[Opinions] Um okay + a moderator question
I think you're in the wrong place. Have you tried just going to the page for 'Neveah' and clicking 'contribute'. I'm guessing that's where all this "negativity" is, I imagine. Has anyone ever talked to Mike about having a 'contribute' or 'comment' button on the page where the name comments are? It seems like this happens pretty often that someone gets all riled up at the comments and then comes to this board to rant back at "us". Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

Gosh yes, that is a good idea. So, are you going to PM Mike? or are you punting and I'm going to do it? =)

Doneand Mike thinks it's a good idea. It'll be a couple weeks though.

I'm not convinced that "Contribute" or "Comment" would be clear enough. The button should say, "Press here if you're mad about some of the comments but get it through your thick head first that it's very unlikely that anyone who pissed you off will see your response."

Maybe we could abbreviate that so it fits on a button....PHIYMASOTCBGITYTHFTIVUTAWPYOWSYR?

LOL.Actually, this inspired me to look at the comments for Nevaeh, which I had never done before, and I discovered that the only other name that I've seen that inspired as many comments, as many extremely negative comments, and as much heated debate as Nevaeh is Madison.And surprise, lucyonly left the identical message in the comments section for Nevaeh that she did here. So it wasn't a matter of not being able to figure out how to do it.To lucyonly: The people who left the comments are not, for the most part, the same people who frequent this board. Many of the comments were left years ago by people who come on the site for a short time, maybe only one day, and then leave. This board is designed for give-and-take and the comments section is not. The comments stay forever and here on the opinions board, posts get pushed down into the archives. This opinions board is frequented by regulars, and the comments section is designed for a one-time comment. The comments section and the opinion board have different purposes. It's very unlikely than anyone who left a negative comment about Nevaeh in the comments section will see your response there, but it's even more unlikely that they would here. It wasn't appropriate to re-post your comment here.

Holy CrapI followed the link to read the comments and Nevaeh has made it to #39 on the popularity chart??? What what what. And people still think its unique :|Also, I had to laugh at the whole "the way to undo God's creation is to speak His name backwards" thing. Clearly this is why there are so many things wrong in this world- people keep saying dog.
Lots of crazy in that comments thread.
