Mixture of Ebony and Ivory
Hello. This is a weird question here yall. I am looking for a name which has the meaning ob both Ebony and Ivory, or, in other words, those two things coming together. Let me remind you that ivory is a creamy white substance which comes from minerals (according to some sources), mineral come from the ground, the black tress (which Ebony is talking of) grows from the ground. So I think there sould be a meaning for both, coming together in harmony. If there is such a name, please send it to me if you will at Caren100@aol.com Don't worry, I will check this posting daily to look at responses. Please put the male and female version of this name if you have it. Thank you so much.

Yikes, I somehow managed to miss all of this until it was all over. Thanks Pavlos, for looking after things so diplomatically! And Caren, Barb is the last person I would let you get away with insulting here, for reasons that are obvious to most regulars. And for the record, she doesn't have a racist bone in her body.

You are welcome, the pleasure was all mine :)> she doesn't have a racist bone in her body.True, 'though Caren called Barb "raciest", not racist. I have to agree, Barb *is* the "raciest" mom your side of the Aegean!!!Raciest:
"Having a distinctive and characteristic quality or taste;
Vigorous; lively."

NEVERMIND..................Here it is. I, Caren100@aol.com, truly and sincerely apologize for what I said. I did not know it would have been so obvious that it was me since I had put down a name totally different than the usual question marks I usually put down for my name. It was real tempting to say that I shared the account (Ebony and Ivory) with my fiance or someone and that HE was the one that posted it. I started to do that. I figured I should just apologize since I already felt guilty about it. My sincere aplogies go out to Barb and to her friend Pavlos. The reason I lied at first was not to insult yours intelligance, , but b/c I know I can be a very nice person but sometimes I just let my emotions get the best of me. Zebra is funny. Piano is funny (especially since I thought it was a real name at first and was looking it up. Ha Ha Hha!). What made me think so lowely of chessboard was the way it was said and b/c it had no indication that it was a joke. You should really be careful tho Barb, you never know how someone will take something. I was also offended by it so highly b/c I have a mixed friend that lives in an area where interacial relationships (and children) are looked down upon heavily. This place is behind its time. They used to call my friend chessboard all the time when she was little, so this is way also that I assumned Barb was meant harm or insults by what she said. I didn't mean to give anyone the impression that I'm a mean person, or an uncollective one. I just over-reacted. I hope that Barb and her friend Pavlos are no longer angry at me. B/c I am not angry at Barb anymore. I totally accept your apologies (Barb), and also realize that it WAS meant as a joke. Pavlos, I can honestly say you are a generous person. Most people would have gone ahead and reported me. I guess I should say thank you for not doing that. Please respond or email me. Sincerely,
Caren100@aol.comP.S. I thought I should apologize publically since I offended someone publically.

LOL! Thanks girl. But I think everyone here knows that there isn't a Marilyn that was offended. It seems to be a small community. I won't put ur real name since Im sure thats not something you may want people to know over the net. I know you were just trying to help me feel better about the situation. I feel better since I actually apologized. You've been there through distressing times and I'd definately like to say thank you "Marilyn" lol! Also, as you can see,"case is closed". Bye girl. ttyl.

Whew! That's the first time to my knowledge that I've been called racist. Skin colour was the last thing on my mind when I posted my hasty and somewhat glib response. I apologize if it seemed to trivialize ????'s inquiry, which I thought had already been satisfied by Nanaea. (It's best to bring your sense of humour when you post here, but don't worry, I'm not the litigating type.) Thanks for defending me Pavlos and sorry for adding to your workload, Mike!

Do you realize the dire legal and financial consequences to you and your family if we choose to press charges?
I think I may just give AOL in Manassas a call to report your harassment?

Thank you, Oh Greek One.Her Sataness and Her Witchiness (Nanaea and I) thank you for calling this one.

