I am the one that decided the name Colgate didn't need to be changed. ME It was put before me to make sure there was no bias. I was presented with the name "Colgate" knowing nothing else.

1) It is not offensive (My first and foremost reason for ever deciding to change a name)
2) While it is a popular toothpaste, it is also University. This exempts it from the trade marked issue , IN MY OPINION.
3) When changing a name, I take into consideration all issues and weigh them based on level of character. If a high level character, if at all possible I don't want to strip the reputation - EITHER GOOD OR BAD - by changing a name.

Blame me for not changing his name. I don't care. I made the decision and I am still confident in my decision.

Clearly in conflict with your second reason, as his thumbnail clearly references the toothpaste and a man with poor dental hygiene.

I don't have avatars shown. I made a decision based on the information I had. So you can disagree with it, but you can't attach it to favoritism or whatever other delusional idea you have.

Now that you've been informed, will there be any justice served and a name change as performed on other characters for naming violations?

Would seem only fair and nullify any accusations of favoritism.

But now she knows so why hasn't anything changed?

This is the first time I heard of this rule that once ruled upon it cannot be changed? How many times was someone found clean for RMT and then new evidence was supported that changed the ruling?

Eunomia, Colgate University is named after William Colgate, who founded the toothpaste company. It is still a trademarked name. If I named my character McDonald's it would be a violation but still be the founder's last name.

An excerpt from the Wiki page of Colgate University

In 1817, the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York was founded by thirteen men (six clergymen and seven laymen). Two years later, in 1819, the state granted the school's charter, and the school opened a year later, in 1820.[12] The first classes were held in a building in the town of Hamilton. Three years later, in 1823, the Baptist Theological Seminary at New York City incorporated with the Baptist Education Society and subsequently changed its name to the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution.[13] Among the trustees was William Colgate, founder of a soap company.

Eunomia will not facilitate.

This is also the first time I've heard someone's emotional state can over-rule the evidence provided. Does it also matter if someone is mad when they present evidence of RMT must they present the facts calmly or the RMTer is allowed to go free?

I'll let the server decide Favoritism or Delusion?
