phlogistician was stating that its up to the community to decide if they think a person if hypersensitive, as opposed to the individual deciding if himself/herself is hypersensitive. I agree with phlogistician. The site's administration do not tell us what we think of others.
That's half the discussion. If you follow the conversation, there was also the debate as to whether Buffalo's request was reasonable and if it should be granted. ~String
Yes, I was adressing the part where John99 was raising the issue of whether a person decides how they are percevied by others. They clearly do not.
Did I just make the Linguistic section the most popular? Hey, I have just learnt that the original Buffy in the '92 movie was her: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Let's just say that this discussion is longer than the one on the same subject on the super-secret Moderators' board. I didn't care for the movie or the TV show, but I loved the spinoff "Angel" and Charisma Carpenter's character "Cordelia."
Do you really think that? I always knew you were a terrible moderator, now you have just underlined that. What purpose do you think you serve here?
its real fun when you get warned about it and that the first time you here about it. and yet when I asked him to stop using a condescending term to refer to me(grasshopper) he made it a point to use it.
it would be viewed as a diminutive. adult charles: child charlie or chucky adult william: child willy or billy adult elizibeth: child lizzy adult annebeth: child annie and so on and so forth
using my name like that is a bad example. my first name id phillip and I am a junior so I do actually go by PJ to my friends.
that answers one phase of the issue but not the other. he demands people respect his wishes in regards of what to be called and than catagorically ignores other people's wishes of what to be called.
Charlie, Willie (we usually spell it with IE in the States), Billy and Annie are quite common adult nicknames in the USA. Of all those, only Chuckie (again with an IE) is rare for adults; they are just Chuck. We wouldn't even call a child Chuckie once he's in school. Of course Lizzy isn't widely used at all over here for either women or older girls. Since Elizabeth Taylor became Liz, all Elizabeths are now Liz. ^_^ Or Betty. I've never encountered the name Annebeth; Annie is our nickname for Anne or Ann. We call adult men Andy, Artie, Bernie, Bobby, Denny, Eddie, Harry, Jackie, Jerry, Jimmy, Johnny, Larry, Lenny, Manny, Mickey, Ollie, Randy, Reggie, Richie, Ronnie, Teddy, Tommy and Wally. And we call adult women Abby, Betsy, Bobbi, Cathy, Janey, Joanie, Patsy, Patty, Peggy, Penny, Robbie, Suzy, Trudy and Vickie. It's hard to come up with a list of female nicknames because so many of them are simply used as given names, like Judy, Kristy and Sherry.
He's subject to the same rules as everybody else. If I receive reports of BR misusing other posters' names, especially after this episode, I'll happily ban him.
I have seen the name in real life once and twice in fiction. it is not a common name. Anne and Ann are derived from the name Annabeth.
Why not just ban him in advance? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! People are crying about nicknames, I cry about lack of logic, which is a way bigger offense. For example a certain member, let's call him Bruce, trying to argue against global warning using 2 contradictory arguments. Well, that just doesn't work. You have to pick your side and your argument and go with it. You can't have it both...Now that stupid approach is a way bigger offense against humanity then a silly namecalling or such...
