When was the last time you saw ReaperCharlie?
UN, that's what happens to people who are at loggerheads with Oman.
On another note, I support Target Practice for killerjester.

If you feel the need to change his title (I don't, but I digress) I would go with Gabriel.

EGOTistical is better than EgoT, in my opinion.
Again, that is if you felt the need to change an existing title that has already been well established as fitting the user in question.

As I
outlined when I took over the new process is extremely simple and streamlined, I'm just here to do the final paperwork. After people finalize one or two variation for a title it only takes me about ten minutes of work to make a call, pm the recipient and setup the custom title. I have no qualms about increasing the rate at which we give out titles. I think of the whole title fairy business as a fun, community driven side event for the site rather then some super serious and prolonged process.
I like this philosophy.

I think the userbase trusts you to be impartial, TBM. If you are nominated for a title that fits you and that you and the community support, there is no reason not to give it to yourself.

I think Buttons needs to exercise his authority. Abuse of Rule #5 is causing the spirit of Rule #3 to be violated. People, like mastin (& there have been others), are constantly refusing perfectly fine titles because they want to nudge towards a preferred title.
The Titling on his site has been a fine tradition of "hey, we as a site recognize you as having made a great, funny, and/or super interesting contribution to this site. Here's a title!" to which the recipient responds with "Hey! I don't find that title insulting! So be it!" Then the Title Fairy acts and all are happy.
Now lately it's a series of manipulative jockeying of "no.. that's not quite right. Try again, peons! I DEMAND BETTER!" and the fun is dead.
This happened on your watch, Buttons. Either fix it or let it be your shameful legacy.
Not to defend mastin2's own ego, but if people aren't happy with title nominations, they shouldn't have to accept them, no matter how popular. Rule #3 is there to stop anyone just walking in and asking for a title like in the old days, not to prevent universally known and popular users actively participating in the process of their own titling. At least, that's how I see it. TheButtonmen can and should correct me if I'm wrong here.
(Not that it really matters much now, anyway.)
