it's insulting to use Duchess' site as it suits you and yet deem it a waste of time.

Racists are a waste of my time. I am interested in the criminal case discussion and don't feel discussing THAT is a waste of my time, which is why I continue.

you don't get it do you? insulting Duchess' site while you in fact use it, is tacky for a guest here to do. do you go to others' houses for dinner, enjoy the food, but tell the host the rest of the house is ugly?

Thank you but, it's okay. It's more important to me that everyone be able to say what they want with no repercussions.

i didn't imply any repercussions at all. merely voiced my opinion about rude guests.
as she is free to voice hers about Mock while she enjoys it.

I was going to make a wise crack about your gun but I think I better refrain from doing so.

If the people of the house in question, allowed verbal abuse directed at me, along with blatant racism, I might say ... "as long as these people are welcome here, I don't feel inclined to want to visit again," yes. That's not an insult to the welcoming homeowner. It's a personal choice regarding who I choose to associate with, which differs from the people the homeowner befriends.

I like Dutchess. I like you for that matter. I realize it's popular to shit on me here, so that may change. But for now, that's where I stand.

'Dutchess'


DUCHESS.

it's right in front of you.

Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.

oh, she can't spell either.

(02-15-2011, 01:48 PM)Lady Cop Wrote: oh, she can't spell either.

Dutchess was the common spelling, prior to the late 1800's, which may explain why it's still used from time to time. Shakespeare spelled it "Dutchesse." Dutchess, also refers to various towns/cities. So, in various context Dutchess, Duchesse, Dutchesse etc. may all be correct Perhaps someone here has a thing for Fergie? Or Shakespeare? Or both?

Regardless, I don't pride myself on spelling. Especially while typing quick replies in heated conversations. I do take to correcting people who like to correct me, however.

The fewer letters the better I say, Duchess it is!

blah blah blah. the correct name was right in front of you. the end. instead of arguing all day like with 'basque', just let it ride. you made a boo-boo that anyone else would laugh at instead of trying to justify it with a historical treatise.
spelling is my fetish, i have a thread about it. but for 2011 i gave up torturing my friends around here. hahaha

History is my fetish.

True, the correct spelling (in this case) was in front of me, but I'm responding quickly, vs. carefully. Much like those who claim to be "lauging" at me. Like I said, the word Duchess has varied spellings, depending upon the context. I'm not wrong to point that out. In fact, even a spelling stickler like yourself, can learn from this insight. Speaking of, I don't recall your correcting others spelling here? Then again, I've not combed the threads looking, either.

My sincere apologies to Duchess for misspelling her anonymous internet pseudonym. All better now?

as i stated, i stopped torturing my friends with their spelling. but in your case i made an exception since you insulted MOCK, in which i am quite invested.



spelling is my fetish, history is my passion. along with criminology.

Once again, I've explained the context of my comments using your at my place for dinner scenario. I've indicated that it was your rude guests, that I have an issue with. I think Duchess gets it? However, if you're planning to continue badgering me for a perceived insult, let me know now and I'll leave immediately. Then again, you could just ban me and get it over with in an instant.

i don't ban people unless they break the cardinal rules. i've only had to do it once.
