I suppose my special status line: may have confused some of you, but you're too polite to ask and too proud to use a dictionary

As a public service (and because I'm bored and everyone else in the house is either asleep or trying to get that way) I post the following definition, gleaned from http://dictionary.com/ .

curmudgeon n : a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas

Let the commentary begin.

I always thought of you as being more avuncular.

*already knew what a curmudgeon was*

Now, the real question is how many people understand my status line. Of course, I was also considering "Romulan Censor". If you understand that one, you're a Forum Elder. If you understand "Wielder of the Board", you can be one of the Forums' respected sages... :-)

TSN, that ain't that hard... You're the owner of the Board with a Nail in It, to squish the post eater, right?

Does "Weilding The Board" make you go blind.

Baloo: It couldn't be more fitting than that

Saleel: Take your time, you only need about 240 posts until you can chance you status line

It only now occurred to me, but:

"The Avuncular one" sounds too patronizing. I Don't want to portray myself as everyone's opponent, but neither do I agree just to be nice.

I think my status line warns everyone that if I disagree with your point-of-view, this doesn't mean I think you're a dolt. Not necessarily, anyhow .
