Excellente explication....Merci pour tes bons mots...Cependant Je ne suis pas supérieur à personne ...Juste un peu plus informé à l'occasion c'est tout!mirage said:In defence of person who is being repeatedly threatened to be put on ignore list: I am now going to generate possible small amount of controversy.
I think we all know who you are talking about as it's been all too obvious all over this forum for a while now and way too much time and energy has been wasted on it. I am repeating what I said months before. Sticking my neck out (again) to repeat: quit taking it all so personally. Going also to give a hint as to what may be going on here and that is that said person feels very misunderstood and hurt, and in person's own mind, my guess is trying to set right perceived injustices.
I haven't known a lot of people from La Belle Provence, but what I do know is that they are more flamboyant, theatrical and easily arroused than Les Anglais counterparts. When you see egotism or aggressiveness try to see attempts at friendliness, which I think are real. The desire to be friends with his buddies is almost desperate. I think said person means well even though it comes across as otherwise.
However, having said that, it seems you guys and gals have access to emailing each other and exchange of lottery information between yourselves (the fabled "inner circle" which is the stuff of legend...) and have access to board abilities that lowly folks like myself do not have, so I don't know what secret betrayals may have gone on which don't appear on this forum.
And, my Francophone pal, no offence here. I believe in you as being perfectly capable of being very on the mark, clear and dazzling, in English, or French. (However, I have noticed your logical side seems to manifest most often when making comment or giving advice in English.) Maybe you feel, who am I to tell you what you already know? In that you have a very good mind and a talent for the numbers? But what you may not know is that you are in danger of loosing yourself in this personal popularity and defence against attack-by-others obsession. You have already proven yourself. Aren't you finding out that it's lonely at the top? Go back to the numbers, keep winning, and trust your fishing and hunting instincts.
Finally, even though I risk personal ostracism by the others on this forum, I am going to stand up for you and tell you that I personally enjoy your Quebecois personality and antics. Tu es tres amusant! (By the way, I don't speak French but my husband, who is a psychotherapist and is from Montreal, speaks a little. I'll get my husband to translate as best he can.)
Have a nice day everyone!![]()

Are you Native Atikamekw or Algonquin First Nation? If so, my complete hat is off to you. My best girl friend is married to a full blooded Iroquois. My husband's sister was married to an Iroquois, now an elder. She is still participating in her local Iroquois community. (However, the Iroquois are a very divided bunch of nations). I have a lot of respect, admiration and interest for First Nations people. First Nations peoples have completely different culture, sense of humor, and way of looking at life than Whites.
I kind of had a hunch when you said something, a way, way back about the "Thunderbird". No wonder you have been misunderstood, if this is true! Now I totally get it, as much as is possible for me to get it, though Whites can never really understand the world view of the Red man as it's in the blood. So you are 2 steps removed: by the First Nations way and then by your French heritage.![]()
1-I am laughing at my last set...2-I am much worse than you George....3-I won't say that I am humble about my failure...4-My posted sets have always demonstrated that I don't have any skills... 5-And my last set stinks!!gsobier said:Mirage:
Yes, missunderstood is quite right... ...there are many here who read posts here and get very upset with the things Dennis has expressed many times (I don't get upset like most that easy)... ...they can be insulting from a certain point of view... ...I put much thought into what I write in posts... ...when I was younger in my days at school, I myself, was much worse with peers and didn't understand why
.
Some of my rules, if you could call them are:
1. never laugh at someone else's failure
2. never tell someone you are better than they are
3. don't say you are humble too much, others will think you are not sincere
4. the posted set is what speaks and demonstrates your skill
5. you are only as good as your results from the last draw
Regards,
George![]()

I'm giving you the crown before we even start George....gsobier said:Dennis:
Lets see who does better in the next one... ...I never posted anything so you are the winner this time... ...I'll try to catch up.
Score:

We could count 2 ways like in golf, skins or stroke play.
