Clearly-only on the trains.com railroad forum would one find arguments over a "dead" language.

You guys forgot:

1. Whino moderati - running and whining to the moderators claiming to be offended simply because a topic conflicts with your POV.

2. Roccia diretta - refusing to look at the bigger picture, claiming someone has gone out of context simply because there is only one narrow aspect of a subject that you are willing to acknowledge

3. bambino che odia l'auto - trying to imply that ones critics need to be perfect themselves before they may take exception to some aspect of your argument.

Hey AG, Maybe you or someone could turn those latin phrases into smilie faces. Each smilie would represent the discription listed after the latin phrase. Everyone could in insert their favorate smilies, a short worded diatribe and then move on.

Oh, and for the record, if you have never experienced mud from northern Maine, then you don't have a horse in this race.
