] Date Posted: 20:55:20 01/07/05 Fri In reply to: Curnoack 's message, "A bit rich for you to talk about national identity" on 20:11:29 01/07/05 Fri Curnoak, I actually wrote to the leader of the Mebyon Kernow and explained our FCS ideas to him. He was very supportive. He liked the idea of a self-governing Cornwall within a wider Commonwealth Federation, where the domination of England is reduced because of the inclusion of the overseas countries. So I understand your frustration, but don't be too hostile, because the leader of your movement is quite keen on our idea. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:58:35 01/08/05 Sat I don't wish to be unkind, but have you ever considered any form of professional counselling? Your deranged level of hostility does not seem normal to me. If you can translate "My next-door neighbour's dog has stolen the lemon-meringue which I would have given to my brother's wife's mother for her ninetieth birthday had she not been diagnosed with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconioisis" into Cornish in fewer than two minutes, I will recant all objections to your Cornomania, but frankly I doubt that you can. To coin a phrase, futue te ipsum et caballam tuam. If you ever again post on this website then I will not. Serious and good-natured discussion of a shared objective is what I started posting for, not three-quarters deranged abuse, and if the forum is susceptible to this sort of nonsense then it is not for me, and I shall devote my talents and wealth to more conventional movements. Victory for you, I think. Kyj dhe-ves, ty wokki. Re'th kijyewgh hwi. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 10:13:05 01/13/05 Thu I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm glad you don't seem to have acted on your threat. Your contributions would be missed. It isn't necessary for anyone to debate with individuals with whom they have no wish to debate. Simply ignore topics and they will quickly disappear from the forum. I understand your frustrations - they are regularly voiced by people at one time or another, but personally I believe freedom of speech is a paramount value we should defend, and although I don't think it applies in totality to this forum, I want to encourage as many interesting and different contributions as possible. If individuals descend to the level of spamming this will be dealt with. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:06:02 01/14/05 Fri " "My next-door neighbour's dog has stolen the lemon-meringue which I would have given to my brother's wife's mother for her ninetieth birthday had she not been diagnosed with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconioisis" Perhaps if you can translate meringue and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconioisis first. Presumably this mother was a miner, because they're the ones to get that disease. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:09:14 01/14/05 Fri Pneumonoultramicroscopicsailicovolcaniconioisis is in fact an entirely fictious disorder. ;-) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 01:06:09 01/15/05 Sat ... it's a very cool name for a disease, fictitious or not. Rather like 'distemper' and 'melancholia'. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:13:23 01/15/05 Sat Not as good as 'Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' - meaning 'fear of long words' [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 00:41:43 01/16/05 Sun I knew that "sesquippedalophobia" meant an irrational fear of long words, but your version sounds like an irrational fear of long words and river horses, from the Greek constituent parts. Mind you, I am a great fan of 'phobia' words. If you're ever in the Science Museum in Kensington, there's a whole section of them somewhere, and some of them are fantastic. Agyrophobia (fear of streets or crossing the street) and cherophobia (fear of gaiety) are two of my favourites. Soceraphobia (fear of in-laws) is also fun. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
