You just can't, without being guilty of torturing language beyond all recognition (Heh, make that "Language FUBAR" ;-/)<BR/><BR/>Where DO they get off with this?

I used to visit regularly and even occasionally make the odd attempt at reasonable dialogue, but the atmosphere is close and stuffy. I do recall a number of weird metaphorical leaps, analogies, and allegories from former visits. Also the references to Narnia and LoTR. Very strange world-view, with a fairly strong delusional component and an apocalyptic attitude.
