Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.
So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....
"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..
it seems that no matter what the folks at bungie do, people will complain. recently that added titles under user names, and some of those titles are harder to get than others, so now the whining and moaning begins.
i do not know why anyone would be bothered at all by the fact that some users have different titles.

He *facepalm*-ed because there has been a lot of threads recently about how things need to be taken away due to elitism. It's frustrating to implement a new system that you think users will love, only for several topics to be made about how it could promote elitism, especially when there are no cases cited. At least, that's why I did that.
you are making claims about what people in the bnet forums tend to think and do, and i am pointing out that you have little or no evidence to support those claims. your most recent post does this again. you claim that "people tend to feel obligated when members with special titles make a thread," but you have no idea what thoughts or motivations most posters have when they see that a thread happens to have been started by a person with a title other than 'member'. you may feel obligated to post, but i cannot imagine why you or anyone else would feel that way, and that you feel obligated to post surely does not entail that any other bnet members do, let alone the majority of them.

really? do you do this? even if you do, what reason do you have to think that anyone else does, let alone that this is the norm?
i highly doubt that the majority of posters hunt for people with various titles and then make posts. this would involve many extra steps. i suspect that people see either a topic title that interests them, an op or last poster that sparks their interest, or forum activity and then decide to open the thread. they can do all of those things from the forum page.
i would be shocked if anyone had evidence to support your claim about what motivates people to post.
plus, since it is clear to many of us what these titles usually indicate (length of membership and few penalties), i cannot imagine why anyone would care more about posts by posters with 'heroic' or 'legendary' under their name.
I never stated that people "hunt" for members with special titles, I just was saying people tend to feel obligated when members with special titles make a thread. Take a look around the forums sometime, you'll see what I mean. And please, if you are going to critque my post, please use read the whole thing, because it doesn't look like you did from what you typed.
