<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Yes, exactly, agreed. You started a discussion and several of us expressed our opinions and/or disagreements and/or concerns, except for the admins because generally what they say isn't opinion, it's authoritative (as in what they say goes). No one was rude. Because someone disagrees with you or criticizes something you say does not mean they're being rude/mean/personal.<br>
<br>If you pose an issue to a whole email list of people asking for their opinion you're going to indeed get it. So your last statements are ironic, clearly you map out your understanding of debate/discussion and then contradict yourself within that statement of "understanding" by not being understanding.<br>
<br>Am I being rude now or arguing or was I ever being rude? No, still just discussing and directly, appropriately, intelligently and validly responding to your responses, though now off-topic. You can <i>think</i> I'm rude or you can <i>understand</i> that I'm straightforward and honest. That I speak my mind and say what I mean and mean what I say.<br>
<br>In any case we're now just beating a dead horse, as in the admins have already spoken on the subject (probably why they feel no need to further engage). Am I trying to one-up you or be confrontational, no, this isn't reddit, we're a group of volunteers discussing things that interest/matter to us. I engage in conversations I have interest or stock in. Clearly, you can see that my responses are thoughtful, detailed and well-rounded, not blatant trolling. Anything else, is what YOU read into it which I certainly have no control over.<br>
<br>At this point, anything further is strictly conversation out of pure interest/understanding which is fine if you'd still like to discuss, so long as you <i>actually</i> understand what you yourself are saying in your last statement and practice that understanding instead of just saying it. But, the specific/original subject at hand feels pretty much concluded.<div class="im HOEnZb">

A little tolerance towards people with differing views is not too much to ask in this age, is it?<br><br>Agreeing, disagreeing, expressing concern is part of discussion, no need to be rude about it. <br><div>

This is ridiculous. Why is this even up for discussion any more? The name is legit, the site is legit, the theme is legit. In any case, Chip, an admin, has spoken on the subject. This just sounds personal and petty. Don't be subjective, be objective.<br>
<br>Doesn't matter what the domain has been through in the past, that happens sometimes. Frankly, the behavior of some on the review team going to great lengths to investigate this matter seems more questionable than this person's choice in a URL/site/brand name which is really none of our business anyways. Can you say witch hunt?<br>
<br>If anyone denies this theme based solely on it's name/URL (given that you only subjectively don't get it or otherwise disagree with it) as apposed to it actually having design or function flaws you're ethically wrong, period and this is what will need to be examined further. As Chip said which anyone with half a sense agrees with, words have many meanings, especially from culture to culture or even person to person, especially creatives. Look at how many words we simply make up on a daily basis.<br>
<br>If this is somehow found to be spam later, remove it. It's hardly creating a precedence for spammers, who's going to know, who's going to care? Look at the scrutiny that's already put on the themes, look at how many themes even make it into the repo in the first place. I think the world of WordPress theme reviews will be fine.<br>
