The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice I thought that was true, but what do I know. I do one round of bullet point replies then I'm out of the ball game.
Do you really think using out-of-context quotes proves your point? That's only in BARBERSHOP. If you bothered to read further:
The "lead" in barbershop music is equivalent to the normal tenor range
So, yeah. You're still wrong.
If the game was called Jack Boarders and didn't feature characters from other games equally it would be Megaten enough.
Well, considering the enemies aren't Megaten related at all... I mean have you even read about the story to this game?
In English, "potpourri" is often used to refer to any collection of miscellaneous or diverse items. You're just being neurotic and childish, and if you can find any instance where I'm technically wrong you win a prize.
Look, you don't have to call me names just to justify your erroneous choice of words. A "potpourri" used to describe a miscellany of things describes the whole, it does not describe individual elements. All the game articles would have to be "potpourri," for it to actually be "potpourri."
Wanting to be correct is hardly being neurotic. Insisting on the precise order of elements within an alphabetical tree however probably is. 
If you're offended by a French loan word or the cut of it's jib or whatever, ok. I'll consider suitable replacements as they're presented. But the usage is not wrong by any measure... you however are on this petty point. Give it up 
I'm not offended, you just plainly are wrong to be using it in this context. "Spin-offs," is probably the only real choice.

I never said I was right. I said "I thought". I'm always clear when I don't know what I'm talking about 
You're making a pissing contest out of thin air. Sorry, but I'm not gonna defend a mispelling to the death.

As long as the enemies aren't from another franchise it's fine. Not worth getting twisted up about.

That's not true... you're just pulling that out of your ass. First you've never heard the word used before, now your an authority?? It basically just means "stuff" ...it's not hard to figure out

That's just the way Wordpress organizes itself. There's no real way to get around it for now. Besides I think it's a natural way to organize things when dealing with a lot of information. And it should be applied consistently.

All the games are spin-offs. Well technically except for the ones in the potpourri section

Then don't. Don't back-peddle now. Just because you said "I thought" doesn't excuse the fact that you used an out-of-context quote from Wikipedia to back your false idea of what the tenor range is.
That's not true... you're just pulling that out of your ass. First you've never heard the word used before, now your an authority?? It basically just means "stuff" ...it's not hard to figure out
No it does not "basically mean stuff."  You are pointedly the one pulling stuff out of your ass, or random, unrelated websites as it were. I've never heard the word used to describe an alike subclass of elements that don't fit into main categories, no, and I know you haven't either.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be alphabetical, I just think you're being unaccountably anal about the occurrence of elements within that list if it is alphabetical, I.E. insisting that the "Spin-offs" section occurs last.

Where you got that from, I'll never know.

Oh, please. It's just because you know you don't have a leg to stand on. Just change it already.

Yeah I don't have the stamina to address this sort of thing, but I want people to fill their input is valued.
If people wanna make bbs posting a back and forth sport, there isn't much we can do but split the cancer off. The true test of whether this is "like the haven" or not is how situations are handled, not what situations may arise. You can't legislate morals.
Splitting...

For the record, Potpourri is literally the only word that seems to fit in this situation. I imagine that is why people use the word -- generally words exist to fill a void.
The only viable alternative I can see is to give Jack Bros. and Pinball their own sections alongside the major series.
I'm here to technically facilitate the site. That means at times making necessary decisions in a pinch. I don't approve of the tone in which this particular episode has played out. At the least if you have these sorts of spurious concerns in the future, make a thread (especially if you know you're prone to fly off on a never ending tangent)
As an administrator I can not always afford to ignore contributors. But I will do so after numerous warnings. At the minimum I recommend an infinitely less adversarial demeanor if you insist your concerns be regarded with seriousness.

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm being adversarial. If you can't deal with the honest efforts of someone trying (probably in vain) to correct a mistake you made, that's your problem not mine.
It does concern me slightly that the site administrator tells me I'm "being a fag," because I don't want to the site to use an incorrect word though. If anything, you're the one being adversarial. You're refusing to change one stupid little word because of your baseless insistence that it's appropriate even after I've provided numerous examples as to why it pointedly isn't. You're just throwing stones from a glass house.

Nah, this place lacks wacked bondage angel-wannabes and associated parroters.
I don't understand why people can't disagree on something on the internet without someone (who usually is not even taking part in the argument in the first place) being offended.

If you say "A collection of articles about a potpourri of Megaten games," you'd be referring to ALL of them. You can't pick out an individual sub-classification and call it "potpourri." It makes no sense.
If you say, "A collection of articles about miscellaneous Megaten games," that actually makes sense.
Seriously, if you don't get it by now then you're pretty much hopeless.

You're being a fag cause your making a big todo about nothing...
I haven't seen you prove anything, yet I've provided incontravertible evidence up the wazoo (as if it matters)
You're just not helping at some point (generally after the 3rd post)

No, you've provided nothing but anecdotal evidence used out of context. You're just fucking wrong.
And plainly, you've been a huge douche about this from the beginning. I'm just trying to help you, but it's clear that you don't want or need my help.

Thing is I don't care. I dunno where you're getting these ideas in the first place. If there isn't a section on a word in an English textbook then there is no sanctified usage of it to speak of.
I know how people use potpourri, and what they mean when they do so. It's that simple. If you think it inappropriate fine, but it isn't incorrect.
There are bigger fish to fry than this. Your're just wasting our time.

Great, glad we could establish this. It is totally incorrect but whatever. You're "always right," remember?  Fucking thick as a brick, that's for sure.
I've pointed to plenty of English textbooks, remember? And I just provided usage.
AT this point though, it's so not worth arguing about because I already know you won't change it. Whether it's not to look like a moron or because you just can't be wrong for any reason, I don't really care.
Better get "facilitating," that page then, because I'm surely not going to do it. I don't want my handle anywhere near it.

Are you arrogant enough to declare this website (http://www.civilwarhome.com/potpourr.htm) in breech of the potpourri laws?
I have an alternative way of handling it. If you want an alternative, don't bitch, present.

We can say whatever we like, but the evidence is on the table for anyone who might care (or as much for defamatory statements in general)

This may have been a general statement and I will treat it as such, but I wasn't offended. After not checking this place out for various reasons for the past several weeks, I happened to look at this thread first. With little to no traffic, of course threads like this are going to stick out. It has little to do with two people disagreeing and more to do with the asinine manner in which they are doing it and the topic that is being disagreed about. I guess my enthusiasm about this board was misplaced.
Isn't this something the two of you could have handled via PMs? I know one of you stated that there isn't traffic here because no one is aware of the place, but I can assure you that I have tried to direct a handful of friends and former posters back here only to have them be totally turned off by some of the on going prattle. Fuck, I would rather see Heat around here and read his crap posts -- and that is pretty bad.
It does look pretty adversarial, and yeah, despite the lack of certain characterizations, it does look like the Haven.
