I just want to note here that the pejorative, "Chicken Little" has been added to my profile by the forum admins - apparently as some feble, juvenile attempt at ridicule.
Keep it classy, admins.

It was me. No ridicule was intended, only friendly teasing.

You are an admin - an admin who is using his authority to unfairly single out a member of the forum for ridicule, "teasing", whatever. Is this the famous "doing the right thing" that you brag about as such an important part of your upbringing?

So, I take it you don't like your new title and you would like to change my title to something you find more appropriate. Send me a PM with what you'd like to change my title to and I'll change it to that until someone decides to change it again. I am not the one who assigned my current title and I will not be the one who changes it after this. Will that make you feel better?

Until I have the same rights to manipulate your profile as you have to manipulate mine (or you restore my profile to the default), assigning this pejorative to my profile is an egregious, shining example of your abject unfairness, childishness and unfitness as a moderator.

I'm not making you a moderator or an administrator on this board. Everyone is subject to a custom title. You just got yours. I told you what I would do. Are you rejecting this?

You really are earning that title.

Disappointing that invasion of privacy and ridicule by authority without recourse by the victim is so lightly dismissed. Maybe the addition of "War Ostrich" to a profile....

This is definitely a major downside to this forum. I have no power myself, but it looks like we should try to keep as many members as possible considering the paltry post counts these days.
I disagree with Pompey's methods, and in many cases his ideology, but name calling by moderators is bullshit.

I feel left out. All I have is the standard title. You should feel honored that he thinks of you. It shows he cares.

The moderator (JiT) has clearly demonstrated his affinity for name-calling and the inability to restrain his tendency to abuse his moderator privilege. It demonstrates poor character, weak intellect and an utter lack of class and civility.

I second that motion, and why is this in the debate lounge? Are we debating whether TTF is a chicken little or not? I second that motion also. snickersnickersnicker

Me too, if by "respectable", you mean "willing to abuse my powers as a moderator to single out and ridicule members of the forum who dare to challenge me". Yup, JiT is the guy. As "respectable" as they come.
