What is with your obsession over the name?<br><br>You assume that those of us that enjoy the Box should agree that the name is somehow offensive and discourages other folks from joining in the political discussions. You assume an awful lot. yoyo did a very good job of explaining the concept of the name. Nobody, until you began to complain, has suggested the "name" is inappropriate. Nor do we feel marginalized by discussing politics in a separate room. You assume we do.<br><br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p> I wouldn't consider that infringing on your lives but perhaps making better used of the attic.<p><hr></blockquote><p>I wouldn't consider visiting your home and renaming the street it's located on, especially if my visit was prompted by the destruction of my own home. <br><br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>wouldn't this be an ideal time, to look at the furniture?<p><hr></blockquote><p>See above analogy. MM is what it is and we love it as much as you loved MC. Your assumptions and suggestions that we rearrange the furniture to accommodate you is pompous, and really, insulting. It ain't broke, it doesn't need fixing, and thank the fora gods, it isn't MC.<br><br>Quit trying to remake this place in the image of something you've lost and show some respect for those of us that are very happy here, in spite of your generously joining us in your time of need.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue]I always deserve it.

<br>Pompous, to ask for a different name?<br><br>[color:blue]show some respect for those of us that are very happy here, in spite of your generously joining us in your time of need.</font color=blue><br><br>and what is That? ;)<br>One might think you were paying the bills for this place yourself in all that generosity.<br><br>More members means more traffic, and that might well be in the interest of the owner and make this place, which clearly had been rather low volume (see MOD's comments), a more viable proposition.<br><br><br><br><br>

are you honestly pulling the "this is my home" card? <br><br>really?<br><br>

If this was real life I would have popped that beachball with the bullpen rake a long time ago.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Nothing wrong with Soapbox - quite apropos, in fact.<br><br>Perhaps a better idea would be for the moderators to provide more fitting titles to members; many come to mind, but I'm sure wouldn't be appreciated by the "thin-skinned".<br><br><br>- alec -

I have to wonder why a simple name change to a freakin Web forum is all that important when the subject matter inside it remains the same? What difference does it make if it's called Soapbox or anything else. Call it the sh!t-slinging forum for all I care... LOL.<br><br>Gaaahhh... <br><br>

Not everyone is as obsessed with politics as you are, and we don't want it thrown in our faces at every turn. There are many things in life more important than the rich's games of power that we have no control over. Politics spoiled many a decent thread over at MCF that started out non-political.<br><br>And Soapbox *is* the perfect word, re: Alec's wiki link.<br><br>------> JD's Trivia game<br><br>------> MCF-MM Trivia game

Bravo, Reboot!<br><br>

It needs to stay with the dead MacCentral forum.<br><br>_______<br>
