This is not a complaint

I also like that the town of Cairo in Georgia is pronounced "Kay - Row".

Hey watch it, you are stepping on Ohio turf there. Have you heard of "ver-sales"?

Actually, I can accept that as merely us adopting a foreign word, or name, into our language. Well. No. Nevermind, maybe I can't. It is no better than "eye-talian."

However, "bell-fountain" kills me. That is not anglicizing a word, that had to just be many people mispronouncing it over and over and over because they couldn't read well.

Maybe someone here knows the origins of the names. . .

about dings. Anyone that feels the need to ding someone or credit someone, should, without hesitation, do so. However, if someone feels strongly enough about a post to ding or credit a person, they should, in my opinion, let the person know who it is from.

ONCE AGAIN I STRESS, THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE REP SYSTEM, merely a commentary on my part.
Please explain.

My mom says all three. I tease her for "eye-talian" all the time. Mom, if I wanted "see" food, I'd go to Red Lobster!

What about "Murry-in" (Marion), "Arn-ton" (Ironton) and "Mar-sell" (Marseilles)?
Don't forget about "Nerk." (Newark)

I repped him this morning for quality pot stirring...anytime I see Donny getting guys so fired up over such a small issue, I bust out laughing as I envision some college kid with a mullet wearing an AC/DC shirt, Wranglers, and camo hunting boots grinning in the computer lab while he reads the screen...

Hate is such a strong word:biggrin:

Donny,

Did you know you can turn your rep off? Seeing as how you are in the red, and will probably be in the red forever, I'd suggest you turn your rep points off and let a single black box take it's place...

If you like the red, then by all means keep it... just an fyi if you didn't already know about the ability to turn rep "off"

This is the OPEN forum. Most of the threads/posts here are lacking in substance.
This is much less an issue of "substance" than it is of "content." First, if you want to start rant threads, then do a forum search for the related topic to see if they already exist, and then append your opinion to the previous thread. Second, if you have a question/concern for the mods & admins, then either contact us by PMs or start a thread in the administrative forum. Third, regardless of your stated intent, you were whining about the rep system, so take your dings and warnings like a man.

You choose to insult me in a personal way, "Quite frankly, the nuance by which you tried to disguise your complaint/whining requires more intelligence to pull off than I believe you currently possess.", which is you prerogative, but again I think that it falls below the standard that a moderator should set for himself, my opinion.
Your opinion has been noted and filed appropriately. While I do appreciate constructive criticism, I truly appreciate it when it comes from someone whom I respect, at least to some degree. When you start adhering to the standards set forth by this community, then your words will likely have some credence associated with them. Until that time, please understand that you are a new poster here. Also understand that you carry with you a considerable amount of unfavorable baggage based on your reputation from other forums.

In summation, as a newbie, you need to understand your role among the numerous posters that co-exist at this site (please note that your present role is not "moderator critic." :wink2: ) This community has developed it's own style/culture, and as a newbie it is your challenge to find a way to assimilate yourself within that style/culture. To be clear, it certainly doesn't behoove you to become so universally disliked as rapidly as you have. I further suggest that you read more posts/threads by other contributors, and post less at the present time.

Now we just have to hope that 21 doesn't take pity on Tibs. It does seem like nothing rallies the troops like donny with green chicklets. :p
