Can a board not just have a quirky person and all the grownups on the board deal with it?

We're all quirky in our own ways and we mostly do manage to get along. But everybody also has their limit.

Fair enough.
eta: Right now I'm raging about HOAs on facebook so I think some of that attitude is being carried forward here.

Why does "quirky" always seem to cross over into "overbearing"?

What about the question, "why do I feel the need to regulate people who have strong opinions about things that don't matter, when those feelings are different from mine" ?

That's a perfect description of Wordsmith, in this thread, at least.
It's not his opinions, it's his reaction to the opinions of others. I will say that I haven't noticed him doing this frequently, but that could be because I haven't been paying attention. In any case, there was no need to respond to Martha the way he did in this thread. On the surface, it was just a statement about a name that wasn't the subject of this OP, but underneath the surface it was intended as a simple dismissal of her opinion.

yes ...
It isn't about his opinions about names; it's his opinions about his opinions and the opinions of other people, and the way he expresses them that are insufferable.

True, he could be more grown-up about dealing with other people's taste.

Holy cow, what’s going on here? Lol
I think I might be the only one in the board who likes a little snark AND a little pomp. Isn’t there room for both? I’ve been known to swing too far in either direction once in a while myself. Or, like, with every post. I’m not anxious to know how many enemies I must have made!
