Christmas poem to the unknown soldier

[CATHYM]

I agree I think that was out of line there was no call to be vulgar.

Bobbie,
Freedom of speech, check the thread again, I never started the attacks. Mary tried to be smart, I have a right to defend myself, have I not?. Happy New Year.

Do you honestly think you are the only one who feels compassion for another human being??? Do you honestly think that we all over here dance on graves?? YOU are the only one who is "righteous" and moral? GMAFB..

You had no right to say what you said to her. She said nothing degrading to you... and if you use world affairs as an excuse to be crude and vulgar to another person on this forum, that is pathetic.

You've got the right to say whatever you want, but unfortunately, you don't have any good sense to go with it.

Bobbie,

So what did she say to me Bobbie ? other than to try to humiliate me.

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Unbelievable.. If you had any sense, you would delete your own post, and give a full apology to her and not use any lame excuse for posting it.

[ionnsaigh]

Bobbie,
Lame excuse? excuse me-why did Mary G try to embarrass me.
I will ask you again; What did she actually say to me? because that is exactly what she did to me.

Freedom of speech

With freedom comes responsibility.

@ Ionnsaigh. In answer to your question, I am not interested in taking sides though I do find your posts very skewed. You have a right to your views and a right to express them but as Beachcomber says, that right has a responsibility with it. Use your right responsibly please.

All

Firstly, a Guid New Year to you all, when it comes. May it be peaceful and successful for you and yours.

Thanks for the support, and kind words, Bobbie, Cathy and Bill; not that the comments bothered me. Ionnsaigh – apologies accepted. My intention was never to embarrass you, so sorry if that was how you felt.

And apologies to Bill for contributing to the shift off-topic. But having witnessed some of Ionnsaigh’s posts on this thread, I was intrigued to learn more about him, and in particular the relationship between his chosen identify and the extent of his Gaelic. And other forum users also appeared to find the moniker worthy of comment, so I thought that it merited a little more inquiry.

I still find the choice of “Ionnsaigh” (meaning ‘attack’, normally pronounced ‘YOU-en-see’) an odd one, especially since we now know that he appears to have little or no Gaelic. But then I also find it strange that people get tattoos of Chinese proverbs … what if it doesn’t say what you asked for?!? How do you tell if it is right, if you don’t know the language? Similarly, I would not use a Gaelic identity if I couldn’t speak the language. So, I did think it reasonable to ask Ionnsaigh a simple question in Gaelic, given his user-name was in that language.

It all reminds me of the true story about a couple who had moved to Islay, who didn’t know any Gaelic but who wanted a Gaelic name for their small abode. They used the literal translation of “Little House”, which is “Taigh-bheag” … Gaelic for toilet!

Mary G.,
All the best to you and yours in 2007.

No apoligies required from you whatsoever.

As my Mum would say"that man could start an arguement in an empty hoose".

Mary G,
All the best
we see

Mary G,
Hello again , I realise this is way off topic, yet I wasn't sure to post this-as a new topic.
Your post got me thinking if I had made an error in picking a Gaelic name. I certainly thought that it was a good idea at the time. Not so sure now. However after some considerable amount of thought Ive decided to keep it.
My surname is an old Irish Gaelic name, so I would hazard a guess that my ancestors spoke the tongue.
PS sorry if my backstreet manners got the better of me.

Darn! I miss all the fun!

Glad everyone kissed and made up!

Happy New Year to all!

Sliante!!!

(Hope I spelled it right!)))
