Title: Ban the use of "OP"
Post by: Rodent57 on May 18, 2017, 01:45:09 PM
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” – Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride.

... And it's all too easy when we hear or see others use words incorrectly and parrot them without knowing it's wrong.

Ban it, Ban it, Ban it!!!!

Would you mind coming down out of the Svengali bleachers and illuminate for the rest of us your definition of OP and why our definition of "Original Poster" is a dog whistle for a derogatory inference.

What does OP mean then if it does not mean original poster of the current post in progress? Old Person?? Ornery Pudnukker?? Olfactory Predilections??

Now I'm really confused.... :O

Dearest Tribly,

Inferring ill intent is not nice!

Please Stand by, you will likely see that 'OP' is used to mean a huge variety of things ... "Original Poster" being just one of them.

Since 2/34rds (a totally fictitious number picked by me) of the people that use it don't give enough context to be able to derive its intended meaning, we are left to simply wondering... "I wonder if he really meant to say Orange Poop?"

I don't have a definition of OP.  Other than asking what someone is trying to say.

PS  You are getting very sleepy!   :rolleyes:

So has there been an abuse of "OP" to the point that Hitech became involved and we are on the cusp of a rule#? Or coincidentally Hitech prefers references to the OP of a post be kept to the personal reference of their signed in ID? Coincidentally speaking.....

As for Svengali and Trilby, George du Maurier was making money off the fad of Gothic horror at the time. That was the real Svengaliish taking advantage of people paying money for a mind reading show. Give people what they want to believe, and they will give you money even if it's a lie because they have already slipped their own critical factor for the magician on the stage to lead astray.

Do you want a red ball or a blue ball, oops, I only have that green ball bouncing away over there.....you will now cluck like a chicken until I snap my fingers and you will awaken refreshed and remember nothing. At least in the shrinks office he gets your permission which is just as good as a bait and switch to slip your critical factor. The more mundane the better.

It can mean "original poster", referring to the person who started the topic.
It can also mean "original post", referring to the actual post #1 of the topic.

So, the OP is being silly with they way he wrote the OP.

This was an excellent example of how to troll without Skuzzy showing up at each respondents and the original poster's home with a real Norwegian troll to flatten your home with a ban Sequoia.

Perfect! :aok  ... and yet we still don't have any idea what someone is trying to say when they use that stupid 'word' - "Op".

to the op.  how do you propose ban the word and leave dick included.  I know the word dick is included because it's in the number one rule of ah, "dont be a dick".  but  now you want to add another rule "dont be an op"?  it doesnt have the same appeal.
