Post #376 by onepoorguy on the Atheist Shrewds board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

OK...when did clothing become "gear"? When I was growing up, "gear" was other stuff like backpacks, hatchets, tents, crampons, rope, and other such similar items. Basically, anything that was extra after your clothes. So, even rain or snow gear (jackets, parka). But the basic clothes you're wearing?? That seems to be referred to as "gear" in a lot of advertising.

IMHO, it's just a marketing thing to increase appeal. I'm just not sure what it would do that (i.e. increase appeal). It's a pair of yoga pants, not "gear"...get over it.
