IDIOT, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line. D.D.

[NORRYM]

This poor creation, that cannot explain its reason for existence, will die of natural causes without or despite my help. All you sages, who so gallantly rallied to the cause, cannot muster a solid counter-argument against my premise a bit. Irena had it right originally - only you sages skipped and hopped around her retort, without actually responding to her challenge. This should suffice for now - you may go and plot your answer together and cry in your beer. emkay/12/26/00

BEHAVIOR, n.
Conduct, as determined, not by principle, but by breeding.

UNDERSTANDING, n. A cerebral secretion that enables one having it to
know a house from a horse by the roof on the house. Its nature and
laws have been exhaustively expounded by Norrym I, who rode a house, and
Norrym II, who lived in a horse. Pp D.D.

Mr Norrym & Mr Nonson,

I posted the original message because I had an idea and wanted to know what other people thought. Whether 'For' or 'Against'.

I really don't think you two are contributing anything to the discussion. I'm English and a graduate and even I can't find anything constructive in your arguments.
All these "big words" don't impress anyone. All you're doing is putting-off people whose English may not be as good as your own - and that's not fair.

If you want to simply 'slag-off' the Ukrainian economy and make personal abuse to each other, why not just swap E-addresses and get on with it, without spoiling things for other people?

Peace.

S.B.

Mr. Bailey,

It is known to all that you started the thread, and they also know the subject of it. As for your judgment that I have contributed nothing to it, then your ability to reason must be called into question. As of yet, you have posted no credible responses to my queries regarding your beliefs. They were made in a level of the English language which even a middle schooler is rather well able to comprehend. I can't speak for a GRADUATE.

As for Mr. Norrym. He is here merely to assauge a giant ego. Having found insufficient submission to his pushy nature, he decided to utilize nastiness in a further effort to sate his desperate need. Still, no success. Nor will there be any.

It is agreed that what is happening between Mr. Norrym and myself is not topical, but I refuse to let his crudeness overshadow the more constructive nature of this site. Sadly, people like him have done considerable damage to other member sites of VC. Russia.comand & Turkey.com are but two recent examples. It is my wish that the same not occur here. Peace
