a sense of correction

It is taking longer and longer to download that one so here's a new one. I am also getting lost in it and finding it too tame now that everyone's buying each other pints and talking (tongue-)snogging and stuff.
your story, Vox, is very exemplary of what I said before about "negotiation of meanings and negotiation of relations". even an inoffensive word like "silly" can vary its effects according to intonation or emphasis, or what's more exciting, in certain contexts. I have to restrain myself from using the word "bloody" for instance, when I am in front of certain dear ones. That used to piss me right off, but as a sign of social respect I have now accepted it (but that has given me the chance to use it more strategically and more effectively!).
going back to the original source of this discussion I'll say the topic has veered off a wee bit. The cool non-cringing razor penguin has seen his chance to escape from admitting he is finally going to become a vegetarian.

Actually, I've decided to never eat another living thing again because of the crushing guilt I feel at existing at others' expense.
Seriously, though, I'm a little bummed out & depressed at the moment because it seems that my heavy participation in the forums this week has gotten me into hot water at work. My job is in jeopardy & I'm pretty stressed about it, no joke. I'll have to do some damage control on Monday and may not be heard from much for a while. It's amazing how paranoid employers can get about this stuff. If they see you on the Net at all they get pissed off, no matter how hard you work otherwise. Anybody else have problems with this? Here we go off on another tangent, eh?
May not be able to participate in this discussion much if it takes off. Bye for now!
