] Date Posted: 10:13:05 01/13/05 Thu In reply to: Ed Harris (London) 's message, "Toll din Curnoak" on 00:58:35 01/08/05 Sat 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. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous 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: 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 ] |
