Help[Opinions] Re: modest, organic feeling?
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I don't think Rox is being nasty. She's just sharing her opinion about the name, which is the whole point of this board. Different names conjure differen't images. If people only want to hear nice things about a name they like, they should go somewhere else.

People certainly give Rox a lot of power around here. She should wear a crown.

Roxstar's comment
"['Modest, organic feeling'?] Is it a name, or a laxative?"
is actually not an opinion on a name. It's a sarcastic joke, the target of which is not the name itself but the poster's use of language.
You might share Roxstar's opinion of the name and therefore be more able to perceive it as a funny joke, but I think you can also see how if you didn't share her opinion, you might think she was being nasty.
