HelpI've been coming to this board for eight years now ...
in reply to a message by Cristi-es
And it seems to me like you've posted about this same list of names nearly every day that whole time. Mostly the same names, with a few variations.
Give it a rest.

You've been charming and uplifting our souls for eight full years now?
Congrats.

You don't have to reply if you don't like my posts. There is no reason to be rude. Just don't waste your time reading them, It's as simple as that. :)

Don't try to turn it back around and make me the bad guy. Whether I was rude or not is a matter of opinion, but the fact remains that you've posted "what do you think" threads about the same dozen or so names every few days for the last eight years at least. I don't know why nobody's called you on it before; God knows other people have been called out for everything else, including repetitive posts. V Kalvin, for example, has been told to give the same few names a rest multiple times, and to lay off the Royal Baby posts too. He wasn't the only one.
I will ignore you from now on, as I have mostly been doing all along. I thought perhaps you didn't realize just how repetitive your posts are, but evidently you don't mind getting the same opinions of the same names day after day. Knock yourself out.

I wonder if her posts are really as repetitive as you think. I won't get in the middle of this any more, but I thought I'd post the following link for you, of all her posts. Maybe I'm missing something but I certainly don't see as many posts as you claim.

I'm not going through them with a fine comb, but here are a few examples I've found.

http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4256601 (The initial post may not show any resemblance to what we're looking for, but if you go through the comments you'll see that they're talking about pretty much the same names)

Some names have come, others have gone, others have remained staunch. As far as I've seen, I don't think she's been repetitive to an obnoxious level or anything (but, again, I know I've missed a few). More like she just has constant favorites and has trouble choosing names when she needs to. *shrugs*

I hadn't particularly noticed that Cristi-es' posts were repetitive, but then again, that doesn't mean that they haven't been, because I do skip a lot of posts without looking at them. So this contretemps motivated me to take a look at all of her posts, the same way it did you. But I quickly realized this was rather useless as it pulls up all of her responses as well as her OPs, so one would have to go through and pick out all of her OPs to truly see how repetitive she's been, and I certainly don't have the motivation to do that.

the reason I started skipping her posts, a long time back ...
Was that they were repetitive. Now and then I'd click on one and find the same few names.

As someone who has taken quite a while to embrace names other than the ones I automatically love as my favourites, I'd advocate the 'don't click, don't look' advice you've been getting. Some of us may be a bit repetitive. Some of us may be unaware that people notice. Some of us are in the midst of having children and have a hard time thinking outside the must-find-perfect-next-name-for-my-family mindset. I have been there for a few years myself. I'd probably be embarrassed if I looked back over my own repetitive pleading posts for a sibling to match my kids' names.
I'm not saying your opinion on the matter is wrong. But a smidgen of understanding and/or tact would go a long way.
As for the way you post your opinions on the names themselves - carry on! I find you lack of tact refreshing!

Well, if it bugs you that much, just don't click on her posts. And don't say anything.
It's that simple.
Whilst I don't want to start a fight, you seem to enjoy being unnecessarily rude to people, without provocation, to an almost sociopathic degree. It's not called for, it adds nothing to the discussion and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It'd be better if you didn't say anything at all here, to be honest. Stick to posts that don't bother you.

Exactly
Well said. I've noticed Roxstar been unnecessarily rude to posters before. Honest opinions on names is fine (it's the whole idea of the board!) but I dislike when people are rude for no reason and have no constructive contribution to the topic.
