And no, this doesn't mean I'm back. The above was merely posted as a solemn exegesis upon a most profound theme. </STRONG>

I bet everyone is now jealous

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what exegesis means! - I'm way too lazy to look for a thesauras

It seems that someone got a "Word-a-Day" calender for Christmas (or fable's just studying up for the GRE).

I thought that it was established a long time ago that "@SS" was the most appropriate way to refer to Sailor Saturn...

BTW, exegesis means 'definition or clarification'.

Correct on both counts.

What is the exegesis of exegesis?

Thanks for the "clarification"

I knew I should have paid more attention in class.

As i understand it this is a continuing reference to your name, if you have a problem with people referring to you using the @ (to that person) SS (Sailor Saturn) format, then state that is the case and hopefully people will abide by your declaration.

This is all just a misunderstanding, hopefully this has been cleared up

I generally don't have a problem with it, but I will explain why I have a problem with how fable used it. The "@(insert SN here)" is used when you are speaking to someone, but fable was referring to me, not speaking to me. Thus, the @ would not be included. By including the @, he is effectively avoiding the censors and calling me 'ass' without coming under any scrutiny from anyone. Intentional or not, it is wrong, and I'd appreciate an apology from fable for doing so.

<STRONG>First of all, Sailor Saturn, I will not tolerate any more of your comments like "We can only hope" and "it depends on what you deem insightful" in reference to Fable's posts. This is not the first time you have cut down on Fable, and this is not the first time I have warned you about your behavior. Post something like this again and you will not be posting here anymore. Period.</STRONG>

*sigh* Those were not meant as insults. The "We can only hope" wasn't even original as I was copying what others have said in reference to similar things in the past. The "it depends on what you deem insightful" isn't an insult either. Please note the smilies. While I have found numerous posts of fable's insulting and offensive, I have also found some of his posts quite insightful. However, some posts I didn't find insightful, others did. You give fable the benifit of the doubt that he didn't mean anything insulting with "@SS," but you didn't give me the benifit of the doubt that I wasn't being serious, despite my use of smilies. Look, I don't want to get banned, I assure you of that, but I'm also getting frustrated with getting treated unfairly...while I'm sure you don't mean to do so, that is what you're doing...

<STRONG>Secondly, "While it's true that @SS' grousing has..." didn't stand out as a problem to me until Sailor Saturn mentioned it. I can see how one might perceive the post as breaking the forum rules, but I don't honestly know if this was meant to be derogatory or not. Even though some people don't always agree with Fable's posts, I have yet to see him deliberately break the forum rules, which makes me believe he meant nothing bad by it. So, giving him the benefit of the doubt, I will just ask that all of you use "@Sailor Saturn" or something similar to avoid confusion in the future.</STRONG>

I thank you for that, though I, personally, do not see why there was need for you to intervene. All that was needed was for fable to respond to my question about the "@SS" thing.

*heads off to pray she won't get banned as she waits for any possible response*

@Buck, I can assure you and everyone here that I've got far better things to do with my time than try to make silly, vulgar acronyms out of somebody's online handle. The whole thing is too petty. If I have a problem with someone, and I'm going to express it, it's going to be in direct address. My own past posts demonstrate this.

And I already answered this matter, when I replied to Gwalchmai's post, suggesting that "@SS" was the standard way we refer to that member.

I just want to refer fable back to my response to Mr Sleep's post. Also, I would like to point out that fable is the only one who referred to me as "@SS" when not using direct address. Everyone else referred to me as SS or something else entirely. I do not mean to accuse fable of maliciousness. I never meant to do so. I just didn't feel comfortable being referred to as "@SS" when it wasn't direct address because the "@" generally means it is being said at the person who imediately follows the "@." Does this make any sense to anyone other than me?
