Mary's Margaret 153 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Does anyone know why some of us now have this descriptor under our pictures? I don't much care for it myself. Renee the Nunnabe and Lil'Nun 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
i<3franciscans 931 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think it is for every one who didn't have a tag to begin with. It was an Open Mic thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil'Nun 173 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I wonder if I have it? Yup. Yuk. I can cope with "generic" and "undefined" but I am somewhat underwhelmed by the "creepy". I'm sure it isn't meant that way. But I feel a bit insulted. :cry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Renee the Nunnabe 19 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I went from "Phatmasser" to "Creepy Generic Undefined Human." I know it's not meant to be mean, but I don't much like it. :cry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TIWW 57 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Seriously? This is juvenile and demeaning, for a website that is "supposedly" Christian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post arfink 4,952 Posted January 16, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's dUSt's way of saying he's sick of people complaining about the titles. I think once the most vociferous whiners quiet themselves down he'll put it back. Basilisa Marie, the171, ardillacid and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mary's Margaret 153 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wonder if I have it? Yup. Yuk. I can cope with "generic" and "undefined" but I am somewhat underwhelmed by the "creepy". I'm sure it isn't meant that way. But I feel a bit insulted. :cry: I can cope with 'human', but the rest I find unwarranted. It's dUSt's way of saying he's sick of people complaining about the titles. I think once the most vociferous whiners quiet themselves down he'll put it back. Perhaps if there's a problem with some, it would be better to deal with then directly rather than painting others with the same brush. Also, if that's the case, then why doesn't everyone have the same title. How were we chosen to have this said about us? I hope it will be rethought as it certainly is affecting my sense of this being a welcoming and respectful site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Renee the Nunnabe 19 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 What were y'all's descriptors before? Mine was "Phatmasser." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somethingfishy 102 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's not personally directed at you or me. Don't worry about it or assume it somehow defines you ("painting others with the same brush" etc). It's dUSt's forum and he'll do what he likes with it, and if that's not working for you then no one's twisting your arm to stay. This is a benevolent dictatorship, not a democracy -- and btw it's a free service, that dUSt and the mods run largely out of the goodness of their hearts. I don't know where people get the idea that they're entitled to something. the171, MissScripture, Lil Red and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabriela 3,081 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was party to the original thread in Open Mic and I agree that this is probably just dUSt pointing out to us that tags could be a lot worse than they presently are. You also probably have me to thank (at least partly) for his making his point this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MissScripture 4,097 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also, the "creepy" term is something from Phatmass history. If people want to be personally offended, that's their choice, but dUSt is definitely not sitting around thinking about how he can offend people. I'm guessing his current thoughts revolve a lot more around dirty diapers and baby puke. Lil Red, i<3franciscans, franciscanheart and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikita92 295 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I didn't even realize it, till someone said something! Lol Doesn't bother me! <(-: Lil Red 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pax_et bonum 680 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 perhaps if some people stuck their heads out of the little hidey-hole they've created for themselves in VS, they'd realize what goes on in other parts of the phorum. <_< I like this hidey-hole...usually. I think this tag describes me pretty accurately. I'm so glad there's now a place in the world for us creepy generic undefined humans.
