I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing

Exactly, Gumi!
O.N. (Old Norse) remains the foundation of all contemporary Germanic languages.
Swedish on the other hand, like German, appears to have borrowed even more extensively from the French than often admitted ("fonstret"/das Fenster > la fenetre, cf. highfallutin

English "to defenestrate") = to throw out of the window LOL

Yes, it is still very amusing but...

one technical problem I have in the forum is its crazy search system which lists search results according to some messed up algorythm.
E.g, I want to return to the Polish Army thread after a month or two. It is obvious I don`t remember its full name or where it is exactly. So I search for the word ARMY and the thread I need is listed as 31, at the end of the list. Why so far instead of at the very beginning if it is the newest of all??

I lose a lot of time doing such searches. Can sth be done with it?

Yeah, stop searching old threads and digging them up again!
What is wrong with you?

It isn`t old. You posted in it 30 minutes ago. Don`t you remember??? :):):)

It is.
You are just a gravedigger.

Stop creating tall stories. The thread about the Polish army is quite popular, no need for gravedigging.


Nope, I am an educator and proud of it. :):):)

Really?
More BS from.the monkey!
You revived it.
The last post on there, before you revived it,was by you and was two weeks ago!!
I call that a dead thread!
Gravedigger!

That`s one crazy attitude. :):):) Two weeks is nothing for us.

Two weeks without a post is a dead thread.
And who are us?

Us means Polish forum community. It is funny you feel so alienated.

No it doesn't.
It means you and one or two of your followers.

It's true. PF is elitar but not always egalitar.

Elitar isn `t importar, what matters is that it muss be fraternitar und libertar.

Yes, I have. A few other posters have noticed it, too.
Yes, it is true - war changes people. After Ukraine, Poland is first to fight against Russia. As always.
I suddenly realised I don`t have time that I used to have before. Now we can`t be sure if we have to go to war tomorrow or next week. As a teacher who needs to give example to my students, I will join the military service on the first day of national mobilisation.

That is why I decided I need to take my velvet gloves off and make short work of my opponents in the forum. No more mercy. Either you accept the basic principles which are in my agenda and you are with me or you don`t and you are against me. In war times the perception of the world and people in it becomes zero-one or black and white. If you aren`t with me, you are against me. Simple.

My primary standards which I stick to:
- rejection of Russian imperialism
- full liberation of women, including pro choice option
- full rights to minorities like LGBT+
- Poland anchored in the EU
- PiS gangsters have to leave

If you support those principles. you are with me. If not, get lost and I will treat you as you deserve.

Remember, it is not my natural life attitude but the one I adopted in war time.

@pawian
Take some tea to calm down. There is no war (in Poland).

Today.
But there is still tomorrow. I am old enough to care about it. You, younger generation, live for the day. I can`t blame you coz I was the same when younger.


Thousands or even millions, also many guys here, had claimed there wouldn`t be war in Ukraine and that Russia only played bluff.
Can you tell us what it ended with?

@pawian
I think, russians get such whips in Ukraine that they won't attack anybody else for now.

Yes, you do.
And others, too.
While life takes its own course. As always.:):):)
I can`t blame you. You remind me of myself when younger. Thanks. :):):)

Alien is old now.

Maybe but you reason like a 20 year old. :):):)

Thank you for your compliment.

Actually, it wasn`t, in the light of our exchange. :):):)

Oh, not good, I was complimented by accident😭😱.

Don`t complain Some of the greatest inventions were made by accident. E.g., wine.

Thank God !!!

Wow! The forum home page shows posts hours old, instead of days.

That`s what I like. More energy! Give us more meat!

Sth has just occured to me: Admin who is Polish keeps this forum running for so many years coz it is his peculiar way of keeping up to date with Poland and Polish matters.

Did you ever wonder if there is a #2, an assistant, a replacement? Just in case Vincent loses interest or worse?

THBOMK he has already resigned from his supervisor`s position.
