Yes, Milady, passing on the ball is indeed the basic idea behind this thread.
May I explain why I rather not use your official boardname ?
Firstly, "Zecke" in German is a bloodsucking
little insect that is feared for transmitting meningitis, a tick in English as "babylon" tells me. For sure, nothing I would ever want
to associate with you, Milady.
Secondly, and even worse, "Zecke" is also the
inhumane "nickname" that neofascistic youth groups have for any youth they consider to be "left" like punks, etc.. Once in a while these groups like to engage in something they call "Zeckenjagd", "tick hunt" : they seek out someone that fits their definition of a "Zecke", then chase him down and beat him up
(usually up to a point that their victim needs to hospitalized if not worse). Of course, they only do that if there is not anybody around who is even easier to victimize like ethnic minorities, homeless, handicapped ... .
Sorry to depress you !
It almost 2 a.m. here, I am off to bed.
So long,
Ramon
