No, that will have to be translated into French-- which, according to Wikipedia, is "Bouilloire pot au noir." Maybe contract it to one word-- the Bouilloirepotaunoir.

That did come across that way--at least to me who doesn't post here much. Comes across as saying the people here are whackos and not worth listening to, rather than a comment on the whackiness of the forum area.

well it was unintended to be an insult. I include myself as a member of the Llounge and therefore the insanity

just drop it. leave it as something the whackos in the Lounge pLlay around with

It certainly doesn't sound as though you are including yourself in the set of MR members who are to be characterized as "whackos". However, if that's an apology then I accept.

it is an apology, and I certainly identify myself as being one of the whackos from the Llounge

for future reference, if you have not done so already, I highly recommend that you PM me and find out WHY I have that sig line and what I have been forbidden to say here

so, I think cnn is about as mainstream as it gets and they like e-reader

The term liseuse will never catch on in the mainstream--especially in English speaking cultures.

But no harm in letting people on here have fun with the term, and no need to start arguments and insult people over it.

I think that's pretty much the thread in a nutshell!

Yep, I'm outta here, this thread has even sunk lower than it started....

No it's not, it's about CONTROL and INSULTS and TELLING OTHERS WHAT TO DO....in short it's a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN thread!
