Too Small, and Not Vocal Enough

Mean spirited, childish, against the house rules, and fundamentally dishonest judging by the last posting from 'Violent Duplicity', who hasn't the courage to accept responsibility.

Well, given LeKZ's propensity for emails and her turn for invective - would you say "my name is xyz, and I am the HoAXer?"
I only subscribed to FoLKZ for a week or so, and the daily record of emails (either sent to me personally or CCd or BCCd) outside that time was in the region of 6 or 8. And we are talking emails which print out on 5 or 6 sheets of paper here. 30 pages of text at - say - 250 words per page equals 6000 words. Enough to stun anyone into silence.
I cannot remember what the daily count was while I was subscribed to FoLKZ, though I will sort out, re-read and review my e-MaiLZ soon.
I agree, it would be nice to know who it was: as I said, I owe them a drink. But I think that discretion is the better part of valour here. And if I HAD been the HoAXer, I would certainly be reluctant to admit it here.
But then I wasn't, so I don't have to.
So yes - the entire thing was mean-spirited and cowardly. But it was also clever, and funny, and given how many people LeKZ frightens when she is here, it was not very surprising at all.
The worm turns, and all that jazz.

I WOULDN'T have done it in the first place.
Clever and funny don't go in the same sentence as clever and funny for me.

oops, that'll teach me to read.
Clever and funny don't go in the same sentence as cowardly and mean spirited, for me anyway.
And I meant *wouldn't*.
Don't know who I could have picked this 'capitals for emphasis' habit up from...

More work- I'll add you later.
You'd only been going a month when I wrote the page though. I probably hadn't yet cottoned on that it existed.

People have been warned for the same, in more public places - but it looks like sie got away with it amongst friends

There should be a funny punishment for something like that -- like hitting people over the head with a styrofoam hammer or such...
