Time to abandon TAS?

[rprosperi]

tw - PLEASE reconsider and stick around, you contribute often, it's usually of interest and always with a positive and generous spirit. I and many others would hate to see you go.

And certainly don't let Max's bullying get to you. As a former member (who previously held the bullying crown) put it - he can't help it, he's German.

You've only picked-up slang that most older users here still use. The historical reasons that led to it (and it really was never necessary to use) don't even matter. At this point, it's easier to type TAS than eBay, so I often use it, and will continue to. If I use TAS or eBay or theBay or occasionally worse names depends on the context and on my mood.

If any behavior here is decidedly not grown-up it's his, insisting everyone stop using a phase which he has chosen to abandon. Doing so is his right. Not doing so is yours. But telling other people what to do and denigrating them for not choosing to follow his lead is certainly not grown-up. And maybe even reportable...
