And what was your own position on that game?

Mike

[Henk]

I joined the game, so I'm not sensible. But I might stop with it  .

[Elgarian]

Is being sensible a Good Thing?

[Henk]

It's probably not about good or wrong. But it's obvious you have less attention to listening to music.

Henk

[karlhenning]

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right.

Just beat it . . . .

There's a Dutch saying: "keep the sensible for the dumb".

[Elgarian]

The carpet? The egg? The system? The clock? Time?

That sounds sensible to me... er, no, I mean .... 

[Opus106]

Is this sensible?

for those of you long-time Gmail-ers who might feel some separation anxiety, we've got a solution. Just go to Settings, click on Labs, turn on "Back to Beta," and it'll be like Gmail never left beta at all.

It seems to take the meaning of 'sensible' to dizzy new depths.

The reason why this forum is so good is when there's a conflict between two members nobody mind about it  . The conflict then vanishes. But as a consequence of the conflict, as in all things, power relations take shape, which is of course a good thing.

Smile when you say that.

[Henk]

I edited the message .

[Elgarian]

Has there been an important conflict that I missed? (I tend to go for the quiet life, myself.)

See thread "schoolgirl crushes", a conflict between me and DavidW about editing messages which got a different turn.

Henk

[DavidW]

I don't consider that a conflict, I simply voiced my complaint.

[Henk]

Come on, you say I manipulate people here, that I'm not honest. After explaining you arguing wrong about the editing discussion, you try to make me ridiculous and bully me.

[DavidW]

You're really blowing everything out of proportion, you seem very upset.  I didn't insult you, nor did I bully you.  There's no reason to get so upset.  I bear you no ill will.

Ouch. Sorry, sorry - I had no idea I was acting as a catalyst for all this reopening of wounds. Is it possible to stop it escalating again? (To this detached observer, this looks more like a series of misunderstandings, rather than actual harm being intended by anyone.) Anyway - my apologies for inadvertently relighting the fuse.

Well if I had known how easily Henk's feelings are hurt I wouldn't have said anything!
