Silly Title wanted, or not!

[Lady M]

Just to clarify, when many of us speak of titles, we are not referring to the ones based on poast count but to those bestowed on individuals. Raphael was The Kilted Dragon, I was the Kilted Writer, Grant was the Grand Defender of the Rubber Chicken. Those titles were earned. They were not based upon post counts.

Steve has already stated that those (in some form) will return and for some people they already have. So, discussing them is moot.

Respectfully: I don't think any discussion is "moot" until we have an official announcement from Steve that those titles are now restored. I think Rob was right to bring up that distinction between those titles and the "canned" ones that were based on the number of posts.

If Steve has plans to restore some (if not all) personal titles, discussing those particular titles doesn't do a lot of good as none of us know which titles will return and for whom. We should patiently wait for the process to be finished rather than huff and puff about something that hasn't happened yet. I'm sure Steve has a lot of things on his plate, we need to give him the time. Which leaves me back again, I believe the argument is moot until we hear more information from Steve. At this point, it's all just speculation.

I find your tone in these last two posts a little dismissive, Lady M. I personally believe (and that and $1.25 will get you a cup of coffee) that Rob was right to distinguish between the canned titles and those that had been given to certain members of the forum by former members of the Mod Squad. I think you're assuming that Rob had an axe to grind. It was really a point of information only. Note that he began his post with the phrase, "Just to clarify...".

I'm sure Steve will reply to this thread and give us an estimated time of when the honourary titles will be returned.

I don't believe suggesting patience is being dismissive.

As a general note, I'd like to request that any further inquiries to my opinions or further discussion be sent via PM.

Go back and read your initial reply to Rob's post -- all Rob posted was a general clarification. Nowhere did he "huff & puff" about when the titles were going to be returned, as you implied.

Just to clarify, I told Rob the discussion was moot, that is all. My "huff and puff" was a reply to you, making a general statement about this thread and other threads like it. At no time did I "imply" something about Rob personally. In fact, his as post was just a clarification and not even an argument, it wouldn't make any sense if I had directed it at him. If he felt that way, then I'm afraid we had a misunderstanding which he and I can clear up ourselves without further stirring of the pot, so to speak.

As I said, please send all inquiries via private message, I'm not interested in arguing over implied tones or semantics. I stated a brief opinion on the matter, an expression that we should all have some patience. It seems to have been taken in a bad light, which is unfortunate however it's just my opinion... Nothing to worry about.

I was just making a comment to clarify for others in earlier posts that not all the titles being discussed were those (the titles) people earned based on post count, hence my emphasis on them being earned. Read into the rest what you will.
