Help[Opinions] Re: 2 questions
in reply to a message by queenv
I personally would never use a name if it had a very strong association, regardless of whether it was a good or a bad one. I would never name a child Luther because regardless of whether Martin Luther King Jr. was my greatest role model or not, the name Luther just immediately draws attention to him. For example, one may love Miley Cyrus but would never want to name her child Miley because there is just such a strong association with that name, and even if she loves Miley Cyrus, the name will always have the association which can be annoying at times, despite whether it is a good or bad association.

I can understand that, but that's not what Algernon said.

Indeed it is not, kindly learn to read.

This response made no sense whatsoever. You are agreeing with me about what your post did NOT say, and then advising me to learn to read? I advise you to brush up on reading comprehension.

The implication of the statement was to address the poster to which you were responding, not you, with illiteracy and a lack of basic reasoning skills, although apparently I should consider extending that to you as well.

Here's how the board works, Algernon. When you wish to respond to a poster, you post directly underneath his or her post. That is how the board works. So if you wanted to respond to the poster to whom I was responding, you should have posted directly beneath her response. It would have appeared above mind, if you had done that. That is how the board works, and that is what everyone expects. Therefore, when a post is made directly underneath another post, everyone assumes that that post is in response to the one it is underneath. When a poster, such as yourself, makes the mistake of replying to a post to which you didn't really mean to reply, the accusation of lack of basic reasoning skills should not be made to the person who made the initial post, but to the person who, like yourself, *made the mistake.*
