The Flood / The Weeb word needs to stop.« on: January 24, 2015, 06:11:40 AM »
Our use of the weeb word is getting out of control. You can't enter a single thread without being bombarded my post after post containing the weeb word. The plethora of users so so freely throw around the weeb word don't understand the effects it has on the mind of weeb people. It's very offensive and quite frankly immature to use the weeb word in such a nonchalant manner. It's gotten to the point that we say the weeb word just as much as we say things like nigger and gay orgy. The flagrant misuse of the weeb word must be stopped. I propose the motion that any time somebody types the weeb word it is filtered to say Slash's mum.
Please vote on wether or not to enact my idea in the thread below. I was going to make a poll but I couldn't find the option to make certain fandoms votes only be 3/5th of a vote. 430

Elegiac
Elegiac refers either generally to compositions that are like elegies or specifically to Greek and Latin poetry composed in elegiac couplets, in which a line of dactylic hexameter is followed by a line of dactylic pentameter. Because the hexameter line is in the same meter as epic poetry and because the elegiac form was always considered lower style than epic, elegists frequently wrote with epic in mind and positioned themselves in relation to epic. Classical poets The first examples of elegiac poetry in writing come from classical Greece. The form dates back nearly as early as epic, with such authors as Archilocus and Simonides of Ceos from early in the history of Greece. The first great elegiac poet of the Hellenistic period was Philitas of Cos: Augustan poets identified his name with great elegiac writing.[1] One of the most influential elegiac writers was Philitas' rival Callimachus, who had an enormous impact on Roman poets, both elegists and non-elegists alike. He promulgated the idea that elegy, shorter and more compact than epic, could be even more beautiful and worthy of appreciation. Propertius linked him to his rival with the following well-known couplet: Callimachi Manes et Coi sacra Philetae, in vestrum, quaeso, me sinite ire nemus.[2] Callimachus' spirit, and shrine of Philitas of Cos, let me enter your sacred grove, I beseech you. The 1st century AD rhetorician Quintilian ranked Philitas second only to Callimachus among the elegiac poets.[3] The foremost elegiac writers of the Roman era were Catullus, Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid. Catullus, a generation earlier than the other three, influenced his younger counterparts greatly. They all, particularly Propertius, drew influence from Callimachus, and they also clearly read each other and responded to each other's works. Notably, Catullus and Ovid wrote in non-elegiac meters as well, but Propertius and Tibullus did not. English poets The "elegy" was originally a classical form with few English examples. However, in 1751, Thomas Gray wrote "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". That poem inspired numerous imitators, and soon both the revived Pindaric ode and "elegy" were commonplace. Gray used the term elegy for a poem of solitude and mourning, and not just for funereal (eulogy) verse. He also freed the elegy from the classical elegiac meter. Afterward, Samuel Taylor Coleridge argued that the elegiac is the form "most natural to the reflective mind" and that it may be upon any subject, so long as it reflects on the poet himself. Coleridge was quite aware that his definition conflated the elegiac with the lyric, but he was emphasizing the recollected and reflective nature of the lyric he favored and referring to the sort of elegy that had been popularized by Gray. Similarly, William Wordsworth had said that poetry should come from "emotions recollected in tranquility" (Preface to Lyrical Ballads, emphasis added). After the Romantics, "elegiac" slowly returned to its narrower meaning of verse composed in memory of the dead. In other examples of poetry such as Alfred Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott", an elegiac tone can be used, where the author is praising someone in a sombre tone. J. R. R. Tolkien in his essay "Beowulf: the Monsters and the Critics" argues that Beowulf is a heroic elegy. 437

This has been posted before, but I think it's worth sharing again.
Tab for a Cause is a browser addon that changes what happens when you open up a blank tab. Every time you do so, a little ad in the corner helps to draw just a little bit of money to charity. Every new tab you open gives you one "heart" which you can then choose to spend on either one of five categories (Human Rights, Water, Education, Health, The Environment) or to specific charities such as Human Rights Watch and Save the Children. This works. This helps people. Here's a picture from my statistics page, showing an example of what Tab for a Cause can do. It's free, and it's effective. Consider installing it today. http://www.tabforacause.org/ 450