**shaking head** This is coming from someone who over-reacts sometimes, so I would know. From the sound of Phyllis's and Nanaea's last messages, it sounds like there are a few people on here who can do the same (over-react). Phyllis, acting "bitchy" on your own website is NOT a good idea. I have read some of the arguments below that Nanaea was involved in and they were hilarious! But acting this way on your website, or on a good, very close friend's website is NOT a good idea at all b/c if the person who was offended by the messages and reported them to the higher authorities, its very possible that they (the higher authorities) could get the post, or even the website shut down. Depending on what was said, even sued. If they shut it down, even though you could just start another one just like it, the same thing can always happen again but would probably be more serious the next time b/c of it happening before. This would be terrible b/c the website is helpful, and all the people who were just starting to get their questions answered would have to search and search for another site that would do the same thing. When something like that happens, you put the founder of the website in danger. Please think things like these out before you re-act with such conditionings. I would hate to see a website such as this one be taken away b/c of something so simply. Just some words to the wise. - Caren100@aol.comP.S. Please respond or email me.

I suggest you......quietly slip off into the cyber-shadows. Find a new website to impress with your humorless, politically correct agenda. Whatever.You are no longer welcome here.You have insulted a well-respected lady of this site (Barb), and now you are continuing your foolishness by attempting to butt heads with both Phyllis and myself.Guess what?You've just "marked" yourself, with your threats to my friends on this message board.Keep up your insulting crap, m'dearie. You don't know who -- or what -- you're playing with.You'll discover soon enough that I am RELENTLESS. And not just on the 'net, my dear.But then, so are all we Satanists.-- Nanaea

I have apologzed to Barb and she has the same to me and I have accepted hers. And looks to me like this was already taken care of by Pavlos. Seems that some of your friends realize I'm sorry for those actions. Yourself does not scare me. I have sent Mike a message warning him of your behavior and that I care about this page. Obviously, you dont give a crap about your friend Mike if you continue these actions. You are going to get him in serious trouble and I think you will find that if you wish to bring this to attention (my earlier actions) which I have already APOLOGIZED FOR, that you will have no success and will in fact leave you and Mike as a Mark for ridicule. If I were Mike, I would have nothing to do with you on this page. I suggest you heed my warning m'dear. And don't attempt to get me away from this site b/c there is nothing in your power that you can do to stop freedom of clean speech here in American (which accounts for this message board as well) and looks to me like you think Iraq won. You will go down faster than Sadam, especially since you have nothing on my b/c of your insulting behavior that you have done yourself. You need to be a bigger person than whomever comes along and insults or else you may find yourself in even more trouble. I don't think you want to get in that scenario, and I KNOW you don't want to get Mike. You are being unloyal to him as a friend. If you find a problem, report it. Don't get in trouble FOR them. You don't care for them that much and I KNOW that don't for you. No one appreciates your insults and I suggest you clean your act up. And again, my sincerest apologies to you Barb. You are a really nice lady.P.S. In case you don't know why your behavior is offensive, it is b/c I gave you some suggestions, which were FRIENDLY and you then you threaten me. Threatening people will no longer help you miss Nanaea. And I think if you find that if you want to use violence, or attempt it, you will find yourself in prison and/or find youself in some bad shape if in any at all b/c they had to defend themselves agaisnt you. Sounds a little to me like your threatening violence and Im telling you, don't try it. Mabe I should report you right now. You won't be happy with your outcome. Your a terrible friend to Mike, Nanaea, and if you get him in trouble he may just feel the same way. I would if I were him. You earn no respect for youself.

