WTF is your problem dude? I'm the only person posting anything in this NG
for the past few months, trying to keep this thing alive and you come in
here are high and mighty and tell me to have good manners? If we were
knights I would slay you on the spot.

You still might wish to preface your messages with something a little
softer than "I want".

In my experience, "Tristram" is pronounced as is obvious, "Palomides" is
pronounced as Anglicized Greek, "pal-o-MEE-deez", "Bolegraunce" as
"BO-le-grahns", and the rest are pronounced as straight French.

Thanks for the info. I'm quite sad that Palomides is pronounced that way. I
was calling him "PAL-oh-myds" in my head. I don't know french, can you
pronounce those other ones for me. PLEEEASSSSEEE???

I'm not competent in French, myself. Whenever I have to sing in French,
I have to be coached on every bloody syllable.

Not honorable at all, you have to slay him in a fair duel. You DO have
bad manners.

A scoundrel like this does not deserve a fair fight. I would sooner joust
with King Mark than this buffoon.

Changing the subject a bit -- are there bad manners, or simply no
manners?

It's not a high traffic newsgroup, that much is certainly true. But
generally it is an unusually well-mannered one.

Demanding "I want" like a greedy three year old with grubby hand
outstretched towards the cakes is unlikely to gain you the result you
desire. "Could someone please" might serve your purpose much better.

And since you are female, you would not be a knight at all, but a
helpless damsel; and the only slaying taking place would be of you by
the dragon, after passing knights ignored your rude demands for protection.

Sorry, but there it is.

Perhaps she could dress up as a man and fight the king's enemies.
Unfortunetly, since she is without honor, I doubt Merlin will bail her
out when her enemies plot against her. The best she can hope for is
exile.

Since I am a noblewoman, Arthur would force you to abide my adventure. And
while we rode together toward certain death (for you, as the lewd, weak
knight that you are) you would suffer under my stern rebukes. And I would
laugh as the gayest of knights, Sir Ponce De Fons the Pink Knight, drove you
to the ground, horse and man. Then I would urge the Pink Knight to make a
battle bride of you, and defile you in a most dishonorable manner. And
before he finished you off, and you were crying for a yeild, I would rebuke
you once more and cry with delight, "Off with his head."

Tis the power of being a mere "damsel"

Careful. She could be a sorceress or witch, too. Then you'd be in
trouble!
