You are along with many people overtinking this, gunnar. As i have said before, I don't have problems that you and so many others seem to have. with any aspect of the rules and i do not go running looking for a way to leverage this or that.
Skip  You don't have a problem. Good for you. But some of us would like rules that dont depend on "Skip knows what they mean". And will you please stop spouting these accusations that anyone who doesn't agree with you is trying to leverage something, spin something, twist something, corrupt something or whatever. Can't you realize that most of us actually want to make things better for everybody, even if we happen to have different views on how to accomplish this. And I'm so f-ing tired seeing that roll-eyes icon every time. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

I apologize but I don't know how else to describe what I see and I find it just as offensive as you claim to find what I say. So where is the middle ground. I am being honest with you in my reaction and how i view it, and if have the temerity to try and explain something it is inevitably argued with automatically because after all it is Skip or so it seems.
As I have said none of this is a one way street, if i am supposed to respect the viewpoint of others and not come to conclusions the perhaps others need to THINK how their comments MIGHT be viewed.

| | Posted: | | | | I made a constructive suggestion with absolutely no disrespect to anyone.
You reply with snide remarks about leveraging, and a roll-eyes emoticon.
Just what part of that did you think would get you any respect? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Ax I said, Gunnar, look to yourself as well and the impact of what yoiu are saying might be received. I do not wiish to go into details, but i think i have made it fairly clear that many times you make comments that
may not be received, at least by this user, as you intend them to be. I hope that is true.

| | Posted: | | | | So, because you have found some of my earlier posts inflammatory you think you'll gain respect by acting insulting when I try to make positive, constructive suggestions?
Well, think again! | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Perhaps iit is how put your constuctive suggestion together, Gunnar. Like I said I don't want to go into details, let's say that perhaps you feel you are making a constructive suggestion, but they certainly don't come across that way.

| | Posted: | | | | Skip, just how would you described this post then: Quote:
A single name field would eliminate all uncertainties as to how to parse a name. Did I ever mention that I would prefer a signle name field...?
In lieu of that, I guess we need a Profiler specific definition. While John Wayne may be a stage name, I don't think very many of us would want to have it parsed John Wayne//.
"If it looks like a stage name..." is a rather vague description, but it probably reflects what Ken intended and what the majority would like. So I would probably say "If it mimics a real name (first name, possible middle name(s) and a last name), enter it as such, otherwise enter it all in the first name field".
I'm sure we will still have cases that may be difficult to decide, but it's the best I can think of. If somebody has a better definition, I'm open for suggestions. Just what is wrong with this post? And don't give me that "I won't go into detail" cop out. That's just adding insult to injury. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | What is wrong with it he asks.
I have repeatedly described our discussions over this and explained how we all felt about it and this was two years ago and we have followed that eversince. And you say YOU WANT, YOU Want do it locally, we treat John Wayne as a regular name NOT as a Stage Name. Gunnar as I have siad elsewhere, we are not gooing to reset the Rules and confuse everybody every time somebody or some group says I WANT to do it this way, That will only reduce participation and increase user confusion, so what is the Rule THIS WEEK.
I have done my level best to explain it to you, Gunnar and you say you don't like that. Ansd all i can say is I am sorry but it changes nothing.

| | Posted: | | | | Do you even read what I write?
I tried to make a suggestion that would put into the rules that names like John Wayne should be treated as a regular name, just like you want.
You insult me, and your defense is that I want to change the rules.
I don't want to change the rules, I want to clarify them. And nowhere in my post do I say anything remotely like "I want".
You, sir, are the most aggravating person to have a discussion with, because you are so fixated on your ideas that you cannot even recognize when someone is actually agreeing with you.
You attack without the slightest reason, and you have the audacity to accuse the rest of us of being insulting to you!!! You, sir, are contemptible! | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
