Sounds bad. I'll keep you in prayer.

 

[BobVigneault]

Knowing you as I do brother Bill, I was frightened to look when I saw your thread title. I was greatly relieved.

 

[Reformed Covenanter]

Congratulations

 

[BobVigneault]

Ooooops! Sorry James, I somehow got the impression that this thread was started by Bill (Bad Bill, Bodacious Bill, Wild Bill) Brown. Please accept my humble apology.

As you you Bill, I'm gonna keep thinking of more titles of derision. I don't even know why... except that it's fun.

Sorry James.

(PS, thank you Vic for pointing out my displaced attack.)

"Obstinate" (contained in one of the definitions) is also a good one.

Also add:

recalcitrant

obstreperous
