rpg lingo

[Noi]

>.> Jeez. Fueling much?

If you don't like the way people post here, what makes you think we're going to change just for you? Especially when you put up a foul post like this. My suggestion is simple. Find another site that strictly states in the rules 'no rpg lingo'. Just like family, eh? Please don't call our words retarded. RPG lingo is optional on almost every rpg website, equine or not. It's not going to disapear just because you wish it to. It just doesnt work like that. Your best bet is to leave or avoid those who use the 'lingo' on WAH. Also, it's not 'EVERY rpg site', it's 'ALMOST EVERY rpg site'. I myself have even accidently came across loads of rpgs that don't allow lingo for the same reasons you dislike it, only they don't call the words 'retarded' -.- which reminds me..Please don't mock mentally ill people using that word inappropriately. It's very disrespectful and seeing as my mother is a therapist, I myself also find it very cruel, and, hey, annoying. What are the odds? ;] But I can't stop the whole world from using the word childishly and disrespectfully. I guess there's a lesson hidden in everything, no?

Paintlover although you don't like it don't be disrepscetful about it like Noi said. Also don't call them retarded because that is HIGHLY insutling to many. Last but not least it's not a rule on here about haveing to use RP lingo, if you don't want to then don't use it.

Not only is this sudden action rude, but it can be very offending to some. Luckily, I don't get angry easily, but a simpler and less aggressive method could have been used to voice your opinion. Some of the best rpers that I have ever rped with always use this 'lingo' and I do myself. I don't think any of the words are retarded, I think that they are symbolic. It is your choice, but I feel that this 'lingo' is indeed poetic. Not poetic as in the rhyming one word to another, but as in expressing an idea from a different point of view. Pillars refer to the legs of an equine, being firm and strong. Orbs are spherical usually glass balls, and in rping case, they are spherical and used as a looking glass. There are many many more that I could describe, but i truly feel, though some may not know what the words mean at first, that they are symbolic and describe more descriptively than using the words that everyone is accustomed to.

Although at WAH, we openly accept opinions and comments/suggestions, you have to be careful how you voice your opinions. Now, I know, it seems like everyone is slamming you down, but the kind of post you admit verifies the kind of response you will receive. And all three of us responded, because we run the site, and each of us had something different to say. Now, please don't be offended and get upset and such, but to put this frankly, you challenged us to argue with you, and so we shall respond in the appropriate manner. But be warned, if you post this post in other sites, some admins will be quicker to judge and either suspend you or ban you from their site. There is a way to phrase everything, but please try to calm down with your approaches and voice your comments in a calm and appropriate manner. Thank you.

You guys don't have to change it! It's my opinion. And sorry for the retarded part... I won't do it again. Can you forgive me? I modified the post. Is it better? Don't tell me not to take anger out on others, I know thwat already, but I was also mad about losing the connector for my ipod to the com (lol)! Could you tell me the sites that don't like that language? I never found any.

[paintlover]

Even better. I deleted my "foul" post!
