Shaving terms I don't like

Um, am I the only one who thinks this great thread has derailed pretty badly?

Yep. I didn't think that it was that great a thread topic, but I did think it had potential as I expected people to also have their own pet peeves related to this hobby, but I really didn't expect it to descend into a thread where people attacked each other.

I started it so people could have some fun, not for them to get after each other. We can always lock it, as the original intent has long been lost.

Why do I have this image of Elmer Fudd swinging wildly as Bugs Bunny holds him off by the forehead while munching a carrot? I shot a man,once, in military service . He burst from a hatch with a knife and my 1911 took out his kneecap. Ever since then these testosterone filled displays of epic girlyman  posturing are, well, fatiquing.

And what, pray tell, is fatiquing?

I think it's been pretty hilarious actually. Very entertaining!

I don't see this as a thread attacking others honestly. I've found that it has been pretty hilarious gents. Cherrio carry on indeed.

Honestly, yohannrjm, I don't think the thread should be locked and I even enjoyed the segue from shaving terms we don't like to the use of the English language in general.  What I didn't care for were the subtle and not so subtle attacks on various members.  That is where I felt the thread lost its way.  I enjoyed seeing what some saw as acceptable and others didn't, when writing or speaking.  The attacks were, and are, unnecessary.

To bring this thread back to its original intent, I have found that when I first got involved with wet shaving sites I was frustrated by the lack of proper English usage and, especially, the myriad acronyms.  Seeing the word your used for you're, or to when too is correct, used to get under my skin.  Acronyms frustrated me because I did not have a clue as to what they meant and I felt somewhat embarrassed having to ask because I felt as if I was the only one who didn't know.  Those things still bother me but, over the years, I have come around to Chris's (BadDad) way of thinking.  First of all, I am just as likely to make spelling, grammatical, or capitalization mistakes as anyone else.  Secondly, on DFS, I am more interested in content than spelling perfection.  Finally, I believe that very often emoticons or acronyms add just that little bit extra to what we are saying.  Therefore, while I shall try not to, I'll most likely continue to make written mistakes but sincerely hope the readers of my posts will be more interested in my thoughts than my occasional spelling and grammar lapses.

I remember when UPS delivered several large boxes with a state of the art GATEWAY Windows 98 with a fat tube monitor, a mouse and dial up connection. My first email from an online contact was like discovering a message in a bottle at the beach, first reply from my french pen pal and junior high school love note from Jennifer slipped in my locker.
I took stock tonight. I've been banned from three shaving forums for being anti semitic, anti latino and telling off an australian. I'm a liar about my military service, education, many onetime encounters to family relations with entertainment celebrities, a communist and I don't have Jesus in my heart and need to be saved. People know how I vote. A guy doing research on Northern Ireland was shocked I knew the story behind the official I.R.A. being called stickies and then called me liar when I said I had family members in the San Patricio Brigade, Fenian uprising, I.R.A. and also claim English ancestry which negated my credibility. I asked him about Erskine Childers and he didn't have a clue. I get emails from every liberal and environmental group known to man asking for money. If it's not a goat for a sub saharan family needing milk for children it's a project to save
wolverines in British Columbia. Now my literary legacy ( I have 3 short stories published in old university literary anthologies, a rejected doctoral thesis on a pacific marine migration alternative to a bering landbridge migration recently plagiarised) over a effing apsotraphe.
I'm tired. I was never on good terms with the 20th century and hate this 21st. Conservatives hate me, liberals question my sincerity and I don't have anyone to tango with anymore. My doctors change my diet almost monthly and are elated I shed 20 pounds and asked my secret? I told them I ran out of money the last week and lived on oatmeal and smoked herrrings. They smiled and reminded me to buy organic grapefruit at $2 each and eat fresh salmon.
Society has largely fled into either reenactor sub cultures of Steampunks arguing with SCC knight errants over city park reservations or tuned out and a menace on road and sidewalk texting,tweeting and sexting.
I'm going to bed. I still have a modicum of privacy in that endeavor and little criticism on how I do it.

KAV, not that you would ever require my validation, but I think I rather like you.

You've kept me entertained...

And you go to bed too early. Be a man and stay up late like real men do...

I don't believe that the wolverine is endangered. I suspect that organization is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Marvel Super hero character Wolverine and is preying on those movie fans who don't even know that wolverine was an animal before it was a razor-handed psychopath and aww, isn't it cute, we've got to save it and the planet. And the whales/dolphins/burrowing owls/some insignificant frog/kangaroo rat/ rattle snakes but not any insects or fish because they're yucky and have scales and exoskeletons and notwithstanding the fact that the rattle snake has scales its conveniently distributed such that insisting on saving it can delay/stop worthwhile energy project development so they have to be saved. Cynical? A bit. I apologize for the poor grammar and run on sentences. I also apologize for calling the wolverine cute because in reality its not cute at all. I wonder if we can make shaving brushes from its fur?
