MELIN: The real truth

The Minority European Language Informtaion Network is a project designed to establish a centralised World Wide Web site for the provision of language resources to users of minority and lesser-used languages in the EU. The website initially caters for 4 languages - Irish, Welsh, Catalan and Basque and contains resources for each language.

Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.

When did you become such a troll, Alph?

You’ve got a hard on for this whole Melin thing the same way John John did about Hilary Clinton’s ass.

At the risk of keeping this here longer than it needs to be. Alpha, for the love of God, why are you so pathologically unable to let the matter rest!!

We’ve mostly moved on, the other threads were starting to sink, then you had to sart a complete new one, with the pretext of having found something that might amuse someone. Give it up! Anyone who has any interest in the matter has seen your opinions in every thread on the matter, find a new rant. You’re starting to get really boring and predictable.

Hmm. Is this the guy who said, ‘let it be?’


Oh come on, Ursa , I did it because I knew people would see the title, roll their eyes all the way back into their head and have a reply all ready in their head. I did it because I knew I’d fake everyone out.

I’m taking a piss out of all of you. It’s not just that a topic is being beat to death. The whole thing’s damn goofy. Go ahead and take it seriously if you want.

Face it, you came in here all angry and serious and probably increased your blood pressure. Over nothing. Exactly.

I’m guilty of no longer taking this whole ordeal seriously and laughing at those who do. Sue me.

Besides, the thousands of people who speak Catalan probably appreciate the PR.


Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.
Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.

Not good enough, Alpha. That was just lame. And no, my blood pressure did not go up from reading the thread title.

I don’t buy it either, Alpha.

It was cheap, it was tawdry, and it was juvenile.

Way, way below your usual standards.


Fuck it. I’m laughing along with Alphagene.

I thought it was funny and I’m not even drunk.

I guess I may be tawdry, then or whatever. I’m cracking up.


I gather rain…

Well, let’s just say that what Alpha gives in humour, he takes away with lousy timing.

Last week, I would have laughed. This week, I groaned.

In Alpha’s own words: So sue me.


At the risk of turning this into a Great Debate, count me among those who thought it funny.

Not funny in the least. Alpha, you’ve done much better.

I found it mildly humourous. I’d give it a “three and a half snicker” rating on a scale of one smirk to 5 guffaws.

:::Trying to steer clear of Melin controversy:::

I actually thought the MELIN website was very interesting. I like reading about languages, especially some of the European ones not in general use, like Basque, Welsh, and Catalan. Thanks, Alpha, it answered some questions I had regarding spoken Basque.
