So #41 is chopped liver?

To: Rashputin; ebb tide; Jeff Chandler
This is intended primarily for the one primarily addressed, who made the below comment, but addressed to two others for reason I made mention of those names while touching upon comments made. Feel free to skip over or ignore this note, if you not be him;

That reply #41 addressed to you, said;

Which reply itself was to your own comment #36 addressed to ebb tide, which reads;

So we see there was a misplaced comment, do we not? That would allow one to say, as is seen in reply to a comment #36 here; "I don't understand what you are babbling..." ... in their own opinion characterizing the less-than-clear message found there as "babbling", which one can do regardless, for it comments upon a message itself (words being said) rather than more narrowly upon a person.

That said, let us take a look to see if it can be reasonably determined, just what was likely to have been intended for Herr Ebb Tide (as you addressed that person).

The time-stamp given at the your own comment at #35 is 3:05:08 PM.

Right above that, which is again your own comment, at #34 the time stamp there is 3:03:47 PM which is a time difference of 00:01:21 or possibly otherwise expressed as --- one minute, twenty-one seconds. Are you with me so far?

At that less the a minute-and-a-half previous than your own next comment, you had said to another, having addressed (or misaddressed as the case may be) that comment to Jeff Chandler, saying there;

which if is not "getting personal" I'm not sure what, but if the other comment inquired after as to if "chopped liver" if not possibly that (nothing against butchers, mind you) could leave your own, immediately above highlighted comment --- what --- mashed potatoes?

If so, little spoonfuls of those appear to my own eyes (figuratively speaking of course) to have been flung not only around the room as a child sitting in a 'high-chair' may carelessly do, but more like a better aimed flinging that a juvenile might do.

So how about you? Do you like fried liver (with grilled onions) and a side of mashed potatoes (with gravy)?

I do, but lot's of people don't like liver, chopped or no, and I'd prefer to not have it flying around the room, being wasted, unless it's like -- part of the show or something, like part of the entertainment such as at one of those Renaissance-restaurant,live-action dinner theaters, with jousting and damsels (in low-cut peasant blouses, hey!) and plenty of ale to wash it all down.

While we are here at the table talking about food (chopped liver, mashed potatoes, etc.) let us consider that it be quite a lot to ask of anyone in position of moderator of this at times quite contentious 'forum' (sub-forum of FR) absolute or God-like perfection in all which they do. In the vernacular -- "cut them some slack"?

Meaning -- if there is any mistake, let us all freely extend grace, particularly those of us who could otherwise be known as being guilty with a prior, which I'll confess does include myself --- but sitting in on this very forum for years --- I've seen a lot of "food-fights" and know well enough who has long demonstrated tendency towards flinging what.

The innocent act just doesn't fly. Not near as good as them taters' did. Ya' got away with tossing those.

leaving I don't know how many pork chops for the "Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate", that order may be [figuratively] afforded, or if in the end they'll just be told to "eat their peas", which ebb tide's inquiry as to "what much compassion has Francis shown...[them]?" started the ball rolling (if I can shift metaphor -- but if not --- just moosh the 'taters into proper shape?).

But what now appears on our plates as it were -- but indications of there being disputation and disagreement as to that moderator-of-moderators within Roman Catholicism, Francis himself, does or does not do in his [perceived by many or desired by some] own role there, as "moderator"?

Could we leave the more localized RM more out of the public criticism loops, on these pages? On another thread today -- I saw something of the same (but there ---taking it further). That sort of thing can be highly destructive to this forum. Thank you (if you have read this far).
