Inexorable

Ben has recently described me as being inexorable. Being the sophisticated, intelligent and inexorable masters student that I am, I had no idea what that meant. The definition, according to dictionary.com is as follows.

inexorable

adj 1: not to be placated or appeased or moved by entreaty;"grim determination"; "grim necessity"; "Russia's final hour, it seemed, approached with inexorable certainty"; "relentless persecution"; "the stern demands of parenthood [syn: grim, relentless, stern, unappeasable, unforgiving, unrelenting] 2: not capable of being swayed or diverted from a course; unsusceptible to persuasion; "he is adamant in his refusal to change his mind"; "Cynthia was inexorable; she would have none of him"- W.Churchill; "an intransigent conservative opposed to every liberal tendancy" [syn: adamant, adamantine, intransigent]

I like number 1. Not to be placated or appeased or moved by entreaty. The implication is, of course, that I am in a position of power. I'm not sure how Ben arrived at this conclusion. I may possess all the charm, good looks and sophistication of a modern day Clark Gable, but to date I do not control a legion a mad and crazy followers.

Speaking of crazy, it appears that Nic has gone stark raving mad. You can see for yourself here. I would have sympathy for the poor bloke, but I'm inexorable.
