seems so adversarial. You were on my case
about something the other day and I really don't have any particular
problem with you other than your affinity for feeding trolls. I meant
to try to be nicer to you... the opportunity just hasn't arisen.

Try to remember the old adage:

Arguing on usenet is like running in the Special Olympics - even if you win,
you're still retarded.

That's good Om. If you don't humour her she gets apoplectic (in a bathetic

Actually, unlike the rest of you, I don't have a problem with Dally...

I look at it this way. I don't always agree with her views, (I don't
always agree with people in my life in general) but that does not mean I
can't respect their viewpoints and their right to express them.

You can understand someones opinion without agreeing with it.

That does not give anyone the right to be rude and abusive.

It's bad manners, and mom and dad raised me better than that.

And, usenet is an anarchy.
I'll defend to the death a person's right to EXPRESS their ideas and

I don't, as a general rule, mistreat people I disagree with.
It's just not my lifestyle.
