I doubt that term is racist.  I think the phrase just means that someone is criticizing something that they in fact are guilty of - analagous (more or less) to "physician, heal thyself".  Stealth called KT a spammer, and 01010 suggested that Stealth himself was a spammer.

And I also have a hunch that Stealth's reply was less than serious.

it had to be a kettle.

It wouldn't work in my mind the other way..

It his way of posting in a thread that he would in no other way have any reason to say anything. The whole thing is kinda ironic..

At least we all learned a lesson out of this.

K T  thanks for correcting me, on the title thing... One of my speak before I think moments i guess...

At first I read that as my name

Titles should be earned, not asked for. There's no point otherwise.

Oh, and I love mine. It even has italics.

[Stealth]

i was kidding when i said that, no one take offense

Whoops!  Oh my - a misspelling slipped through!

That should be "analogous".

I'd guessed, I wouldn't worry yourself about it

Guys, something you have to get clear (for some of you will be a reminder, but for others this may be new).

You do not ask for titles. At all. Titles at HLP have always been a gift from the admins to the forum members. We give them based on the person you are and what distinguishes you from others.

CP is the perfect example (he'll love this). He did not ask for his title. He did not even expect his title. But his title fits his personality... he loves his maths.

For the record, we did for a short time try letting people decide their own titles. But everyone (forum members, I mean) quickly realised that the titles became meaningless once they no longer had to earn them. So please, be satisfied with this system, and don't make it a chore.

[Turnsky]

i'm happy with mine..

I don't mean to alarm anyone. But this is the way it's done. In the past, titles have become a very contested topic and ultimately became meaningless - which is just the opposite of what they were meant to be. The less we have to talk about it, the better.

Just embarassed because I asked for a new one...

[Setekh]

Well, like I said, the less said about it the better. Don't worry about it now - it's in the past - but maybe this will teach you to remember to gently stop the new ones whenever they pipe up about the same topic.

Gently as in softly-careingly gently, or shotgun-therapy gently?

I prefer the latter.

[Nuclear1]

hmm....

*guesses my first title's gonna be something like "spammerage 101"*

Wrong thread to ask for a title huh?
