Oooh, the excitement of it all!

Erm...how many times have you been that close to death then?

It's all part of the Service. PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum...

Well to be honest I don't know how to measure it as I might not have known about it a number of times. I once saw a UFO and they could have landed and shot me in an instance. So as you can see it's a difficult one to answer.

While you are here and given the topic recently raised on this thread of it being bad form to out people's true identities. Might you be an Irish priest in reality given your use of Latin?

[PeckhamRose]

I was not talking about my Humanist Funeral signature which was cut from my signature first with the rest left alone.

I am now talking about the community spirited stuff such as links to blood donor site, Kings College Hospital site, writing a Will, etc. I make no money from that but it was deleted for me. (Having said that I don't make much money from the Humanist Funerals work and have never got a 'gig' from this site. I certainly could not afford the ?150 I was quoted for 3 months.)

You write, "I think you believe you are fighting some noble fight but I don't see the masses rising up behind you, so it might be worth counting to ten". Could you sound more patronising? Can you read PMs? You certainly can't read my emails. I have been getting a lot of support, and I thank those who take the time to do so, for it.

*adopts an intellectual expression*

Yes, of course - such a thought had not occurred to me.

Let's just say that, as a titled Lady of means with nothing better to do all day, I dabble...wafer and a drop of wine?

Shouldn't you hear my confession first?

You are quite correct...I've been testing the new batch of wine today...my apologies for this minor lapse...

Now, as for your confession...please go ahead...

*leads Declan to a sinister looking double cupboard*

[Narnia]

Oh dear LM, could you not start a confessions thread? I'm already feeling guilty about making so many posts on this one. I dread how many Our Fathers you're going to give me.

So you should...the answer is on the EDF Drinks' Thread (The Lounge)...it was of paramount importance that I make an example of you. Now where is your Rosary?

[SeanMacGabhann]

LM/Declan - we've all 'ad a laff but another reminder to keep the thread on topic please? This ain't the Lounge (yet)

PR - if you think you response to my initial post about redirecting the conversation was reasonable and proportionate I can only wonder

[Narnia]

I've already expressed my guilt Sean and been given my punishment. See the priest.

Bottom line, of you don't like it then, frankly, fuck off and start your own forum with your own rules.

Plenty of things I'd do differently if I ruled the roost. For a start I'd ban all signatures as they're ugly and they clutter the place. I've always said the EDF's strength is its simplicity. No avatars, no thumbs up or down of comments, no poster ratings etc.

Sigs add clutter and PR was the worst offender, somehow its very worthiness made it even worse as you had to hate yourself for being uncivic minded everytime you had to wade past its elephantine awfulness on-every-bloody-comment.

But then I don't go to the enourmous investment of time, effort and expense to provide the largest possible number of people with a satisfactory, quality, free and effective service do I, as I'm far too lazy and happy for someone else to

do the work, so I'll thank admin for all his effort rather than project my own inadequacies on to him.

[KalamityKel]

completely off topic but can we not refer to Admin as "them"? We know there's more than one and it certainly makes more sense to refer to admin as a team... just a thought :)

[mockney piers]

Admin is admin. 'Tis His place. The team are but loyal minkies. They aid with the smooth running but it isn't their show.

Admin is not legion...

;-)

[KalamityKel]

Then they shouldnt call themselves the administrator innit

[SeanMacGabhann]

And when has anyone done that?

This thread is getting more and more bizaare!

[mockney piers]

Quite. Can you link to that post please Kel?

[KalamityKel]

not enuff space here chook ;-) anyways my point is not being taken seriously. I shall hush up

[SeanMacGabhann]

you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist now kel

if you want to be taken seriously, don't make spurious accusations and then run away

[KalamityKel]

I'm not at all. You've assumed I'm meaning someone is/has gone round saying "I'm the administrator... yadda yadda" when what I meant was that those helping to do the admins duties use the account administrator. Would it not be more appropriate to be called something else? Tis all. Didn't wanna make a big deal out of it.

I much prefer the thingy over there next to the thing that does that thing approach to life when it comes to explanations :)

[SeanMacGabhann]

And you feel confident making that assumption do you? If you don't want to make a big deal of something then why invent something like that?

[KalamityKel]

Why be so defensive? I don't recall accusing your good self or even anyone of doing any wrong doing.

I'm not inventing anything. Sheesh you get got at from all sides!!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm not defensive - I'm just preventing untruths from becoming common currency. I didn't ask you if you thought the account was used by anyone other than admin - you stated baldly and repeatedly that it was. And you did that for a reason presumably? Or do you just write any thought that comes into your head?

You barged into a thread and said "off topic but" and then made a false allegation - When Piers pointed out it wasn't true you tried again and now you are crying about being called on it?

You COULD just say you were wrong and apologise gracefully

hang on a sec... are you picking on me for a particular reason?

What exactly have I said that you believe I deserve such a talking down to AND in such a public manner? How can I apologise for something I have no idea what YOU are talking about?

You make a very bad habit of reading deeper into the things unnecessarily and then pursue in a character assassination, yes I will accuse you of something (as it seems that is what you are wanting).

On many an occassion I can recall when you, SeanMC, have answered an admin q in your own name speaking on behalf of admin. No I don't care to trail through the various posts tracking anything down to prove a point. you have riled me in to response.

If anyone should do any aplogising it should be you. You're not exactly setting a good example to others with your personal attacks as displayed above.

No don't bother responding I'm really not interested.

[mockney piers]

there is nothing to hide.

Only the admin uses the admin account.

The chair is passed on occasionally, thus far four holders, myself the first and briefest of the four.

There is a family room moderator, it is one person, it is not the admin.

There are moderators and they cajole politely behind the scenes using their own names.

Or so I'm told ... Unless that's what they want you to think.
