One wonders (again, without being "bothered" or "annoyed") why so many posters equate an observation with an adverse reaction??
Well, for me it's because some of these "observations" are seemingly pointless and just meant to stir up negative reaction. You "observe" how you "studiously avoid"ed giving yourself a name that was basically unnoticable. Before long, it has degenerated into adverse reactions with people being called "cliche" and unimaginative. What was your point? As i and others said, it had nothing to do with lack of imagination. It's kind of like insulting someone for the name they choose for their child. Just because they don't choose a faddish, name-of-the-day and instead go with something more common, does that mean they lack imagination? Maybe it's a family name, maybe they really like it - whatever. As i've said more than once on here, we never know each other's motivations for doing anything. Instead of assuming we do, and if we really are interested, we should ask and not just put reasons in their mouth. Starting your post off with a statement like "you make take this personally, but consider lightening up" shows that you knew how this would come off to many. i pretty much stay "lightened up." It's only when people decide they know what motivates me and begin to label me that it's hard to stay that way [8D] ..... slave luci
