This isn't really a fair account of what happened in this thread. You asserted that IB was somehow going to be favoured by not getting its name changed, after which it was clarified that the policy wasn't aimed at guild names. This is what you said in response to Aasimon concerning this:



As far as I can tell (since I can actually read, and you can't), this isn't at all consistent with Nalkin's interpretation of the meaning behind your posts in this thread - which is curiously what you stuck to in the end. Nowhere in your post does it say, "it's inconsistent that the policy applies to character names and not to guild names". Maybe Nalkin has a point, but you never did. You just kept repeating things that were already adequately responded to. I actually can't believe that I had the courtesy to respond to everything in your enormous TLDR posts and you didn't respond to one word in mine.

Also, on an unrelated note, Estu is very smart.

My opinion in the end is that this "policy change" will change very little and people are overreacting, since the guides will probably just adhere to something resembling the old standard and only change really egregious names that they see or are petitioned to them. If the old standard was technically the same as this one as Uthgaard and others have said, then I think some fault lies with whoever wrote the old policy, because it does seem overly strict (names that are anachronistic, or references to real-world media, are probably harmless, but like Nalkin I care really little either way and can't fathom why people like Alawen have shat a brick over this. Also, it's pretty much classic, so I can't complain).
I didn't respond to you because you're simply not interesting. It was clear what bandwagon you were part of with the silly pop culture references of both your guild tag and your forum name. The dialog you wanted to have was extremely obvious. Going through the exercise of that dialog would have been tedious at best.

Do you feel more respected now that I quoted your post and typed some words to you?
