In my opinion, I've said things that caused upset, but that was not my intention. I'd get less reaction if I said the word brewer means incest dog in Sumerian. The dogma I refer to is, "We've been calling ourselves this for so long, you must hate us for not wanting us to change". Not the case.

The obsessed thing was actually something I joined together on the theory that this was a pop psych phenom. The anal retentive thing is the actual argument. I do think that obsessed is overused just like I think passionate is on the professional side. And yes, Moto, I'm sure I have used them in...

For those of you that said I am upset. Please identify the words or phrases that indicate this.

Yes, it absolutely does. And that is why I asked that we change. Can we stop using Pop Psychology to define our brewing? I find meticulous more instructive than anal. I find enthused better than obsessed. That's my opinion.

In fact, it was not. I asked if we could stop. It was a question. I then discussed the origin of the word and pointed out how the current usage is at odds.

The second sentence was about the general tenor of the replies and not you specifically.

Did you really think that my quote in a football smack thread is indicative or instructive of anything being discussed?

Yes, I must have a locust-like hang up that only surfaces every 7 years or so.

It bothered me enough to finally after 6 years on this board and 20 years of brewing to say so. Er. ya. I guess I have a problem eh. I know there was a thread about calling yeast yeasties and an entire thread on "disfluencies" we all hate. I've clearly struck a nerve here. If I may use a...

I agree that it has in this community, but not everywhere. It's also about context. We think nothing about calling someone a scumbag, but it literally means condom. If someone in the your community calls you a scumbag, it's quite different than if a 7 year old did. We have new people coming...

As much as I hate to moderate my own thread, I'm asking that you stay on topic. I present a brewing topic in the correct forum with sincerity. I think when we throw around these terms without thoughts as to their actual meaning, we denigrate the hobby. There are plenty of neo-prohibitionists...

You would never correct someone who said something like, "I like Miller light because it is triple hopped." because Miller is trying to re-define what that actually means. You would never correct someone that characterized your brewing as being made in a bathtub. FYI...

No one is or should be Anal about sanitation. This is short for anal retentive. Its a stage in Freudian theory that you are supposed to emerge from and move on. If you were truly anal about brewing sanitation, you would be doing so at the detriment of the rest of your process as well as being...

This will probably give Jay an orgasm but I think BB looks somewhat like Harvey Keitel.

Ok, I'm going to shut this down. Santan is a great brewery in Arizona and they don't deserve to be dragged through the mud because one of their (probably new) employees is not versed on dealing with the public. Since the OP won't respond, I'll chalk it up as a gross misunderstanding on...

I was actually defending you. People asked that I ban your account because it looked like a spam account. KJLee I stated that your 2 posts made more sense to me because I'm from AZ. You posted incomplete phrases and misspelled your own place of work. Your posts were in 2 completely...

Drunk posts. Santan has a Mexican Stout and Papago has a robust porter. These are factual, but disconnected posts that someone from AZ would know

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
