| I get it also but like I said... its SINGULAR
The Movement Legion is grammatically correct as it fits into describing the clan as a WHOLE (singular)
However I can't say "he's a fellow legion" as it wouldn't make any sense.... ya see? That would be like saying he's a fellow CLAN.
That's all I was saying. No need for sensitivity. |

| Actually tuff the way YOU'RE putting is making it singular. Saying "he's a fellow legion" is different from saying "he's legion".
Either way go ahead and withdraw my suggestion. Rather than you guys just taking it as a suggestion, which is all it was, you've turned it into a debate. Legion the way I meant it refers to many... no ifs, ands or butts. It doesn't have to be what we call the clan. It was just a suggestion.
I suppose the Miami Heat are retards for calling their team something singular. LOL |

Ok Hells, maybe you just don't what we mean. The "Movement" is not a city or state, that is our CLAN NAME and it's ALREADY singular. If we put a singular nickname, it's redundant and diminishes our clan name. Because if we put something like Legion or Force or something, people will start to call us The Legion or The Force and NOT The Movement.
We're already identified as a group by "The Movement", we're just trying to come up with a NICKNAME TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS AND SOMETHING SINGULAR WILL NOT WORK. We're not trying to turn this into a debate, Hells. We just wan't everyone to undestand what we're looking for, that's all dude.

The Heat is an NBA team Gen and the other guys are probably just coming down off the holiday, that's why were gonna leave voting up for a couple of weeks. |

The Miami Heat is their name... like The Movement is our name. Heat is not a nickname for their players. I doubt they refer to each other as Heat.
No one is withdrawing your suggestion Hells we're just discussing it. I don't understand why you get so worked up when someone either disagrees or discusses ideas or things you bring up. Its like no one can remotely challenge your ideas without you getting mad.
Obviously ANY idea that ANYONE brings to the table is going to be discussed so why so sensitive? |

| Who wouldn't get defensive about their suggestion which is the ONLY suggestion so far, getting shot down as if it were the final decision. You guys turned my suggestion into a debate when all you had to do was accept it as an opinion. This whole thread so far has been about my one word that I suggested. All I have to say about that is "WOW!". I really don't care what anyone calls each other. In the end I will still refer to everyone as clanmembers or clanmates but that's just me.
Tony started this thread and asked for opinions or suggestions. As the original poster of the thread, the right thing to do when starting a thread that asks for opinions, is to make an opinion of his own which he failed to do. The reason I get worked up is because it seems like some people here don't respect other people's opinions and somehow feel like they have to chime in anytime they don't agree with an opinion. I respect other people's views and opinions because their opinions are theirs and I leave it at that. I don't make it a habit of posting to let them know I don't like their opinion or try to make them feel like they're wrong. I might even stop posting here all-together.
Just forget about the whole Legion thing. Now all I want is for you guys to understand that "Legion" is NOT singular. |
