Um, just to be clear: I asked for the "assisted suicide" thread to be locked, as it was getting too hot in there and people were being hurt. The Soulflower one, I don't know. Was I responsible for that? If so, nobody told me but I guess it's possible. Other than that, what threads have I got locked? I realise you're joking but I'm just curious, as this is not, to my knowledge, something I go around doing, or being caused to do.

I read your entire post.

Troll my friend, if LIL and Ki have that opinion, it's their right to have it, and more importantly, their right to express it. I can truly understand how it would infuriate you, and I have caught myself a couple times feeling the blood boil up just a little too over the subject, but the fact of the matter is that they will more than likely, now I'm just speculating here, they will more than likely change their stance as 'child haters' (for lack of a better term) as time goes by. I had the same immature reactions to being around children when I was quite younger too, and I'm sure I've made a few off color comments about the subject at some point in time before I had a child of my own. I'm not defending their actions, and I'm not advocating your rant on the subject, I just thought I'd try to inject a bit of rationale into this mess, and I hope I'm not going to be sorry for doing so, but it just troubled me a bit to see you going off on such a tangent.

Take deep breaths, and imagine LIL and Ki holding their first child while saying "What was I thinking?".

I just thought of something... if I had a child, what would I name them? Part of me wants to give them a name that is unique, means something special, and sets them apart from everyone else. But another part of me doesn't want them to get beaten up, picked on, and refused jobs for having a weird name like "Apple" or "Batlord" or something.

Parents of MusicBanter, how on earth did you decide what name(s) to pick?

I think at this point Ori has gotten even more annoying than the two people that started this

Which is impressive, bravo

^ He exclaimed right when things were starting to wind down again.

Seriously, you say you hate me, yet you keep coming back. Jesus, if you're going to try to insult me, at least make it fun to read. Try throwing in a comparison to nazis next time.

I don't hate you, I think youre pretty cool most of the time

I just don't know why you made yourself self-appointed mediator of a discussion you clearly have no intention to participate in, and then that you hypocritical defend two people voicing their opinion while condemning two other people for voicing an opposite opinion. You won't acknowledge that TH and I have a point AT ALL or justification for being outraged when he most certainly do on both accounts.

My daughters first name comes from her Grandmother on her mothers side, and her Great Grandmother on my side of the family, so that was a lock. Her middle name was something that kind of got handed down through her Grandmother, and me. It's funny, one day she came to me all excited saying "I just realized... my middle name is the female version of your name!" She absolutely adores that fact.

That's actually a good idea, but nobody in my family has a name cool enough to be passed down.

It's cute that your name and her middle name both came from her grandmother, though.

I have a question for you. Why do you feel the need to start all of this up again? I've already invited you to send me a PM, and it makes sense to take that advice; you have criticisms against me, so why not send them to me directly, rather than force everyone else to have to dredge through them? If you choose not to send me a PM, then fine. It's all good. That's your choice. But if that's the case, then it's my decision to longer read your posts directed towards me, because at that point they are obviously more about making a public spectacle than actually having a discussion with me. When Roxy and I were fighting, we eventually took it to PMs, and now we get along just fine. It works if you give it a shot, but if you don't, then we'll just keep going in circles.

You started this campaign against me in public and it's going to be finished in public, and since clearly at this point you're more interested in dancing around the subject like a coward and trying to make everything about sunshine and rainbows rather than acknowledge the reality that some people were seriously pissed off recently and still need time to vent...I'd say it's probably now over between you and I.
