I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Yes, you did. Your exact words: It is your fault if you didn't join as early as others. Now, this has to go with my assumption from earlier that not everyone can be mythic. Without that, you'd be right. One would be mythic now if it were guaranteed after a few years of staying on the mods' good side and remaining active. But I'm giving Bungie's web team some faith in assuming that not everybody gets a trophy.If you require an implication, if there had to be one, I would have implied that it should be common sense amoungst the community that, typically, two members of equal activity and one joining two years before the other, the one joining earlier is likely to have higher title. Simply because he or she joined earlier. Hard to understand?
So, in short: Either of us could be right, but I strongly doubt it's you. And even if that isn't the case? Yes, you are biased and you tipped that hand in the first paragraph. You stated that you put so much work into your account that it would have a significant toll on you should titles be axed. Again, a biased and false assumption. By saying "I have put quite a bit of 'work' into my account." I mean I have stuck with one account and posted frequently in public forums and privates groups for the 5 years I have been here. Did I ever say I put a lot of work into my "title"? Nope. Titles weren't even around back in 2006 so how could I have been putting a lot of work towards a title? I've lost my title before on several occasions and, over time, it simply goes back up. It isn't a life altering occurrence if I were to lose title. Like i said, it has happened several times.
You then proceed to say that some are extremely jealous of mythics and you were at one time. The implication here is that you believe that being mythic is some kind of an achievement, an honorable "knighting" of sorts in forum life. Is that directly saying that mythics are more important to the community? Well, no, but it does demonstrate how important being a mythic member appears to you, as well as the others that supposedly think just like you. Sure, I enjoy a blue title. I don't have the title to claim some type of dominance. I know I am nothing more than a member like every one else. Being a Mythic Member is simply showing I've been active and abided by the rules for a good length of time, that is why the titles were created, correct? Sure I was jealous, but I don't expect everyone to be jealous like I was. I may enjoy being Mythic more than others, I'm sure some enjoy ten times more than I do.
What I've noticed is that every aspect of your arguments are based of your "implications". Hmm, anyways. Let's continue.
And lastly, you don't flaunt your title? Not in an obvious fashion, but the idea of people not seeing your blue bar scares the crap out of you (see first paragraph in your post). That's like a woman saying she's not trying to show off her tits, then proceeding to wear low cut shirts and have strong reservations against covering up.My posting style would not alter in anyway based upon a title, if you are implying I post the way I do because of my blue bar. I could care less about how people's views of me as a Mythic, Heroic, or whatever he'll rank I am. It just doesn't matter. This argument doesn't even deserve my thoughts unless you an specifically show me how I'm terrified of people not seeing my title. Haha.
And in the future, please don't PM me to rush a reply. If the subject matter is important to me, I'll be back. If it isn't, I probably have nothing more to say anyway.Haha, an immature attempt to belittle and embarrass me? Sheesh.
Apologies for being a bit hasty on continuing our conversation. You like to make a lot of implications based on your own biased opinion. Maybe I should purposely get banned, lose my title, and then try having this conversation again. Because if I wasn't Mythic, then I would post differently and everything I said would be unbiased, correct?
We get it, you don't Iike ranks. You are one of many. I am one of many who appreciates the little bit of flair Bungie threw to us. Should it be removed? I wouldn't mind, if it ended all the false accusations and everyone with a blue or light grey bar from being considered "brown noses", "jerks", and "know-it-alls".
