I will lecture you about your offensive and rude behavior here. Your posts are not appreciated and if you continue in this vein, we will send you to a forum that accepts this kind of behavior.

You have now been warned by two mods independently. And a word to the wise. Do not mess with a mod. You will come out on the short end of any argument every time.

The beauty of an internet forum is... if you dont like something you can ignore it.. that is if you have real life friends i guess. Just calm down and get a grip. I would hate to see you get angry about something that actually means something

\And more, if you ignore, properly, you conquer, after assessment; closest thing to judgment (which is unobtainable, but don't get me there. . .)



Though, all contribute to amassed assessment, and even then shall we be grateful to the dis of disregarded or disappro or what ever dis. . .

OF humanity comes such benefit, thank you internet, for digitizing the effect for sharing

Actually, "Mirabile dictu" means "marvelous/wonderful to relate."

"Mirabile visu" is "marvelous/wonderful to behold."

I remembered that from Virgil, because I recalled he employed a similar but opposite term, "Miserabile visu" or "terrible/piteous to behold" in The Aeneid.

I thank you for your warning and want to make it clear that I don't wish to offend any one indivudually or indeed be removed from this forum. I enjoy TRF for many reasons and I would like to think that freedom of speech is welcomed (so long as it is not offensive).

I don't think my posts were offensive to anyone in particular. My point was that I find these kind of posts to be showboating and irrelevant to a watch forum. After my posts I have recieved some offensive PMs from members here. I have been attacked on the thread with suggestions of having no friends etc which is downright childish.

As I said, I really don't want to get into offending anyone so this will be my last post on this matter. Just let me add that I think your comments Rock were unprofessional and bully tactics. What you are basically saying is that anyone who disagrees with a mod will lose and ultimately be removed from the forum. I know I'm not the only one here who finds this type of behaviour from mods here all too frequent, so please try to calm down yourselves and take other people's opinions into consideration before judging them.

My sincere apologies to any person I have offended.

Regards

John
