It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

It was a rant, it was meant to blow off steam abotu a matter that's been irritating me for the last 2 years. I'm surprised i kept it that civil myself.
I don't care how impressed with yourself you are. Please show me some respect.

The reason i called it snobby is simple. Do you see the masses of b.net crying out to be given a voice closer to the overlord?
That's strange. I could have sworn that a hundred or so people posted in the Council thread. The Council Chambers has 93 members. Seems like a fair enough sized group to me.

No, you don't, yet you feel an intense and burning need to be that voice, so you go about collecting your squad of voicers and give yourself a pretentious title like "The council" and supposedly discuss matters of how to improve the community,...
I've gone over this. Goweb seemed to think it was a good enough idea. And he gave it the "pretentious title" that you're so angry at. Not only that, but he moderates these forums and deals with a lot of the stuff that goes on around here. He seems like a good enough resource to go to about what causes certain things in the community.

...when your idea of the community stops at the first word "Halo" on the right. You even said it yourself:

The Council, as our group and the majority of people affiliated with the idea understand it, is a body of members, representing the community of Bungie.net, who help to bring the community, namely the 7th Column...
Yes. It's called the 7th Column Council. That was the biggest givaway that it was mostly Column oriented for me. What are we trying to do? Bring the 7th Column back to life. One of the biggest jobs of it is the Chapter Spotlight. We scour the Column for interesting groups, groups that have something unique to them, and showcase them for a bit. We aren't trying to hide anything- this is all about the Column. I'm not sure why you made a big deal about this.

Bungie.Net does not need representing. Achronos and his helpers do not need a little squad filtering out what they deem to be unreasonable.
Perhaps I should have gone deeper into that bit, rather then trusting you to think, or perhaps research it. It may not need representing. That was a bad choice of words on my part. I can understand your anger at that. But I'm not sure where you're getting the whole "Squad of little helpers" from. It sounds to me like you ran out of things to twist, so you decided to make a few up. We don't throw anything out. We only do the things I stated in my original post, which you apparently didn't read.

He is just as capable of reading this forum as you are; probably more so in fact. The only reason you wish to make this council again is because you wish to give your felt superiority over newer members from other parts of the forums where you never go, an ounce of official endorsement.
Again, you haven't the slightest clue as to what you're talking about. Did you not read the "This is 100% unofficial" bit above? And no, I don't. In fact, I'm not on the Council. Three mods used to be on it, but since they were appointed mods they were removed. Obviously we seem to have some good taste, seeing as Toast, Just Another Fan and BobBQ were all on our list of who we would like to have as Councilers. So if you care to tell them all that they're simply power hungry, pretentious snobs, feel free. You should probably tell Achronos that too, since he'll want to know that he picked the wrong people. And you might want to tell the mods who suggested them that.
