If you understand that, you win a coupon for one free congratulatory, and hearty, handshake. If you don’t get it, a coupon for a free beating about the head and neck.
What about Titles/Rank and that sort of thing? I generally wouldn’t care as I assume those are modified for/by seasoned members, and at the discretion of mods. Plus, it is a post based system, which makes the ranks more novelty than anything.
However, in my case, I honestly don’t feel deserving of the title. I lack any talent as a philosopher, try as I might. If there are people looking at rank as a measure of what to expect, I’ll only serve to disappoint. I’m a sideshow, a detour.
It really makes no difference in the scheme of things, and this is by no means an urgent request. I’d prefer something more along the lines of “student”, “hypocrite”, or even “dick head” [if you find it fitting]. Assuming this is an agreeable request. What does one call a self-loathing cynic, aside from “weak”?
I’m just giving you giving you guys a hard time and …ranting, I guess. I mean, I am a self-loathing cynic, but I could care less what my rank says. Although, I would be curious what label you might give me, given the choice.
But, to answer your question “SonOfABitchBastard” will do nicely. Thanks.
Names and ranks can be changed easily (it’s actually easier to change name than rank…), and for free on request. There are a few ranks that are automatically triggered by making a certain number of points, but those are overridden by a custom rank.
I had something nice and witty all lined up just for you [tailored to your specifications], but I can’t justify it now. You’re probably not far off as pertains to my reputation here. I almost guarantee you’d have a chuckle if you actually saw who you were giving that label to, though.
I was just thinking the other day how funny, and off color, my conceptions of people here must be. I’ve gotten genders mixed up, nationalities, ethnicities, etc. I always pictured a white beard and pipe for Faust, no clue why. You’re more along the lines of a turtle neck and Metamucil.
