shall look forward to more info about this

how is this an "ugly critter"?

For m-o-n-a, Defender of Octosquid:

Fear engenders criticism.

I can imagine myself falling into that greedy red 8-legged maw (even though it appears to be less than 1 foot wide), therefore I call it ugly.

I thought he was beautiful.

far more beatiful than all human

wow, I have acquired an official title - mona, Defender of Octosquid.

just to clarify: i judged Octosquid's beauty purely by external looks. I won't deny that he is potentially dangerous. He is beautiful to me in the same way that I consider many "creepy crawlies" (including spiders) beautiful. Beautiful in the eyes of a photographer - perhaps foolish at times - but an adventurous one that has a soft spot for unusual wildlife & insects!

O Great and Benevolent Defender of Octosquid:

I respect your assessment of Octosquid's beauty. The more I look at the picture, the more inclined I am to agree with you.

excellent, i wonder if i can enforce a rule for people to address me by new (semi-official) title. it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
