What does Pagan mean...

Hummm, Talon, I re-read my response and it seems like a question to me...

Is there hostility in your "voice"? I think I "hear" hostility there. Why so?

Because the responses to the query read like dictionary extractions, I am unsure if your response is what you think or just people being helpful by posting dictionary or Encylpdia exmpls.

Sterling420...

I must appologize.. for I've just gotten back here and read all the posts between you and Talon... and sadly.. It would seem I've missed all the fun! .. lmao

In my reply to you Sterling.. I gave you my opinion in the first two paragraphs... however.. I am guilty.. for the rest of the reply was based on a search.. that I took the time to do for you.. for I didn't feel that just my opinion should be taken one way or another.. thus "An Opinion".. I think people have their opinions on things and would of course not match all.. so aye... I am sorry it read like a Dictionary.. but then again.. if you think that any of us posting something other then our opinions to you is just us being helpful.. and not what you were hoping for... then perhaps.. you could do the query yourself..

These are not easy questions to answer.. and anything dealing with religion/politics, etc.. will of couse stir up some kind of disagreement/discussion.. but I've not seen much on your end.. other then you posting the same question in the most riduclious threads here... I dont see how this question even applies in say like the food forum or something like that.. which I believe Mamie pointed out to you already... So I must agree with Talon on this one.. and ask that you state what it is exactly you are trying to accomplish here?

And Talon claiming that he does not like decietful people.. certainly is not name calling.. lol.. I believe that as well is an Opinion of One.. lol. For I simply HATE decietful people.. and the list is endless.. and that to me is my opinion.. You in fact.. may not mind a Decietful person, but the fact that you took Talon's remark as a personal lash to you.. perhaps speaks louder then any words on a screen eh?

Oh.. lol.. One last thing.. If someone said to me "I should watch How I spoke to them".. lol.. Well my Dear.. that, in fact, can be taken as a threat... and I think my reply to you on that post would have been pretty much the same...

Thank you Mistress, MAY I NOT HAVE ANOTHER

Since you don't seem to understand how language works, i.e. how Talon WAS calling me decietful, and that that word be considered in most quarters "a name", then of course you would think that your friend Talon is guiltless. NO problem.

Now it's much harder to decide if you are calling me decietful, by the way the word is displayed in your posting. So, I can't say that you are being rude. I too dislike people who are decietful.

Now because you don't understand my question, or why I asked such, that doesn't make me decietful. So, I don't know what to tell ya; but I NEVER posted anything in the food section, of course you could be trying to be ironical, though at the expense of fact, which could be consider decietful, though I choose to look at your comment as your attempt at irony and hyperbole.

So, all I can say is: WHATEVER. But thanks for your imput. Now it seems as if a picture of what these "boards" are about and who people them is forming. Interesting.

Hi..

Now I know you were not either talking to me...but I just want to say a few things....

how Talon WAS calling me decietful

yes mistress I was..

Since you don't seem to understand how language works

now that is insulting...
(obviously from a literary teacher its not just insulting but also carries several gold embossed stars)
If you dont watch out it will be spelling corrections next!

that word be considered in most quarters "a name",
I think you may find it's actually just a word... a word full of expression for sure...maybe even a label at best.. but alas still purly a descriptive word..

now I know the rest of both your posts are to each other... as where them bits ..lol.. so i will just wait for my own replies..but 2 things more I wish to say... first... mistress..it would seem to me on these boards we have disagreed several times..I am surprised you are here .. or at least most surprised at that its not me your fighting with...
and secondly... sterling420...maybe you will or wont become a more active member here on s.com... but i think it would be a pity for you if you based the hundreds of other posters on this site with the differences me and you have had...like you told me...i am ignorant...something i am happy to confirm...but arent we all on the mindset of others...

Now it seems as if a picture of what these "boards" are about and who people them is forming.

egad can we please either continue discussing what pagan means or let this thread die???

Though I have to agree with Mistress and Talon on your posts.

Talon's comment was this: "I am not angry... I just dislike deceitful people... disappointed is what I am."... So... you tell me.. did he say.. "You’re a Deceitful Person?" lol.. I don't think so.. but I do see that he has posted such.. and, lmao.. Good for him! And I certainly don't need an English lesson from someone whom has forgotten the golden rule... ("I" before "E", except after "C").. lol The way I see it.. regardless of what Talon has posted since, at that point I feel he was merely stating his dislikes in ie: "A Person".. lol.. you Dear.. took that personal.. And what makes you think that Talon is My Friend? Do you know me? Perhaps you may think this because I've taken a position where I felt Talon's argument was correct.. but then again that would just be naive on your part to think that, and that I was not capable to think on my own.. and I wouldn't dare assume that you were Naive... lol

Now it's much harder to decide if you are calling me decietful, by the way the word is displayed in your posting. So, I can't say that you are being rude. I too dislike people who are decietful.

No.. I am not calling you Deceitful.. for to be honest with you.. either way... I couldn't care less...

Now because you don't understand my question, or why I asked such, that doesn't make me decietful. So, I don't know what to tell ya; but I NEVER posted anything in the food section, of course you could be trying to be ironical, though at the expense of fact, which could be consider decietful, though I choose to look at your comment as your attempt at irony and hyperbole.

I do, and did understand your original question Sterling... What I didn't understand is your backing for such a need to find out this information.. when it was being supplied to you.. but you seemed to be disagreeing with the facts.

And if you wish to get petty.. so we shall... Your question "What about the Term Celtic" and "What about the term Pegan" are posted in, not only the Religion and Belief section, but the Music & Arts, Clans, Scotland Dot Come on in, Genealogy and Language.. so.. excuse me for my "for instance".. lol.. but you must see how this question does not apply in the rest of the Threads, besides Religion and Beliefs.... lmao.. and you may look at my comment any which way you choose.. lol.. Don't worry.. I won't lose sleep over it.. hehehe

So, all I can say is: WHATEVER. But thanks for your imput. Now it seems as if a picture of what these "boards" are about and who people them is forming. Interesting.

These boards are made up of several completely different people.. Outspoken people.. people just here for some crack.. and then we have the type that have a hidden agenda.. lol.. Just was wondering what category you fell under.. lol..

Oh and Sterling.. perhaps you should involve yourself else where and in different topics.. before you pass judgment over the entire Board and all its members eh?

Hello Mamie

It would seem that perhaps this thread ... should be closed for.. Nothing that has been Stated to Sterling seems to be good enough... I know that you’re well versed on this topic.. and if I was seeking advice... your opinion would be totally appreciated.. However.. seems my post was a bit too "Dictionary Like" .. lol..

But I also agree with you.. these threads tend to take a turn off the beaten path...

lol... Good for you! ... lmao.. It sounds like we have more in common then I original thought.. lol

It is not in my interest to be fighting with you Talon, or anyone for that matter, however, I do firmly believe in taking a stand for what I think is right. Not saying that I'm always right, ..lol.. But then again.. I am a woman so.. .. Anyway, I am here because I did post a reply to sterling in the beginning of this thread, as you know. I'm not sure as to why my opinion, as well as a bit of "Searched for Material" was not adequate enough, along with your Reply and Mamie’s.. however, I should say that .. I don't really care..

There will be no disagreeing on my part with you on this one.. It would seem that I actually think you’re making a good point.. lol.. Go figure..

So.. on that note... If you care to fight some more.. lol.. I do believe it is your turn and I’m always willing to please… lmao.. and let me just say.. If you think you’re a match for Me.. well then, let the games begin..lmao..
