Yea, I am that awesome. Seriously though, I was posting at the subject, so I am not sure where you thought I was posting specifically about you?


I didn't think you were posting about me specifically. Doesn't change the fact u jelly.
I'm jelly of both of you, because 'Idio' and 'Nam' are cooler abbreviated offensive names than 'Rep'. :(

Nam is a horribly offensive shorthand term. Vietnam war vets refer to Vietnam as "'Nam" and I'm not sure if I should be offended for the vets or the Vietnamese.

You Went There! o-o
This reminds me of a long ago thread made by a troll that claimed to be black and said blackguards were black and he was offended because he didn't want to kill them and we were all evil racists for wanting to kill blackguards. The dude clearly never read Shakespeare where all of them were white.
Remember that? For some strange reason, this forum attracts this kind of craziness.
Censored.

Humor comes in many forms, some people recognize none of them.


Satire is dependent on context, specifically, the culture of the community with which you are communicating.

An article about eating babies in famine is clearly not serious in Western culture, but if you write such a dissertation in a tribe of cannibals, your proposition will be seriously considered.

Let's just call them J-orbs and move on to more pressing issues.

Oh tell me you did not just say that.

J is short hand for Japanese(think J-pop). What is Japanese about rerolling the sockets in an item? Are you suggesting that Japanese people have their wife leave them because they are more focused on virtual sockets than the real world versions?

The abbreviation used for Jewellers' Orbs when setting trade prices in a public stash tab is "jew", which is goofy, awkward, and even a little offensive. I get that it's common forum parlance, but it's likely to be uncomfortable-making for anyone who's not bought in to forum culture.

Procurement uses the more reasonable abbreviation "jewel", which fits just fine. The likelihood of confusion with passive skill tree jewels is low, given that skill jewels are not interchangeable in value, and the feedback is immediate when selecting Jeweller's Orb what the abbreviation pertains to.


How is the word "Jew" offensive? Especially as an abbreviation for the word Jewelers? Do you have such a low opinion of others that you think they would be offended by mere words and abbreviation that are similar to cultural and racial terms, even when in this context have nothing to do with cultural or racial... anything?

Its not good to take offense of behalf of others that probably don't even perceive it as an offense. I seriously doubt any Jewish person is freaking out because words beginning with "jew" can be abbreviated as "jew".

Baffling...
