"Bronwyn ,thoughtfulness:
From your kingdom, do not forget your poor relatives,"

B....y hell, Antonios, someone else on this thread talking to me, or about me, in riddles!

I gather you don't consider I'm thoughtful. That's okay, that's your perogative. But if you're going to even hint at personal attack like that I think some elaboration, and preferably some evidence, is called for.

BTW, my recent posts here to you were taking aim at Banjo (in a light-hearted manner I might add) and not at yourself, just in case that's what's behind your current bitterness towards myself. I know you have problems with some aspects of written English but I've never assumed your comprehension skills were anything other than pretty darned good. Only a few posts back I actually made a point of stating that I usually agree with you, which I didn't have to do. In fact it could be argued that it was my 'thoughtfulness' that made me do that.

If you were suggesting to Fractelle that you too are thoughtful, then I would heartily agree with you. Thoughtfulness in regards to posts has two interpretations - one, that the posts are thoughtfully written, as opposed to dashed off in a rush, or two, that they are thoughtful in their content as to the feelings and positions of others. I would have thought both you and I scored okay on both counts there, as do for that matter the majority of contributors on OLO.

I do not understand! my post was a friendly one, not an attack!

Bronwyn, in her post of Monday, 9 March 2009 at 1:23:56 PM:

"I still haven’t heard back from Forrest to know whether or not my sleuthing efforts have cracked his cryptic trail. I thought I had it all figured at the time, but for all I know I could be way off beam."

Nay, but verily thou hast got two-thirds of the way there! It seems it is as I quoth, that thy reading skills lag somewhat behind thy writing skills. Remembering that it was from the names in examinators list in his post of Friday, 6 March 2009 at 6:39:57 PM that the triumvirate was envisaged as being composed, thou hast overlooked one present therein. Which is not to say that Romany wouldst not make it worthily a quadrumvirate with but little effluxion of time, nay, even the presence of a single post, nor even that Foxy wouldst not make it yet a quincumvirate, mentioned therin as she was. But still thou overlooketh.

Yea, and it is not the first time that thou hast made such oversight. I but quote from this post: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2509#56742 "It would have to be right up there as one of my all time favourites - along with Foxy's dinner party thread, ...." The problem was, yes, it was Foxy's dinner party upon which you (and doubtless many others, including myself) focussed, but it was pelican's thread. And it was pelican's name that appeared in examinator's list. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to gaol.

As for phlaigmes, were they not explained in the 'Prince Valium' post? Homophones for 'flames', those cyberspatial combats we all know so well. And speaking of a Minister for Respect, why not the illustrious Prince Valium himself? Col Rouge. Yea, but I must have cast a spell, that you sensed not what a phlaigme was.

Fractelle: "A.S. your comment [, Bronwyn ,thoughtfulness:
From your kingdom, do not forget your poor relatives.] was uncalled for."

Pure Gospellian. So sad.

Forrest Gumpp, Fractelle, Bronwyn
Please keep me out from your stories.
I did an innocent joke, that's all.
If you have any problem in your government, this is your problem!
At the moment you have our full support but you can not go like that for long time.
We want and expect from you to solve our problems, not to fight each other.
Do not forget that next elections are coming, soon or later.
