Help[Opinions] Re: Is this a joke?
in reply to a message by Arctic_Fox723
No. We're a board of people who have opinions about names. Does it surprise you that someone who thinks your favorite names are tacky and ugly likes names you think are ugly and tacky? If so, WHY? Percolate on that for a little while.

No one's "coming at you." Why do you perceive it that way? This is a name opinions board. We share opinions about names here. How do you expect to function harmoniously if you take people not liking your names as "people coming at you"??? Wordsmith reacted with some annoyance to you posting the same freaking names like 4 times a day, not about your taste in names. You are MORE THAN FREE to leave if you can't figure out how anything works here. I think your taste in names is interesting - not similar to mine, but interesting - and lends the board an interesting flavor. But posting here literally means soliciting people's different reactions, and you have really got to chill out.
"Come at you" please are you twelve years old? Good lord

Why don't you just say, in response to Sophonisba and Perpetua, "I think this name is dumb." That's all you have to do. But "Is this a joke?" "Crap like this", and "BS" are attempts to censor what names other people can post about. But I think my explaining this is a waste of time, actually, because you already know that. You just like to stir up drama.
BTW, I still don't believe you're pregnant.

Look at some responses to other people's messages. You'll see all kinds of starkly negative opinions. Do you see people getting huffy and defensive about it? No, because we know we're not "coming at" each other.
edit: Look at my response to Sebastian. Look at Martha's response to Theodosia. Pretty harsh, and NOTHING personal about the posters involved or implied. It's just part of being on the board.
Wordsmith's got quirky taste. He's literary, old-fashioned, obscure. It's FUN. You don't have to like his names to enjoy his contributions to the board, just like I don't really like your ugly tacky names but I think they're sort of fun. This is a community of people with all kinds of different taste, and we need all kinds of styles to balance it out. And the whole point is to share opinions on this relatively low-stakes subject. If you can't deal with that and get along with people with different opinions, then you should either be quiet and "lurk" and just read people's posts until you figure it out, or go to some other baby names board where everyone thinks Xaileigh is super cute.

You're perfectly entitled to highly negative opinions. It's making it personal, and conveying others' opinions as attacks, that's inappropriate.

Yeah, you're mad because Wordsmith recently expressed weariness with your repetitiveness. So the thing to do was at that time politely defend your repetitiveness, not rudely state that he has no right to post about whatever names he wants to.
