Help[Opinions] Re: Is this a joke?
in reply to a message by Arctic_Fox723
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.
