To add to this - I love the fact that other members (particularly staff) have been able to find a special someone that is also a BZP member. I don't condone the fact that this is a very sweet and celebratory occasion. =)

 

I just find that this "Smeagkira" term is getting a bit out of hand, is all, and I wish it weren't used in some of the contexts I have gazed upon. Respect other people, please. =\

I to agree with waht Nikira said, and am most happy I did not see this, or I would've been upset. that was a nicely put entry, Smeagol.

Was it really needed to take it this personally? People aren't trivializing your relationship, they're just having fun, isn't this a bit of an overreaction to things, as well as a bit egotistical to assume it's all because of you two? No doubt you caused some of it, but you act like it was all you.

 

Please disregard this, I posted it while tired and seeing something that struck me as off-balance, and as such reacted a bit rashly.

If it was all just for fun, I would not be making a deal out of it at all.

 

When I start to get rude and hurtful PMs and off-site messages degrading myself and Smeag because of said circumstances, I feel that is taking it too far, and I do not appreciate myself or people I love being put down in such a manner. I also don't want to see this happening to other people simply because they thought the whole thing was "a joke".

 

I know it was not originally caused by us - we never said the situation was caused by us at all. The reactions are just catapulting onto us, which is not something to be tossed aside at this point.

I suppose that's fair.

 

Similarly to the above I apologize for this as well, I was still a bit annoyed about my original perception and that air appears to have been taken into this as well.

Just for the sake of my conscience, I'd like to say I only approved of Turk and TLH being together, nothing more. But I also didn't know it was taken this seriously by you two, though I do know you two have a serious relationship and I fully respect that.

 

So yeah. I just didn't wanna feel bad for something I dunno I did anything bad in. XD

 

~EW~

I'm significantly disappointed that it's gotten to the point where this has to be said. To think that some actually consider it to be so trivial... Disappointing, to say the least.

"Smeagkira"

Ew, I hate when people combine names like that; in fact, I was never a fan of the original name combo that started that horrible "tradition." (I haven't even noticed that one before.) Forcibly combining words is pretty tacky, but even if the words would go together, it still seems degrading of the individuality of each person. :/

 

Aye, BZPower is most definitely not intended as a meeting grounds for potential dates, as it is a site for a children's toy.

 

Today is the very first time that I've heard your two names combined. Seems this bit of internet-drama has completely bypassed me, for which I am quite thankful.

 

You two rock, on your own and as a couple ^^ And no stupid nickname can change that.

I for one believe that people should mind their own business a little better, or at least respect people's lives and the decisions they make, especially with something as important and life-changing as loving someone.

 

If they can't grant you that much, then they need to kindly go away.

 

 

Also, the term Smeagkira is probably one of the stupidest things I've seen on this site, and I've seen some stupid stuff, but that's just me =\

To tell you the truth, I didn't even know this until just now. But I'll be respectfull of it.
