juju,
I've only been part of this group a few months, but I can tell you there is no one, no one here that has ever tried to make fun of, or hurt another one here. We've all picked on Tim, he picks back at us, but only those that are picking with him. That's friendship/quiltship. We must be able to take the fun and the joy of it by sharing our colloquailisms with one another. Our country, lands, have candy that's named juju. We have always since the beginning of time used the word juju as a term to describe the "karma" that surrounds something that's not going correctly.
I know that all of us here have enough respect for one another not to be trying to hurt anyone. Give the guy a break, he's brave to foray into the midst of a lot of women, but we really are not the only quilters in the world, there are lots of men women and children quilting.
