... and not in a good way. Tangents are fine but "playground stuff" as my friend calls it isn't, and it's hardly fair that the Eds have to prune. I regret my part in it. I shall redouble my efforts not to end up playing any part in it. If anyone sees me taking a bait in future please shoot me.

Anyone else want to sign the pledge?!

I've loaded up Nigel and have a full box of cartridges on standbye :-)

I will do my best

As I haven't conspired to argue, don't need to take the pledge, but will..came across these words this morning on FB which has an aptness to such skirmishes - just hold your tongue ;)


When we convene again
to understand the world,
the first speaker will again
point silently out of the window
at the hillside in its season,
sunlit, under the snow,
and we will nod silently,
and silently stand and go.

—Wendell Berry, Those Awake
