Plotinus absolutely deserves a title, sure, but I'm not sure that this is the one. It feels incredibly forced to me, and while I'd love to have Plotinus be titled, trying to force a title onto Plot won't generate a good title.In post 1626, Errantparabola wrote:nom plotinus forKitten Caboodle

Not trying to force a title doesn't mean the title doesn't look forced. What I more or less mean by this is,
This justification of, "it kinda sorta alludes to this one aspect of Plotinus", is the only part which makes me feel like the title nomination has anything to do with Plotinus at all, and it's a little bit tacked on. I know Plotinus frequently has an association with kittens and/or cuteness, but when I look at the title "Kitten Caboodle", I don't think of Plotinus at all and if it were given to Plotinus, I wouldn't really understand why Plotinus had that title.sort of alluding to the thoroughness of plotinus posting
Then can you give a more indepth explanation as to why? Because the above is more or less my problem with it. Even knowing that Plotinus has an occasional association with kittens/cute things, if Kitten Caboodle were put as Plotinus's title, I would have no clue why that was Plotinus's title, no way of associating the title with Plotinus on anything more than that superficial level.In post 1634, the worst wrote:i actually like kitten caboodle more as i think about it
To put it another way: it doesn't feel like it's a title special to Plotinus's presence on-site. It's not a title which feels like it is specific to Plotinus; it feels like a title you could plop under the username of any scummer who has an association with kittens and have it be equally fitting for them.
I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise, but you will need toconvinceme it's something special to Plotinus and appropriate to Plotinus's presence on-site.-

i actually think plotinus' posting pretty regularly radiates thoughtfulness and thoroughness. like his modding style is incredibly detailed and immaculate and his perspective in discussion forums (from what i've seen) seems to be regularly really well considered with a pretty detailed thought process - the whole "kit & caboodle" wordplay is something i think resonates pretty well
other than that plot pretty regularly carries the kitty avis and a love of cats is definitely something i associate p heavily with ploti
i guess it comes back to the calibre of title you're seeking, and i'm not going to wave my stick any harder than this post. i don't think that there's this spectacular multilayered resonating truth under this title, no. but i don't think there are spectacular multilayered resonating truths under many titles at all. it's appropriate to plot's onsite presence, notes his love of cats, and is cute/punny. that's about it. not a great title, but few titles are. it's a good title.
snuggly duckling is probs a reasonable comparison; it reflects my fluffy posting style / approachable/friendly nature i project onsite and references my love of ducks. this isn't me insinuating "you must pass it because my title was passed" or w/e, just like, a comparison for perspective-

That is in fact rather convincing.
Title doesn't have five nths yet tho so am going to wait for more people to chime in before I approve it.-

Nth. Totally for his thorough and meticulous modstyle and not because I'm a shameless lover of terrible humor.
You're gonna need to sell me on this.
