I guess I need to go back to school to find out the proper context of when to use certain words.....Thanks alot Bradley U.........For nothing.....

For better and worse, the anonymity provides many open and honest opinions that would not otherwise be made public. Of course, there is a negative to it and it's unfortunate that you and others felt wronged by it and are subjected to it.

Fan, Fan , Uh where is Fan ? what have they done with Fan?

peace to you,

You can go through all 3856 posts of mine. You will find that I've never openly slandered or defamed one person on here....other than Jombl, Fish, the Artens and that jag, Clamato.

OK...I get a little busy and I miss the good stuff. Someone with my email address please fill me in. I knew IMJ was evil, I just want to see the proof.

Well, it started with an ad somewhere - from the ad he surmised a possible relationship between the advertiser and the organization beyond the purely commercial.

It was the use of the word, 'supposedly', in communicating the inferred relationship between the individual and the organization publishing the circular that provoked.

I have no doubt that he now wishes he had checked the parish rolls rather than publicly displayed his ignorance of advertisers in a handout.

Parish Rolls? Are those the things that were discovered in the 1950s in some cave in the West Bank?

Who can read those things anyways?

No. But they can be found at Flour Barrel...

Perhaps then he shouldn't have been so quick to add a qualifying word to his guess, all he would have needed to do is drive over, wake somebody and ask,

"I was writing this sentence, and I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that if this guy takes an ad out here he might even be a member, I mean supposedly most people that do put ads in this are members, right?"


See, then he would have known the answer and not had to use a qualifier to indicate his uncertainty.

And for you guys picking on my use of qualifier words, "BARNACLES!" I say to you. I use qualifying words when I don't know for sure. I'm not anybody official, here just a voter.

They didn't teach English well at the basic level at Bradley. They assumed we got that in high school. Fortunately, I had a militant writing teacher who beat grammar into us at Wheaton Central.

Go Braves!!!!!!

Let it go fish........I know it is like a hook in your mouth and it is hard to let go of, but let it go...

Kevin and I have moved on, we are beyond it, and it is now a new day......As RK once said, can't we all just get along.......except for clam....I hope your car finds a pothole on GE Place and never comes back out....

LOL you overly-sensitive Sig!!

I'll never forget the day when the Sense of Humor Department lost its accreditation at Bradley University. It was a sad day in Peoria. It was a sadder day for the world.

Who is sensitive, I really hope your car finds the largest pothole on your street!!!!!!

I really don't.....it is just for comedic purposes....I have to qualify everything now....

Of course you have moved on! You were the slanderer. The slanderee is the one who will suffer forever.

slanderee?

Did this come out of a U of I dictionary?

Fine, I'll use the more commonly accepted term, victim.

Boy, if that's not one of our dark little secrets. I know far more people than one would expect within the parish that really do attend church outside St. Pet's. They don't feel welcome.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? I have a neighbor who felt the same way and switched to St. James. I've been at Pets for three years and haven't noticed the same thing. But then again, I "only" go to Church there. I haven't tried to get involved yet with any of the ministries. Maybe if I was more of a "social climber" I'd care. But all the parishoners (upper crust types and otherwise) I've met have been nothing but friendly.
