Pooh, I am aware that the thread has moved on.

I questioned why there is no result in it's original purpose: the contest.
I offered my opinion as to why.

What I get in return are judgement calls on my mood, my intelligence and my sanity. By people who don't know me or who should know better. And who are not qualified to do so for reasons I won't go into to prevent feelings of inferiority.

And I do really like your "High Noon" saga, even if I only just found out about it. Today is my first time on this thread.

Who questioned your intelligence or your sanity?

The "judgement calls" are only being made to urge you to lighten up, forget the contest, and enjoy the saga. Who knows if/when an iPad will be given away. Why get upset over something free? If it happens, great, if not - let's have some fun anyway!
Besides I haven't yet worked a lot of people into the saga yet - more installments on the way!

Vintage Season, when people start explaining how the thread has moved on to me, it is an insult to my intelligence and sanity. I can read and I accept reality. You made a judgement call about my mood. Still wrong.

Pooh, I am not upset. I was fooling around, being a sarcastic bastard. Okay?

OK with me. Let's play!

Pssst! You're opening yourself to lawsuit.

Well - since I haven't (yet) received a "cease & desist take-down order" from the hero of the saga, I shall venture boldly on.

In the (rare) case where I thought I might tread on a tender toe, I have PM'ed and gotten permission to lambaste the character! Everyone wants to be famous - and this is the closest most of us will ever get to being on TV!

Wait... did I miss something? Who's the hero of the story? Must be me! (in my imaginary imaginations!)

j/k. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next segment!

Yes, I made a judgement call about your mood. From my perspective it didn't seem out of line with anything you had said... but I freely apologize if my words offended, or were interpreted as anything other than the lighthearted riposte I intended.

Pax?

Pax, Vintage Season.

Mutual misunderstanding.

Hey, Pooh!
Is a "cease and desist" legalese for "a taser to the huevos"?

Yes! Like ShortNCuddlyAm who hid you away all those weeks behind her avatar when everyone was crying for fried chicken! Not one mention! What kind of gratitude is that?

Am, if you're offended by his oversight, I be a made up lawyer. We can take his his feathered butt to an imaginary court!

Instead of hero, perhaps I should have said "target" or "victim"?

I can only type so fast! And so long! If I had an iPad I could type an installment wherever I was.

Don't worry - I'm planning major plot lines for everyone! Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Now everyone pipe down! I have to concentrate!

Methinks I caught you in a paradox/oxymoron/and other words with x's.

That would be my real imaginary name, as opposed to my imaginary imaginary name.

Hrmmm... d'you reckon there's enough chocolate in the world to help me cope with the trauma of it all?
