Brilliant, FineYoungSinger, nope, we're not stopping this crusade.
This isn't a wake, after all.

As we fancy moos and acks,
and turkey necks and chicken backs,
we simply adore the joyful caw
of that silly, zany, singing jackdaw.
As we wait for word or sign
of his return, we must resign
to not let up on our crusade
In public's square we'll seek out aid.
in our resolve we must hold fast
that this jackdaw is unsurpassed!

Wrapped up? You lost me, Bhaskar
But the flowers will bloom and the sun will shine again.
Because Blogit took our sunshine away
when they took our Dave

We'll sing a happy song
of Jack
now that Jack is back
no more sadness, no more gloom
nor doom
We'll party til the cows come home
and rock the halls of Blogit

with sadness or dismay!

Until then, we shall rhyme away!

Hello, Bhaskar.ing, Thank you
It's true. If only.

All happy heads will sway

I actually agree with you, E,
I don't want to jinx anything by saying too much, but like I've said before he's not going to go quietly into this good night, not without a sendoff.

I want to share your optimism, but mark2556, has been here for years, and has never seen anyone reinstated - however, ther's a 1st time for everything -

posted by Enigmatic68 on November 1, 2007 at 7:37 PM | link to this | reply

Enigmatic, there still may be some hope to negotiate and reinstate him.
I don't know, there may be something in the works. I guess we'll know soon.

I'm truly baffled - someone got booted, a while back, but I totally understood (and agreed with), the reason - this time, as I stated, I'm at a total loss...

posted by Enigmatic68 on November 1, 2007 at 7:30 PM | link to this | reply

Enigmatic, thank you for a compliment.

I think it's right to stand up for a friend, and speak up for them when they can't speak for themselves.

It's also the principle.  If this can happen to Dave, it can happen to anyone, without any real reason or explanation, other than the one Blogit made up.  That isn't what I signed up for,and I don't think anybody did.

It is strange how "happy" annoys some people, Antonio
The thing I like about the happy jackdaw is he's consistently able to fly above the grumpiness of others, maybe even fly circles around them.  That must stick in their craw, eh?

posted by Zena77 on November 1, 2007 at 3:48 PM | link to this | reply

Great idea, Zena.
It is a well-chosen name. The word 'happy' sums it up. Strange how 'happy' can annoy people. S.O.D. 

posted by Antonionioni on November 1, 2007 at 3:45 PM | link to this | reply

It's Winston, I love it, Antonio! I'll tell you some other time why I love
Winston so much.  I've decided to make The Happy Jackdaw the name of my blog. Just because .Dave should not be forgotten and I hope Blogit realizes and admits they've made a mistake and brings him back.

Hi Zena

Well done to you and everyone else for keeping the issue of injustice alive. Will be in touch.

Save Our Dave

posted by Antonionioni on November 1, 2007 at 3:34 PM | link to this | reply

Eyeshaveears, I know they do. It means a lot to him
The support, love, frustration of all of his friends matters a great deal to him.  Not only personally, but to get Blogit to swallow some pride, admit they've made a mistake and let him come back.  This could be worked out.

Zena

The posts and support for .Dave would make him proud.  There's politics in everything I say.

Bless

I suppose we're just awaiting an appeal, Fine,
Hope does spring eternal.  We'll know soon, I'm sure. Meantime, I want to keep it going so that Dave doesn't get forgotten.

Fineyoungsinger,
That's about how it feels, doesn't it?  I've been reading the responses you all have gotten (I haven't gotten anything yet?) and it's the corporate bureaucratese I was expecting, "We can't discuss another member's case for privacy reasons".   I wonder what, if any answer, Dave is getting, and if our demonstrations of support have made any difference in their final decision.

White Elephant, Jack aka Corvus something (can't remember the species),
He must be in the crow family. Probably has crow cousins.  Or maybe he's Counting Crows, I don't know.  (I'm getting giddy now, silly, they say grief does that to you.)

Brian, I don't get that one,but I haven't been here long enough to get it.
Anyway, he'll get it and that's what counts.

Hi, Kayzzaman, what could have been taken differently? The photo.
I just picked it up off a photo site.  I thought it was a handsome profile.

posted by Zena77 on November 1, 2007 at 10:25 AM | link to this | reply

Hiya, Troosha, you have to miss Dave a lot, too.
I mean, what's not to love about the silly bird.  He gets around.
