 Shall we take this up privately, then?

Sorry, I am only accepting actual apologies. 

I must say that I am rather embarrassed about this and may well sulk about it for a few days. 

I guess that what I didn't like was the abrupt announcement. Could future grievances be made in a more graceful way?

You guys have the right spirit about game rules. Keep it light. It's just a game.

BUT-

If you feel the need to clarify something this is the thread to do it in.

In the case of the definition game, I did not quite get the gist of a complaint about tautology, which can mean:

Tautology (rhetoric), a self-reinforcing pretense of significant truth
Tautology (grammar), the use of redundant words
Tautology (logic), a universal truth in formal logic
Tautology (rule of inference), a rule of replacement for logical expressions

I think the complainant may have been objecting to using a previously defined word to define another word, which I had done several words back, thinking it was a funny way to keep the game rolling. Maybe I was mistaken.

This is where we can discuss some of the rules of the games, some of which may evolve during the play.

_{Personally, I feel that the rule announcement was somewhat vague and  possibly uncalled for, especially in large red letters. Should we discuss such changes or clarifications in another thread?}

I hope you did smashingly!

Did you get an aha breakthrough moment, where you knew you could do it?

Beautiful song. You know, if you sing it some parts of Boston everyone around you will just stand there and bawl their eyes out. I remember wandering around Faneuil Hall one evening and some lovely irish tenor was singing it in a bar and even the people outside (where I was) stopped and cried.

I only have one thing to say about today's weather here: G'ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
