Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Ralphie Date: 31 Jan 02 - 02:31 AM Is this the most pointless thread that's ever been posted, Or am I missing something ?????? |

No
For you have not missed it, you have posted to it.
As have I.
If no one else is as silly as both of us, this thread will just fall off the bottom of the Mudcat world. I will place a bet on the fact that this unfortunately will not be the last contribution to this thread. |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: A Wandering Minstrel Date: 31 Jan 02 - 09:24 AM Whilst stubbornly refusing to return to my earlier chalklike state It would be nice if someone would re calcitare Guest neatly in to touch? |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 31 Jan 02 - 10:31 AM What does recalitrant mean? I looked in my dictionary, but it's not there. |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Bill D Date: 31 Jan 02 - 10:45 AM it's something between recalibrate and recapitulate....when applied in a recondite manner |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 31 Jan 02 - 10:51 AM You're right John from Hull - you'll never find recalitrant in the dictionary. |
|
Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: GUEST Date: 31 Jan 02 - 11:00 AM John, recalcitrant adjective: Marked by stubborn resistance to and defiant of authority or guidance Recalcitrant ultimately derives from Latin recalcitrare, to kick back, from re-, back + calitrare, to strike with the heel, to kick, from calx, calc-, heel. |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: GUEST,Sailor Dan at work Date: 31 Jan 02 - 11:19 AM The first sentence illustrates the "Guest" and its attitude The second sentence illustrates the appropriate actions to be taken to it for not being open |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: A Wandering Minstrel Date: 31 Jan 02 - 11:49 AM Hmmm Puissant? Redundant? Recalcitrant I'm quite looking forward to reaching 'S' Then we can get Guests views on Self-aggrandizing Sybaritic and Superfluity Sorry, its a slow day....:D |
|
Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: GUEST Date: 31 Jan 02 - 12:41 PM Ah yes, S. And we can get Members' views on this "S" word too... http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame38.html |
|
Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Paul from Hull Date: 31 Jan 02 - 01:07 PM Hmmmm...a strange & inappropriate choice. Surely one of the other 'S-words' would have fitted better? Not that you were going to pick THIS one, of course: http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame9.html |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Jan 02 - 04:57 PM I guess I'd have to agree that "recalcitrant" is a perfect description of our anonymous Guest. He/she should be well aware by now that most Mudcatters feel taken aback and maybe a bit frightened by leering potshots from unknown sources - kind of like being in the gunsight of a sniper on a rooftop. "Pariah" might be another good term. He/she is certainly worthy of our disdain. It seems to me that the sole purpose of this thread was to cause trouble, and to do so anonymously. I don't like you, Guest. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: PaulM Date: 31 Jan 02 - 06:03 PM Joe I agree but GUEST did introduce (me at least) to the Flame Warriors site, which I found pretty entertaining and funny. Do you recognise the Nanny? *grin* No offense intended Paul |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Little Hawk Date: 31 Jan 02 - 06:06 PM Ho, ho! Do you actually think any of us would DARE to name the most recalcitrant member of the Mudcat??? Certainly not I. There are individuals on this forum who, if irritated or pestered, will dart forth like a moray eel from his hole and rend the unwary net wanderer with a flow of verbal abuse which would have reduced Blackbeard the Pirate to stunned stupefaction. Beside them Mudcat's anonymous GUESTS are mere pallid, impotent, umimpressive virtual nonentities...beings of a not even slightly puissant stature. They crawl around the edges of this forum namelessly like Chuchundra the Muskrat, afraid to ever come to the center of the room. I have no intention of naming any of the Mudcat's most recalcitrant members, let alone the THE most recalcitrant one of them all! (*shudder*) Now "sybaritic"...there's a great word! Thanks, Minstrel! - LH

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: GUEST,Spot the Dog Date: 31 Jan 02 - 07:43 PM Guest, Be so good as to come out and sign in. It makes my brain 'urt learning new words and recalcitrant is a doozer to try and pronounce. I can't see why you don't sign in as a ..............oh bugger this..I can't be arsed talking to a "not right"..... Spot. (who is quietly working to find my old cookie) |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: DougR Date: 31 Jan 02 - 07:49 PM Because, Spot, Guest get his kicks reading posts like yours, and others who have taken the bait. Someone of much import said one time, "It is better to be hated than ignored." I think it was Kendall. That is the philosophy of Guest and others like him/her. DougR |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: GUEST,Spot the Dog Date: 31 Jan 02 - 07:55 PM DougR, I guess I am just an old innocent who tries to find good in all things. I will take your advice and refrain from any more encouragement. Spot (still lookin for that cookie.........) |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Little Hawk Date: 31 Jan 02 - 07:56 PM It's similar to the "it's better to be in trouble than to be ignored" attitude displayed by restless dogs and children... Are our GUESTS suffering from parental neglect? - LH |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Dave Wynn Date: 31 Jan 02 - 08:16 PM Just one more posting.....Yippee..I am Spot the Dog again......I have had a PM from a very clever person and changed things on my PC, It now won't play games or run any of my fave programs but it gives me a cookie... Just testing really... Spot the Dog |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: michaelr Date: 31 Jan 02 - 08:20 PM YES - GUEST prefers being hated to being ignored...so let's ignore him! See my "Why is this place so redundant...so redundant...so redundant..." thread. Cheers, Michael |

Subject: RE: Most Recalcitrant Mudcatter? From: Blackcatter Date: 01 Feb 02 - 01:21 AM We can ignore him, but why don't we just really piss him off and NOT hate him! I LOVE YOU GUEST!!!!! |
