Duck, Duck, Duck,
You are becoming a mite thin skinned and touchy.
From when does a factual statement become abusive ?
"DISDAIN" in this context can only mean "not worth responding to ".
Now that is just factual and NOT abusive
Let's have a dictionary be the last judge of what that word means - and as you will see, tere really isn't much room to wiggle out of that one. The word is pretty unilaterally defined as an abusive one, in any context:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=disdain
"dis·dain P Pronunciation Key (ds-dn)
tr.v. dis·dained, dis·dain·ing, dis·dains
To regard or treat with haughty contempt; despise. See Synonyms at despise.
To consider or reject as beneath oneself."
disdain
n 1: lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of intense dislike; "he was held in contempt"; "the despite in which outsiders were held is legendary" [syn: contempt, scorn, despite] 2: a communication that indicates lack of respect by patronizing the recipient [syn: condescension, patronage] v 1: look down on with disdain; "He despises the people he has to work for"; "The professor scorns the students who don't catch on immediately" [syn: contemn, despise, scorn] 2: reject with contempt; "She spurned his advances" [syn: reject, spurn, freeze off, scorn, pooh-pooh, turn down]
... it's okay, English is probably not your first language, right?

Duck,
No, English is NOT my first language.
And I sincerely hope that you are not claiming it as yours- because your comprehension is way off.
So - "disdain" in this context stands for "look down on" OR "do not consider worth responding to ".
From when does that become abusive ??
Anyway,
Let's not get away from the subject at hand - which is :-
(a) If you or Bimmher wish to encourage members to contribute then do so with a positive attitude and positive posts - NOT a negative attitude and negative posts.
(b) Realise that different members have different ways and different time frames for showing their appreciation to BK for BTF - and you have not cornered the Market on this sentiment.
Having said that - Seasons Greetings.

This appears to be an issue of comprehension and misinterpretation - so let's drop it, but do believe me that there are no alternatives to interpreting the word 'disdain' to native English speakers, than in an abusive manner. You may believe me, or not.

Fair enough, on both counts.

Speaking as a newcomer to BKT, and as someone who has not paid a bhat.
It does look like some (a few) people who have made a contribution to the owner of the site think it has given them the right to be a shareholder in the board.
I am sure that is not the case, so if you have given, get down off your high horse, you didnt buy the respect of the other members but you sure are losing any that you may of had by all the BS you are spreading now!
The only person that has come out of this thread with any dignity is Ziplari, his (her?) silence speaks volumes.

Wise Ass is new, but the BS that is in here is the same old BS that can be seen in many if not all forums.
A very wise man once said, "stupid is as stupid does"
enough said!

This reminds me of an Black Adder episode:
Wisewoman: Hail Edmund, lord of Adders Black.
Edmund: Hello.
Wisewoman: Step no nearer, for already I see thy bloody purpose. Thou plot is,
Blackadder: thou wouldst be king and drown Middlesex in a butt of
wine. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Edmund: No, no, no, no. it is far worse than that. I'm in love with my man
servant.
Wisewoman: Oh well, I'd sleep with him if I were you.
Edmund: What?
Wisewoman: When I fancy people, I sleep with them. Oh, I have to drug them
first of course! Being so old and watty.
Edmund: But what about my position, my social life?
Wisewoman: Very well then. Three other paths are open to you. Three cunning
plans to cure thy ailment.
Edmund: Oh good.
Wisewoman: The first is simple. Kill Bob!
Edmund: Never.
Wisewoman: Then try the second. Kill your self!
Edmund: Neu. And the third?
Wisewoman: The third is to ensure that no one else ever knows.
Edmund: Ha, that sounds more like it. How?
Wisewoman: Kill everybody in the whole world. Ah, ha, ha...
