OK, Don, what are the rules for multiple usage?

This was our course: We realized that the people who wronged us were perhaps spiritually sick.
Though we did not like their symptoms and the way these
disturbed us, they, like ourselves, were sick too. We
asked God to help us show them the same tolerance, pity,
and patience that we would cheerfully grant a sick friend.
When a person offended we said to ourselves, "This is a
sick man. How can I be helpful to him? God save me
from being angry. Thy will be done.

Don't know what happened to my post but I did not think anything was inflammatory in it. Was there some editing done? I missed the fireworks I guess.

Dan

Just a bit of good old linear thinking was removed fuster. Probably beneficial for all in the end. Thanks for your wishes for my continued recovery by the way. I was deeply moved.
And Steve, my friend, what was that all about?!!

mackat

now is that like "i was busy projectile epurgatin' an' this fool kept obstreperizing me bout the dangers of drinkin"?

fuster

Well, thanks, Dan. I wish I saw what was said before the deletions, but not that curious. Moderators have to sometimes shut down threads when they get out of control. At least this one survived, albeit with cosmetic surgery.

Dan

:LMAO Nicely put Mac!

Niner;
Thank you for the reminder!
" ask God to help us show them the same tolerance, pity,

It would be so easy to spiral off again. Yes, I hear you niner, and thank you!
Shalom!

Rudiger

So are we going to play? What are the rules? Do we try to use all the words from previous entries or just the one new one?

Dan

Hey rudiger, glad to see you!

Rudiger

Thanks Dan. I have trouble with getting logged off after trying to post so I am here but unable to post sometimes.

Do I owe you a Pepsi? I don't know. The leafs and the Wings both died out.

Sooo. Whats the next new word? How about "Loquacious"? You are the guy with a kazillion posts so you may know about this kind of thing. Hehe.

Rudiger

Dan

:LMAO on the pepsi! Yeah, I've got some time on my hands and I'm spending a lot of it here, for good or bad! This is Don's baby though, so I ain't gonna touch loquacious!
But then again, I remember....! Never mind!
I read you had some tech stuff going on. Hope all resolves itself. I sure enjoy reading your posts.

Later then!

mackat

that same dude that was obstreperizin' me , well he kept on it, pretty much loquaciously, til i was thinkin i might hafta becudgel him vigorously 'bout the neck and shoulders. Now we was in one deep logomachy!!

MootPoint

:LMAO mackat!

Don S

Mackat loses 50 points for using obstreperous as a verb, but regains them and adds 50 more for adding loquacious, turning cudgel into an Olde English idiom in a rural Southern US vernacular, and 100 more for bringing the whole conversation into context with the dead-on logomachy!
Loquats, by the way, have nothing to do with loquacious, or with kumquats, for that matter. Both are fruit, but the former is not a citrus while the latter is--though in its own genus, making it unique among that fruit group.
Whew.

Thanks Don. I'm educated in mathematics, and English was never my forte. Anyone want to discuss differential equations, quadratic functions or theory of Pythagoras, whip it out, though it would be a real long stretch as it realtes to recovery!
