9:58 am

periwinkle

hi all do not see li8 or li9

9:58 am

cybernan

hello bear

9:58 am

hurshy

what do you mean, TO?

9:58 am

cybernan

how is that, to?

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

clue for tr 9.

9:59 am

hurshy

it's just a fact

10:00 am

cybernan

oh - you mean the one that was actually for a tr 8?

10:00 am

72 Temple Owl

yes but not relevant to game. sorry for having my opinionn - and getting stats wrong.

10:00 am

MummyBear

tins

10:00 am

MummyBear

sorry

10:00 am

periwinkle

help with li8 or li9 pls

10:01 am

cybernan

it was me that got the stats wrong

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

back to playing without chog, which is where i am usually thiese days.

10:01 am

hurshy

clues don't have anything to do with the game a lot of the time, we just clue examples from wherever we happen to think of them.

10:01 am

hurshy

if a clue involved the boston tea party would that be political?

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

my bad for voicing my opinion. one cannot do that anymore without someone pointing out that you are ...wrong, ignorant, bigoted, racist, etc etc etc

10:03 am

hurshy

TO, debating the point doesn't mean you weren't supposed to voice your opinion, it just means i believe people are allowed to discuss things and try to make persuasive arguments about what they believe. i didn't call you any of those things.

10:04 am

cybernan

sorry - I just happen to think there was a good "white man" was called "two-faced" and that it is a part of our history not to be proud of

10:04 am

cybernan

*good reason

10:07 am

MummyBear

does anyone have a clue for one of the h's in the top right

10:07 am

cybernan

I have very little patience with anyone who lies or does not live up to their word.

10:07 am

hurshy

to answer my own question, since the boston tea party was explicitly a political act, then a clue that referred to it could be considered political. but nobody would care because it seems to be something in the past whose results are settled and about which nobody seems to have any ongoing bad feelings.

10:07 am

mael

That white americans rarely held up their end of the bargain with native americans is not political, it's the truth.

10:07 am

hurshy

yes mummy bear, in golf you hope to get a ho4-in-one!

10:08 am

hurshy

it's a political AND it's the truth.

10:09 am

periwinkle

not getting the li9 even with the clue

10:09 am

hurshy

i think the problem isn't that it's political, as the boston tea party example shows. it's that it is a truth that makes some people uncomfortable to think about.

10:09 am

hurshy

same here, peri

10:09 am

mael

calling things political is an easy way to ignore the feelings they invoke, like shame

10:09 am

hurshy

right which is why i think we should define more precisely what we are actually saying.

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

i will refrain from taking the bait and exit.

10:10 am

hurshy

i could see where some people would not want babble to be a place where they experience strong negative emotions, because it is a game, maybe an escape.

10:10 am

cybernan

li 9 begins with a metric measurement (usa sp) + preposition + latin ending

10:10 am

hurshy

it's not bait, TO! it's a discussion!

10:10 am

mael

I don't mean to bait. I think we should all examine why we don't feel like we can engage in certain subjects in good faith

10:11 am

72 Temple Owl

i do not want a discussion. i just want a peaceful haven

10:11 am

cybernan

oh my goodness - didn't mean to start an argument with my clue

10:11 am

mael

you're the one who brought up politics, TO

10:13 am

hurshy

personally, i find that experiencing uncomfortable emotions is just a valuable part of the human experience. but there have been times when i've seen people engaging in heated arguments in chat where i was NOT in the mood for dealing with that. so, i might decide to not chat or even turn off the chog for a bit, but, not because i don't people should be talking that way, but just cause it's not for me at that moment.

10:13 am

mael

I agree, hurshy

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

what do you want me to do, mael? i have stated i am wrong to wvoice my opinion. i don't wven really know you. this is why i do not usually do so.

10:13 am

MummyBear

thanks hurshy for the clue

10:13 am

hurshy

but that doesn't make me think that i need to stay away from the chog all the time or most of the time, so i hope you won't think that either, TO.

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

this is so out of hand.

10:14 am

hurshy

TO, i think the problem we have is that we DON'T agree that you were wrong to voice your opinion. at least that's how i feel.

10:15 am

mael

you could have ignored the clue if it bothered you: calling it politicized was a statement you made, which you were free to make! but then people should be free to engage with that.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

bloofy hell

10:15 am

hurshy

cnan, your li9 clue got me an 8 not a 9 ... did i use the wrong preposition?

10:15 am

mael

again, you don't have to engage! but saying you don't want to deal with anything "political" is not not engaging

10:15 am

cybernan

a two letter preposition

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

well, this shoudl give the busibodies something to talk about.

10:16 am

periwinkle

nan it got me anli8 too but not the li9

10:16 am

hurshy

ok so the metric measure is 5, the prep is 2, the latin ending is 1, that makes 8

10:16 am

cybernan

oi try this: measurement + article + Mr. Horton

10:17 am

hurshy

ahhhhhhhhh yay thanks!

10:17 am

periwinkle

ah never would have thought of that ending. ty nan for li9

10:17 am

MummyBear

instead of asking what bloofy means cause this is the wrong time in an argument ill use google dictionary

10:17 am

mael

alas, I know no Mr. Hortons!

10:18 am

hurshy

mummy bear, you won't find it in the dictionary, it's a typo. lol

10:18 am

hurshy

mael it's a restaurant in canada, you can google

10:18 am

mael

10:18 am

MummyBear

10:18 am

MummyBear
