[Ansteorra] OT was Public Thank You

[Leslie Snipes]

HL John Lightfoot,

My 2 cents:
Her Grace, signs her emails: "willow de wisp"
You sign yours: "HL John Lightfoot"

Proud of that AOA or just arrogant, showing off your
elevated status, and/or flaunting your ability to
click on a link?  Yep, we're all human and, frankly, I
don't see much difference between Joshua's post and
yours except that he's more blunt while you crouch
your threat in signing your title and your criticisms
within advice (instead of just giving the advice). 
Oh, and a part of being human (and certainly being a
member of any society) is attempting to overcome
"instinct" in favor of more graceful behavior (which
includes forgiving the past while someone new
adjusts).
