Since when, our misguided Gilbert, Pat Lumumba U, Moscow, manufatured
mateial have transpired the realm of learnedness; e4ven, those that have
found
lousy LSE as their further nourishment into miserable idiosyncarancy?
Even, Christian charity & ba´mon arrpgance conduces us to give these a wide
¨
berth?
Punch back if you dare!

Most Goanet sages would advise me to ignore the following post.
But Cornel is my good friend and a learned man.
Below, is a great example of one who did not read or understand what is
written.
As I read his response, Cornel, Salman Rushdie and myself are saying the
same thing. But then it is said, "Great men think alike." :=))
Kind Regards, GL

If you find Goanet postings somewhat irritating, please ignore them or use
your delete button.
Let me also remind you of a famous author (perhaps it was Salman Rushdi)
who said that, nothing is worth writing about if it will not irritate
anyone. I have retained the posts below so that Goanetters get a good
flavour of this discussion.

Going out to pasture as punishment is better than a horse retiring to stud.
I would take that any day.:=)).
So too, would I take, "sarcasm, wit, ire, irritations and sensitivities"
and metaphors etc.. And definitely prefer them to insensitive, deceitful,
innuendo posts AIMED SOLELY and REPEATEDLY to embarrass and vilify others.
I hope most writers and readers know when that line is crossed.

That may irritate some other people, too!! That's Goanet for you - can't
please all the people all the time, some you can't please at all *smirk*.
So where were we - sarcasm, wit, ire, irritations and sensitivities - try
slipping that Russell Peters DVD into the Home Theatre and sit back and
laugh!!-

I honestly don't think I deserve this. I am not being any more or any less
irritating or insensitve than most posters on this forum. I have quiet a
few people who write to me and tell me that they enjoy my postings. However
if I am, then I shall put myself out to pasture and save everyone the
irritation.
