"They (beaurocrats) are all about establishing an agenda already decided upon by head bureaucrat"
Beaurocrats do not have heart and thay are lazy to use their brain. They are yesmen/women and sometimes very dangerous because the law gives then plenty power.
The Pied Piper is an honest, fair brave person who writes on the forum promoting her ideas, nice ideas. She is not a yes woman, she is exactly what the beaurocracy and cheap people do not like. I am afraid soon or later the beaurocrats will try to press her, to close her mouth and they have many ways to do it.
Fractelle, you are a worrior for human rights, I am too even I do not seem, CAN WE DO SOMETHING TO SUPPORT The Pied Piper AND HOW?
For me if The Pied Piper have a problem it will have to do with her ideas and her posts on the forum, covered by stupid beaurocratic rules.

Dear Fractelle,

Thanks!

I'm working on a limerick for Houllie but I don't
know if I'll be game to post it :)

yet.

I may post something else instead.

Dear Pericles - this one's for you
(in memory of M. Roederer):

"I blow my pipes, the glad birds sing,
The fat young nymphs about me spring,
The sweaty centaur leaps the trees
And bites his dryad's splendid knees;
The sky, the water, and the earth
Repeat aloud our noisy mirth ...
Anon, tight-bellied bacchanals,
With ivy from the vineyard walls,
Lead out and crown with shining glass
The wine's red baby on the grass.

I blow my pipes, the glad birds sing,
The fat young nymphs about me spring,
I am the Lord,
I am the Lord,
I am the Lord of everything!"

Hey Fractelle, Next meeting I need a microphone in my ear and you all hooked up at the other end handing me replies.

Gawd could you imagine; Anti in my ear instructing me to tell them to go sniff crotch somewhere else, you telling him to shut up, Col handing me a string of taxpayer abuse while Examinator uses words and phrases I’d have no hope of repeating without stuttering. Houel or Seeker would make a joke and I’d get the giggles.

Hey Anti – if you quote something someone said out loud, not written, would “(sic)” also follow? I should be giving you a tutoring fee. How come you know? Or should I be asking why don’t I know or how I missed this kind of stuff.

C’mon Foxy, just post it. Is it rude? Hope so.[grin]