C. She suffers from multiple personality disorder.
D. All of the above."I know I can be a very nice person but sometimes I just let my emotions get the best of me!" Nice Person Ebony and Ivory just lets her emotions get the best of her because:

B. It's so darn HARD for her to be nice when she constantly finds herself surrounded by nasty, racist KKKers who use bad words like "chessboard".
C. It's so darn HARD for her to think rationally.
D. Ebony and Ivory is just a very sensitive person who is deeply moved by bad Paul McCartney lyrics.Ebony and Ivory is touchy about the use of the word "chessboard" because:
A. She was traumatized as a child when Bobby Fisher smacked her over the head with a chessboard.
B. She grew up in a rough, middle-class suburban neighborhood, where calling somebody a "chessboard" was "fightin' words".
C. In her delusional, paranoid mind, she sees checkerboard patterns EVERYWHERE.
D. She actually misread that word and thought it said "cheeseboard", which describes the politically correct message boards she's accustomed to hanging out at.The only reason why Ebony and Ivory apologized for her stupidity is because:
A. Pavlos scared the piss out of her when she realized she'd been caught out by her ISP numbers.
B. Pavlos scared the piss out of her when he informed her that she had insulted the board owner's mother.
C. She has learned that apologizing is the best way to cover her ass after she's been caught.
D. All of the above

Game Theory 101.Of course she more gall than a 1000 chimps to suggest that Barb had reason to apologize to her.

Caren100@aol did not write that. I don't know who did, but the assumption that was made is wrong. However, I do think that cheesboard should find better things to complain about other than people wanting to find names and find something more important to complain about. And as for the person that wrote that vulgar message, mabe you have more of a life than that. So don't get so upset. You need to chill out and think about what ur saying before you tell someone something like that. No one deserves to go to hell. It's an swful place beleive me. I (and every one else) would appreciate it if you didn't come back to this chatpost. You are getting ME in trouble for something I didn't intend to make happen. I never thought that posting a message about a name would cause people harm and conflict. Sorry to the ones that have been the victims of this.

So dont insult our intelligence by blatantly lying.> Sorry to the ones that have been the victims of this.I think a more sincere and less half-assed apology on your behalf is in order, Caren.

Pavlos, just maybe...We all have suffered the different "Trolls" that decide to visit the site every now and then but this one is way out of line!!After all of this terrible incident and reading the "apology" from this Caren, couldn't there be the possibility that this person posted from a public computer, at a cyber bar, leaving the BTN page open and "along" came another person, who used the same computer (hence the same I.P.) and typed that message?? It occurred to me that this might have happened since something similar happened to me with a Hotmail account while on vacation for posting from cyber bars...
Any way, you are the expert on tracking these Trolls and I do hope you will be able to sort it out.Not meaning to be nosy,

Thanks anyway MagiaThanks for defending me Magie. This is similar to the story I started to make up but wanted to apologize instead since I felt so guilty by it. I really appreciate you sticking up for me anyway. It would have come in handy if I had choose the other side. Which I hope Im not sorry it didn't now. I just got really upset and over what was said cuz I was so SURE she meant it as an insult that I just HAD to apologize. Im really not a mean person as it seems. Whatever a "troll" means. But, if you'd like to see what happened just look on my post saying "nevermind" posted me Caren100.P.S. I will agree that there was a LITTLE too much assumption made tho.

Well, actually, ivory is the substance (dentine) that forms the tusks of tusked mammals (such as elephants, certain whales, etc.). While it is formed of minerals, it takes the circuitous route of being in plants, eaten and digested before becoming ivory on a living animal.If you are looking for the suggestion of combining, mixing or comparing the colors ivory and ebony, Nanaea's suggestion (onyx) is excellent.
vote up1vote down
"Onyx" may be the name you're looking for. Onyx is a mineral which can appear with bands of black and white in it.If you're looking for a name which may signify the combination of the symbolic "black" and "white", then Onyx would do.Onyx is also used for making some quite beautiful jewelry, so you have the additional significance of "beauty" which goes with the name.-- Nanaea

I thought of a name that I didn't think of before. It's a common girls name. It doesn't have "mixture" anywhere in it's meaning but if the child is mixed (with black and white) they would turn out the color Amber. So Amber is a good name. I can see why no one thought of this name. I added a twist to it and made the new name Amberlynne. Beleive it or not, that actually already has a meaning. Onyx is still a good idea tho.
