Word For The Day, Wednesday, 9/11/02
dictionary.com ^ | 9/11/02 | me

Posted on 09/11/2002 6:11:46 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


revanche\r-vänch, -väsh\, n:
re·vanchism (-vänchz-m, -väshz-) n.
re·vanchist adj. & n.
re·vanch·istic adj.

1.The act of retaliating; revenge.
2.A usually political policy, as of a nation or an ethnic group, intended to regain lost territory or standing.

Etymology:French, from Old French revancher, to revenge : re-, re- + vengier, vencher, to avenge; see revenge.

- Why, you ask? -- Because he was accepted into the FR 'power structure' by volunteering his legal services, that's why.
-- Now, in order to solidify his petty 'power' he thinks he has to act as a forum hall monitor for those he considers 'politically incorrect'.
Whatta clown.

I was watching that thread, and I know why you made the point you did in the beginning (the trashing of the Long Cut thread is a prime example of the attitude you were referring to). After that, two or three people took shots at you, and your responses to them were not unreasonable.

I don't think you were the reason the thread was pulled. Now, if anybody can prove otherwise, fine - but it sure didn't look that way to me.

Too bad, because it could have been a great thread.

I freepmailed the mod, and asked if I could put up a thread with nothing but tpaine's nasty little scribblings on it as a "self corrective measure" in the smokey backroom - I haven't gotten an answer yet. All that abuse he'd take (he is not pleasant) would break new ground.

What is it with you weirdos? He didn't even ping you to that post. Do you search for his posts just you can jump in and be nasty?

Stalking? -- Bull.
You cowardly made first mention of this little flap, and I explained how & why I came across it. - You lie about even the little things, like this, that are obvious.
How weird.

You imply that I can't read and then you wonder why I call you nasty? Get a life!

In the first place, your post #233 was directed at OPH. Said post #233, was directed at post #227 which was not addressed to you at all. Granted it was about you but it wasn't addressed to you. Therefore, you must do searches for OPH's posts or you do searches for references to yourself.

If it is the first, then you are indeed a weirdo and if it is the second, then you are a vain little jerk.

That is totally uncalled for. We try to have some decorum on this thread. Care to apologize to SeaDragon or buzz off?

ROFL...... tpaine, how freaking jealous are you? This sounds like the biggest whine of the century......what's wrong, didn't you get picked to play on the "popular" team in school?

OPH is indeed a colorful man, and that is just one of the many things I like about him. Plus, he is my friend, and I stand by my friends.....
