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....

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.

Thanks for your support .30. He doesn't want to go away and then when his hands get slapped by a moderator, he whines.

No need to thank me Sea - as 30C summed it up very well:

Not today, not this thread.......

But I will take it a step further - NEVER this thread.

I honestly don't know what is with this guy or why I ended up on his personal hate list but he is getting tiresome.

And you dare talk about others?

You invaded OUR thread - not the other way around.

It is obvious you are unfamiliar with the classmates - but I will give you a hint - WE PROTECT OUR OWN.

If you call that an attack then you are worse off than I thought.

Believe me when I say it, when I attack, you will know it for a fact. Don't ever doubt it............

You may have thought so in the beginning but then you made the mistake of coming here.

Quit posting to us and we will quit posting to you.

Go away.

I'll even be nice and say please.

Please go away and leave our thread alone.

Don't tell me who I may post to or about or not.

In all the time they've been around I've gone to an admin mod only once about an offending post - and it was one of my own that I hit post a few too many times on.

In all the time of the WFTD threads the only time an admin mod has been called in is for a similar situation. We don't need you're kind of nonsense in here.

This is a friendly thread where we direct each other to other threads which may be of contention - but we leave our contention on those other threads.

That is why I ask you to leave.

Call me an O_P_H sycophant all you want - you will be laughed at all over the place - everyone that knows me knows there are very few things he and I agree upon. but it appears he and I can disagree in a proper manner.

Tell me how you spent your day, SeaDragon. The interloper appears to have gotten the hint.

"The interloper appears to have gotten the hint."

I'm not an 'interloper', --- you're a clown that just can't seem to let it be.

Whatta 'group'.

I would love to tell you. Unfortunately, it is time for me to go to dinner. If I get a chance when I return, I will.
