I'm not usually one to rub things in peoples faces.

In fact, I hate doing it.

But I could let this oppurtunity pass.

Top Score - A Nintendo franchise outsold the unbeatable Vice City

Yes, flame me all you will, but I'm retardant... Flame Retardant...

Looks like he's referring to himself to me.

Yea I see that, but it's not the issue. It's just a normal forum, and anyone can join and come in and see it. People wont stop at every name and tag line just to make sure it's not an anagram.

Listen up. Because I'm not going to repeat myself. A few of us were seeing what other inane phrases anagrams of our usernames could make. Insane Bartender is an anagram of An Eastern Inbred. So he put that as his tagline. In its' complete and unedited form.

It's not rocket science, you know.

But then the whole point of his tag is lost. It wouldn't be an anagram anymore.

Ok, so the meaning of IB’s tagline is harmless. That’s fine, and I am sorry for that IB. However, I take issue with the use of “An” rather than the use of “The”.
“An” (or “A”) is used to describe one, but does not specify which. It is a random. Like saying “buy me a car”. Which one do you mean, etc?

“The” is used to specify a particular object or person.

For example, I might say,
Please get me an airbrush. This does not indicate which one, and also may assume there are many such items.

However, if I said,
Please get me the airbrush. This would indicate a singular object only.


So IB should be “The Eastern inbred”, not “An Eastern inbred”.

Most people on seeing IBs tagline would think IB was describing himself as an eastern unbread.

Have you even stoped to think that his tagline says An Eastern Inbread implying one eastern person who is an inbread (who in this case appears to be IB). It doesn't say all easterners are inbreads. You made that jump of logic yourself.

No, it isn't, but lets laugh at him for it.

Nobody, to date, has thought anything of my tagline except for yourself. Certainly, nobody has "assumed the worst". As I keep needing to repeat, the only people who will find it offensive are those who want to find something offensive in it. Admit that you were wrong to insinuate that I'm a racist, and I'll let the subject rest.
