Steve... buddy...

I must apologize for making you do all of that editing. My stance hasn't changed, but I do feel bad for making you, a disinterested party, have to do more work because ol' tuck and I disagree.

And by disinterested party I mean a guy who was not in the middle of the argument.

I can still post, so it seems i've not been banished to the nether regions of cyberspace. If you've e-mailed me, i'll have to get to it when I get home...

No worries. I don't want to bombard users with emails more than I have to. Frequent forum users (sounds kinda like frequent flyer miles) will see that their posts have been edited or pulled and hopefully understand why.

I appreciate and accept your apology. Now go light up a good smoke!

Bloody favoritism. The nights I stayed a wake dreaming of being spat in the face.

I'm being repressed. I'm being repressed. Now you see the violence that is inherent in the system.

Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

Bloody peasant!

Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses! Not some watery tart tossing about scimitars...

Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you

BE QUIET!!!

I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

ARTHUR

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held Excalibur aloft from the bosom of the water to signify byDivine Providence ... that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur ...That is why I am your king!

DENNIS

Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ... is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

ARTHUR

Be quiet!

DENNIS

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you

ARTHUR

Shut up!

DENNIS

I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, people would put me away!

ARTHUR

(Grabbing him by the collar)

Shut up, will you. Shut up!

DENNIS

Ah! NOW ... we see the violence inherent in the system.

ARTHUR

Shut up!

DENNIS

Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm being repressed!

ARTHUR

Bloody peasant!

DENNIS

Oh, Did you hear that! What a give-away.

ARTHUR

Come on, patsy.

DENNIS

did you see him repressing me, then? That's what I've been on about ...

What the H-E- double hockey sticks happened here?

I didn't get no damn Email **yanked by SteveR@cbid**
