You guys are a riot. Dave pinged me. Just like you've pinged me. Unsolicited.

Perhaps we should work on the definition of english words before we move on to the Greek then?

"Ignore" pretty much implies that you do't talk to people whne they talk to you. If you aren't talking to people who also aren't talking to you that wouldn't really be "ignoring" now would it? Are there 100,000 other folks on FR that you are "ignoring"?

And wasn't your "I'm ignoring you" post in response to SEVERAL pings by Dave to try to get you to respond to a simple (but embarassing) question? How does "I'm ignoring you" explain why you hadn't responded to pings if "Dave pinged me" explains why you respond without violating the "ignoring"?

You know... TULIP ain't the only thing you giys don't make much sense on.

We're better off if he just ignores all of us.

No, I was responding to Dave calling me a "Schmuck."

I didn't realize we could get away with language like that on Free Republic. Perhaps he and you don't know the meaning of the word or its derivation.

Either way, when the conversation reaches this level, it's best to bow out.

I'll be sure to speak well of you both, should the occasion arise.
