Like recognises like? Anyway I will fess up to being one of those people that PMed Mike. And basically what I said is "I would support a title for Duchess before Shep". This comes from the fact that her and I have been butting heads all week. I do not have any suggestions beyond this.

Last time I checked, Rommel wasn't part of the KKK...

He had a KKK avatar earlier today.

If you would notice, he was testing that for Wong, to be used for white supremacists.

Bah, if somebody got a title for every time they had a radically different viewpoint from the norm, the entire board would be marked. 'Cept me, of course.

To that end, giving a title is hardly worth it.

I didn't realize this.

Apologies, Shep.

I don't see any polling options, my best suggestion would be:

Nicole Machiavelli

I agree, yet it does make one chuckle

Well, if both you and Colin think it should be my custom title - or at least find it amusingk! - and I think it's so bad it's cute, mayhaps we should go for that one? I mean, if people want me to have one, I ought oblige...

Allthough I find Marina's political opinions to be less than nice from my perspective, its not like she is here to disrupt the board.
The tone I get from this suggestion is that there is a desire to title her for her opinions in a malicious manner, as if she had done something wrong, or had disrupted the normall proceedings of the group.
This line of thinking is something I disapprove of strongly.

Her opinion may differ from most, she does have the right to express it, and should not be tared because of it.

Well sure , but not under the circumstances this thread was developed I think.

I see no reason to give her a derogatory title. She may have somewhat questionable views, but the fact that she can articulate them and defend them is much more than can be said of a troll.

"Mistress of Legalise" perhaps.

Yeah. I never saw anything extremist in her remarks. What's the fuss?

I believe it's because she's on a "might makes right" kick right now.

Doesnt that usually happen in most of the threads involving arguments over the US?

How about "Secretary of Propaganda, G.W. Bush adminstration"?

I hardly think the Duchess deserves a custom title; if so, the bar has dropped considerably.

Isn't Duchess already a title?

Anyhow, she is one of the more prominent personalities on the board. If you count in her ASVS posts she'll probably fit the post requirement too. If you can find a title that fits well I'm all for giving it to her.

Does she care?
Does it matter?

Dalton is correct. Do you have to brand people with a derogatory term just because you don't happen to agree with some of their opinions? Do you all have to jump in and say fuck you just because someone expressed a chain of thought so unique that it goes against the mainstream bleeding-heart liberal commune happy-go-lucky fear of offending someone? Duchess has a right to her opinion. Even if - and I am NOT saying it is - it turns out to be utterly stupid and so idiotic that your ass gets chapped by the data stream from your optic nerves.

You don't agree with her? Fine! Send her a PM and tell her that Pinochet was an asshole, and that as far as you know he fucked chickens in his spare time. Is she a bitch for saying things like those? Furthermore... what fucking difference does it make? The fact that her post count is in the 11 hundreds should point that, while being human, and therefore flawed, she has had enough intelligence to impart some kind of entertainment or help values to this forum.

Call her a bitch when she comes over and rips your balls off and pushes your ocular globes in with them. Sticks and stones. If she is as right-wing as you claim her to be, that's OK. THAT IS HER PROBLEM. I don't agree with right-wingers, I don't like bleeding-heart liberals either. I am very uncomfortable with people who want to infringe on my right to not be fucking dead. And, to the usual fuck-you jumpers (you know who you are) I recommend doubling your dose of Ritalin before your egos get so big that they start attracting doomsday asteroids (and/or Darkstar references... whichever comes first). And read up on your semantics.

But, alas, like the Duchess herself said:

Of course, this is just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Eh, I thought custom titles were for idiots and trolls. She is neither so what's the point?

But not under these circumstances.
