Even after having read every post you've made towards me and the OP I have absolutely no specific idea why you dislike and abhor the utilization of avatars and title bars other than the ridiculous "we don't need them"-reason that you so avidly (from what I can remember) argued against in all of the social features, friends list, etc. threads.
It seems so ridiculously hypocritical that I must insist that you tell me your real argument, reason, or otherwise. The one that isn't completely ridiculous.Could this not be his point entirely? You wrote off his reasons because they conflict with what you believe he said previously. We all take a bias on these forums, and we judge others, but we also all change our minds sometimes. Should we be given a fresh slate all the time? No. Should we be given the benfit of the doubt? Yes.
I like the idea of focusing more on what people have to say than on who they are, however I feel that this is something one has to do themselves, and not something that a system could apply (whilst still keeping the social feel that I, and I hope others, have come to enjoy on Bungie.net).
With that said, arguments without reasons are like sandcastles at the beach--they can look good or look terrible, but at the end of the day, the tide washes them all away the same.
Carry on.Take away that bias and what you're left with is just a ridiculous argument without the hypocrisy to make it even worse.
The "we don't need it" argument is good for very few things, just as is the "this isn't Facebook" one, and is rarely used properly. In this situation, it's used to attempt to dismiss features someone disagrees with without actually proposing any direct and apparent negatives that the features present to the community at large and without presenting any real reason for their discontinuation that backs up the whole "we don't need it" argument*.
*this being the only real way to go about passing off the "we don't need it" argument.
