Sherlock Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Master Righter, Your post is very much appreciated, however, I hardly feel any of my often rambling utterances might qualify. Many thanks, sir. "'Tis always a pleasure, never a chore", as pater always says. Your humble servant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

righter Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 well we ended up over here...but the freemen issue has reared its head again in the original thread!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Mistress Righter, Indeed. I rather wish it did not become so personalized, though. There is no need to attack, insult and denigrate one another in a rational discourse. Should we not all be "friends" here? I would urge those invloved to take a deep breath, step back and consider their words wisely. Insults never once, to my knowledge, resolved a quarrel. Although, I did hear a fellow tell once how the arrow that slew Harold, at Hastings, had "cochon" inscribed thereon... Would this count? Not that I am advocating a re-enactment, obviously! In all seriousness, though, please, let all of us extend a little courtesy to those whom we address herein? Please? Your humble servant.

righter Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 oh la la la la la la...as Madame Manite would say (my daughter`s teacher in France) yes attack the argument not the arguer. civil discourse is the answer,then hopefully we can all learn something...on either "side".

klanky Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 ... the same way in which I refer to every individual whom I address herein (i.e. either Master or Mistress).At my most puerile I can't help wishing I'd chosen a user name ending in the surname "Bates" just to chuckle at the resulting construction . Incidentally, despite being "well known," the Captain Pugwash aspect of that is pure myth. Pugwash, as a pirate, was truly a Free Man...surely? (Yes, I know he is just a cartoon character and never existed but I'm referring to the C17th and C18th 'Pirate' way of life.) Ha haaaar....
