I couldn't decide which part of the Huge Body to send forward, so all of me is toddling to the microphone, wearing a pith helmet and glancing warily around, on the alert for hostile attacks from the razor sharp intellects governing the environs. Why would you intimidate someone here any more than anywhere else? Naw--I think it's the Judge who scares 'em. Maybe they think this is a thread for fishing enthusiasts. And Judge Bleonard is the guy who has that Saturday afternoon fishing show on TV. Fishing is bad enough; watching someone fish on TV is excruciating. Hostile environments on SI usually don't deter anyone---indeed they attract throngs of people who thrive on insults. MAybe you're not hostile enough. Maybe no one is sure yet what the accepted tone of the thread is: Let's see- Now if this were DAR, the exchange would have gone thusly: Alex: I'm sure you're right, but the word parenting bothers me somehow. CGB: Oh, I'm sorry. I understand that. It's been accepted since 1958, so it really is a word but it's certainly relatively new and I can see why you might feel that way. Why don't I just not use it? Alex: Oh, no! That's all right! It won't bother me. I think you're wonderful the way you looked it up and mentioned it so nicely. Thank you. CGB: Oh, please. You're too sweet! Let's find a word that makes us both happy and write a fantasy about it. THey hug and get the dictionary and a couple of cold ones SAME SCENE AT FEELINGS: ALEx: WHen you use that word, I feel as if I want to scream. CGB: It's because you're so conservative. DOn't you think it's fairer to make all words equal? Don't they all deserve the same opportunities? ALex: No-you're violating my rights to maintain a traditional vocabulary. If you want to make-up words, you are free to do so in the privacy of your own home. CGB: Here is a URL you might like to read. Webster concludes that parenting has been a word since 1958. Alex: Well, it makes me feel sick. ASK GOD: Alex: Although I love you in Christ, I really hate that word. I forgive you though for using it. CGB: III Webster v.3-4 . And they shall go forth and parent.. I will pray that you read these words and repent of your sins. ALex: I believe that verse is open to interpretation. CGB: It is the Word of Webster, you blasphemer. Take your filth and leave. (THis is really fun.....)
