Except you.
You don't need to be hateful or do or say something that's banning-level bad to be called out here.
Some of us have been on this board for ten or even more years, and there are some unwritten-in-the-rules-section but still well-understood and long-standing rules here. One of them is that when you ask for opinions, you don't request only positive opinions; that's arrogant and obnoxious and defeats the whole purpose of a board that's meant precisely for "opinions."
We've all been corrected for little things like this at some time or other. It's up to you how you respond, but I'm here to tell you that if you intend to stick around and get feedback on names or anything else, you'd be doing yourself the big favor if you follow that rule; if you choos not to, expect fewer and fewer positive reactions to your posts; you have several times advised me/Anneza to just not respond to your posts if we don't like them. Realize this works both ways, and people may stop responding to yours if you keep dictating what opinions they can offer.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
