Just kidding... This thread has gotten a bit ridiculous though huh?
sorry for being what you might call 'political correct' in this certain case - I know it's a sensitive topic but I still think no-one should have the right to humiliate someone else by calling him 'fat' and -I still think it's very respectless.

Not sure if you meant to direct that at me, but I do not recall ever using the term 'fat' or 'overweight' or anything of that nature (in this thread, or any thread)...

In fact, I am quite certain that if you went through the history of my posts, you'd be hard-pressed to find even one post where I was guilty of name-calling.

So I write such a big reply on the topic and look where the thread goes, talking about fat people, blah

you misunderstood me - you wrote 'this thread has become ridiculous' and I replied 'sorry, but it had to because of the kind of insult Krim threw off' - that's all...

I must seek out the mythical twinkie when I'm in the States next month. Where do you get 'em?

Nah, its only a few months old, I think. I assume Rob did it one night when he was bored.

disrespectful

wow, i even found 'respectless' over at dictionary.com ... only one short entry, though, seems like an old/uncommon word.

this wasn't OT, was it?

jens · Post by **jens** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 12:03 pm

yeah, respectless is the old German word (English is a Germanic derivative after all (die Angelsachsen waren Nordfriesen)) - I suppose disrespectful is newer and shows how the two languages gradually move apart - other examples are 'halt', 'stool', 'thou, thee, thine', 'betwixt' etc.

('thou knowest not what thou speakest'<- sounds familiar, doesn't it?)

What's OT again?
