Help[Opinions] I'll tell you what.
in reply to a message by Array
I am in awe that one person's opinion could impact your demeanor to this degree. That is wonderful you like word names, but I do not. And that is exactly what you requested - opinions on the male middle name Pleasant, is it not? If you cannot handle other's opinions on a name you like, why bother asking for them? Next time, please request only positive feedback from brown nosers if that is so what you desire. I for one am not going to fluff up my response for the sake of your feelings on a name that you feel so strongly about. Please do not waste everyone's time next time if you do not want honest responses.

giving your honest opinion is one thing
Expressing it in a snide, wise-ass, superior, over-the-top manner, like it actually affects your happiness what name Array happens to like, is quite another thing.
She doesn't mind that you disagree with her. I disagree with her pretty frequently in matters of names, but we still get along just fine. I think what she objected to was the obnoxious, overdramatic way you responded to her.

Holy cow.
You're really new around here, aren't you?
My favourite names include Morpheus, Horatio, Evening, and Ruxandra. I've had plenty of people tell me that they're horrible. I've had friends IRL tell me that if I ever call a daughter Evening, the only present she'll ever get from them is a jar of night air.
If you think my demeanor has been 'impacted' (impact isn't a verb, by the way) by your opinion, you haven't been paying much attention. I am, at the most, mildly annoyed at the fact that you don't seem to understand that your narrow view of the world may not even slightly correspond with mine--or with my theoretical children's.
Maybe the part where you've been a dismissive, ignorant asshole that has my dander up a bit, but I'm certainly not crying at my computer screen right now. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

What does being new around here have anything to do with my ability to express an opinion on a name, an opinion you requested? I merely stated that if you did not want opinions, you should not ask for them. Harmless response, really. Not everyone has the same flavour of names which is expected, but the bottom line is I gave you my opinion and you have showed how poorly you handle honest opinions. I feel my time has been wasted and I will no longer respond to any of your posts.

It's relevant because if you truly believe that Array has no desire to hear honest criticism, then clearly you know absolutely nothing about her.

No. You gave your opinion in an excessively dramatic and somewhat inflammatory manner, and Array responded accordingly.

It wasnt your opinion that was objected to it was the way you expressed that opinion.

Good, because your sheer dumbassery, sir or madam, has wasted mine.
Good day.

Actually, I was wondering if I could get them to make that same promise to me...

That would be nice, wouldn't it?
I'm all for dissenting opinions, but it'd be nice if we could play nice like grownups.

Actually
As a writer, I would just like to point out that impact is indeed a verb. Look it up.

Who are you and on what grounds do you think can be so rude? Array is a long standing, well respected member of our commmunity. You do not even have an account.
If people say they don't like a name, she is generally fine about it, not that you'd know since I've never seen you here before, but you delivered your message of dislike with such ignorance and rudeness that it is understandable why she replied so vehemently.

I am Tota and I will freely express my opinion, regardless of how "new" or "old" to this site I may be. This does not make my threads/posts any less valid than anyone else's. My post was an opinion and one that I did not find to be rude or ignorant. I was also not aware that this site permitted personal attacks. Moreover, I am not responsible for one's perceptions of what they read or choose to read.
