I've been watching this thread for a few days now. It's funny how these pissing contests start.

@OP, while I can sympathize, this thread is no real way to get your point across. PM a Mod, or several, and have a discussion with them one on one about the issue.

@All others saying this is a useless thread, perhaps you're right. What's the point in posting something like this anyway? It's only flame bait, however, you have the option not to read it or even post, thus anything from there on is your own fault and just showing how immature/idiotic you are, if in fact you are helping the flames.

Yes, this tag issue has been around a long time and nothing's been done about it. Talk to the Mods/Admins privately, bug them lots if you FEEL you must and get on with your life. If you're against this, then why even comment? Keep doing what you all do and let your tags do your talking for you, even if us regular users don't know who it is.

-Quick Edit-
Small addition before I'm done with my post. I am kinda siding with the people that say "don't read the tags if you're offended". There's no point in getting mad about the tags being used, why? It's the internet. Those words can't physically harm you, they can't make you lose your job, your house or your personal belongings. If you take it too personal, you have a problem. I've learned this and am making great strides in improving that about myself. However, the point is that this forum is one of thousands, perhaps even millions out there for you to view, some that are even spam/flame-free (okay, that's a stretch). Move on with your life and ignore the tags. They won't do you any real harm, I swear.
