Kelly, as someone who has no biological children, I am offended by your use of the term "parental". I can be just as annoyingly overbearing and directive as anyone who's actually given birth.

And who says that your children are the final arbiters of all that is Right And True™? Do you think the rest of us don't have a brain? Or that we're blind to what is going on around us? Disgraceful!

How could you possible use "whatever" when speaking of persons? Treating them like mere objects instead of saying "whoever"?

(Aside to Stetson: when I first started hanging out with blind people in number, I felt very uncomfortable when they used "I see" to mean "I understand." Wisely I didn't mention it.)

So you think it is appropriate to use asides on a public board like that? How do you think that makes the rest of us feel? We feel excluded, that's how we feel. Clearly you and Stetson are the in-crowd, but the rest of us can't help not being so in. So, please be so kind as not to have private conversations on a public board, sir!

Look here, pal. The Assumption of Mary is a most wonderful and blessed feast in which we celebrate the passing of our Dear Lord's mother bodily into heaven. It is a very sombre and reverential day. So for you to casually call out 'assumptions' and suggest that any one of us takes them less than seriously is really quite horribly offensive.

You patronizing so-and-so! Who made you god to decide which courier service and taxation jurisdiction to use for the replacement of your desk? Huh? Perhaps FedEx is a better choice than UPS. Maybe USPS beats them both! How do you know? Not only would inquiring minds like to be enlightened about how you got to your conclusion, they demand to see justification for your assumed ability to make such a judgement in the first place.

I have an enquiring mind and I don't give a monkey's about Fedex or whoever. I want to know about the desk. Where's the proof it was damaged? Is it really worth what's being claimed or is it actually a cheapo self-assembly job from Argos? What about contributory negligence in failing to cover the desk with a bile-protector? These are the things that exercise an enquiring mind.

I am offended that you make assumptions about the direction of my enquiries.

What's this about proof it was damaged? Don't try to deny that your reference to proof is a sly secularist dig at supposedly benighted religious believers. We can tell.

Well! Talk about paranoid!

For your information Daffy religious believers don't have to accept whatever they're told. Being gormless and gullible does not make you a better person.

Excuse me - I have to tell you that followers of the great Daffy do, in fact, have to accept exactly what we're told and I take great exception to your use of words such as gormless and gullible in this context. Daffy is a duck - in fact He is The Duck - and the mention of any kind of gull in the same sentence is... oh damn

- now look what you made me do.
