Talk:Shadow of Fear

wtf is up with the neutering comment? It should more likely be neutralizing (making something not a threat). Neutering is making a cat or dog incapable of sex.--Cursed Condemner 22:21, 18 February 2007 (CST)
 * Heh, yeah, neutralize would be a better word IMO. Gandorf 22:25, 18 February 2007 (CST)
 * Fast answer. It's on the Meekness page too.--Cursed Condemner 22:34, 18 February 2007 (CST)
 * Fixed. You can change stuff like this yourself ya know :) –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 22:44, 18 February 2007 (CST)
 * I'm kind of new and a little hesitant of changing stuff.--Cursed Condemner 23:17, 18 February 2007 (CST)
 * Metaphor. --Fyren 07:00, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 * It's an explanation on a wiki. Also: I'm not english and I wouldn't have gotten the metaphor, I'm sure not every person reading it would get it. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 09:23, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 * "Neutralizing" still isn't the right term. It does not mean the same thing as neutering.  --Fyren 18:44, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Okay what is then, at least its better than neutering because comparing Rangers and Warriors to cats and dogs doesn't make a whole lot of sense IMO.--Cursed Condemner 10:28, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Changing it back to neutralizing, more people then not will see it as the animal definition.
 * reverted temporarily until fyren responds, which he should. Come on Fyren, we all know you're reading this, you even said you check all skill edits ;P –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 22:24, 25 April 2007 (CDT)


 * So wouldn't it be like the phrase "neutralizing a threat"? It is not strictly the most ideal adjective in this situation (since to neutralize a threat would be to render it inert)...but it seems good enough. Humm, thesaurus time. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:05, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree with Entropy, the two skills, when used in concert, are to, in effect, prevent Warriors, Rangers and Paragons from becoming a danger to your team, thus "neutralising a threat". Though they still have a battlefield presence, their ability to become a threat is reduced to almost nothing. To neuter them is conceptually correct (they can't apply what they're supposed to do), the word is more commonly used veterinarially and does not conjure the same image as "neutralise a threat". --Kale Ironfist 22:37, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
