Mary's Margaret Posted January 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3franciscans Posted January 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil'Nun Posted January 15, 2013 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee the Nunnabe Posted January 15, 2013 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIWW Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Seriously? This is juvenile and demeaning, for a website that is "supposedly" Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted January 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary's Margaret Posted January 16, 2013 Author 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee the Nunnabe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What were y'all's descriptors before? Mine was "Phatmasser." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingfishy Posted January 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted January 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 someone call the wahhhhhhhhmbulance. It's not personally directed at you or me.

This is juvenile and demeaning, for a website that is "supposedly" Christian. :doh: I hope it will be rethought as it certainly is affecting my sense of this being a welcoming and respectful site. how's this for respectful? :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: 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. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted January 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax_et bonum Posted January 16, 2013 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. Haters gonna hate.
