ArchivesRe: Okay,people.
in reply to a message by Eagle Beak 2
In her reply to your complaint, Nanaea posed a very plausible question in good will:
"What's so bad about being "domineering", anyway? A leader (including empresses) should be expected to be a little bit domineering. Perhaps if Nicolas had been a bit more dominant, Russian history might have turned out differently. "
Nanaea posed an intriguing hypothesis. Instead seizing the opportunity to constructively make your case, you unleashed an "ad hominem" attack:
"It looks like you have a "domineering" attitude yourself-a bit touchy,aren't we,dear….have a nice cup of cammomile (sic) tea and calm down a bit….Then perhaps we can both figure out why you have such a negative attitude about me."
The notion of "disrespect to dead historical personalities" is spurious and of no methodological value, unless one is raised in a totalitarian culture or is a ideological and/or religious and/or fetishistic crusader. To objective and enquiring minds there are no "holy cows," everyone is susceptible to evaluation and critique. And since your answer made it quite clear that you art not interested in debate, we all (independently of each other) seized opportunity to have some good-natured fun :P

Maybe what s/he needs is about a half hour in a relaxation and meditation class (either that or on of my "offerings", huh?) I feel that this person is way beyond a mere cup of chamomile tea (even a pot of it won't help).
By the way, speaking of offerings, what is Havana Club?

I'm sure sou can concoct something for the occasion Gaia Euphoria (allow me to keep calling you thus) :)
Havana Club is a Florida version of a Hawaian Punch...err.. actually it is my favourite brand of Cuban rum. Probably what Bacadri tasted like in the pre-Castro days. Too bad you folks cant experience due to the US-Cuba embargo. Same goes for my beloved Ramon Allones Robustos.

1. I shall try, but I don't know if the Maiden, the Matron or the Crone can, or will, help someone who is so closed-minded.
2. Concerning calling me Gaia Euphoria, I guess you may (I kinda went into a Gaia euphoria at the ritual I attended (oops :})).
3. Concerning Havana Club, thanks for the info. I'm more into some of the other liquors such as Stolichnaya Vodka, Jamesons Irish whiskey, 18-year-old single malt scotch (I forget the exact brand, but I'll let you know what it is when I find it again :D).
