I notice that several of the posters here have difficulty with creative
replies, cutting commentary, razor like wit and rhetoric. I'm not certain if
it's due to laziness, lack of creative ability or vacationing script
writers...... but I am about to propose a solution. I wish to assemble the
best of the best.... those posters which consistently provide the audience
with a penned performance worth their time.

We can offer a service to those who feel overwhelmed and under fire to have
their replies written for them. At a reasonable fee you would be able to
secure the service of a select few of the very best the NG has to offer to
take up verbal warfare and allow a chance at redemption.

Yes... indeed..... I propose we select by vote....

Hired haranguers? I can see it now. Mooron opens with an Ewok gambit to Booby's genitals. Booby then offers Mooron a contract to
reply to his own attack. Mooron, sensing an easy victory, accepts the challenge. He then counters for Booby by whacking himself
upside the head with an empty Overproof bottle. Mooron then replies by poking himself in the eye with a sharp stick. The mayhem
continues until Mooron collapses in upon himself and disappears in a black hole. Booby then refuses to pay the estate, claiming
that Mooron, in counter-striking with an empty bottle instead of a full one, committed fraud.

Capt. Mooron hung up in kelp,
Oxygen depleted, he needs your help.
Perhaps the League will aid his cunning,
Replace his flag with better bunting.
Brain damaged, he's a bore,
Too proud to see, my metaphor.


"Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ...
The very fact you sank to mentioning
physical violence precludes you from application to the League. I wouldn't
ever elect myself to be within the League of Extraordinary Haranguers....
I'm comfortable knowing I'm just not that witty or cunning. I expect that I
may have to hire them to give you your comeuppance.

Enjoy the grievous belittling you are heaping on me now.... once the league
is formed you will be cowering in fear.

Gilligan

Tadpole


Perception is a funny thing. I never see Taddy as a haranguer...I see him gracefully and politely chide those who need it. By
the same token, Donal's benevolent reminders could never be thought of as harangues. The man is far too paternalistic to fit
that description. Gilligan, also, does not fit the definition. An orator, yes. A man of epic thought. Harangue? No. The
true master of haranguing on this ng can be obly one person. That person is Mooron. There is no other that can lead a harangue
as well as he, and his nags are enough to drive many to despair. I elect Mooron.

Er-r-r-r Kitty... If I'm the only one, It can't be a "League" and the
spot of "The Lone Haranguer" is already spoken for. At any rate you are a
poor judge since you have never suffered at the hands of Donal, Gilligan or
Tadpole! They utilize the ancient art of Polite Harangueing.... it's
deadly! I'm not in their league of abilities.

I nonetheless thank you for submitting my name. I must however decline the
nomination.

element of Truth!
