OK, can someone tell me where Deus Vult arises from? I know there's hot Accountant fracas going on constantly but I can't seem to find it.

And I haven't forgot about Honey Trap, I just want to deal with it alongside this one. :)

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas regarding my suggestion? I feel like it kinda got lost in all the other stuff going on. (Or maybe I'm just not cool enough to get any attention in this thread. :( )
In post 2156, Something_Smart wrote:Nominate Aristophanes for

(or Hate the Scum, Love the Scummer)

I'm going to be honest in that I don't think this is the best possible title for Aristophanes but it's the best idea I've had so far and I definitely think Aristophanes deserves a title.

I saw the whole "Aggressively Loving" debate, and while I agree that he has a unique personality that deserves to be recognized, I also don't think that title covers it all, because in my experience it's more than just loving.
Obviously, the title is a play on the expression, "Love the sinner, hate the sin." It reflects the idea that while people might do bad things, they aren't bad people, which is in and of itself reflective of Aristophanes's optimism. But more particularly, it's a reference to how he's like in games. It seems to me that he's there to play the game but also to be friendly with other members of the community, two goals which sometimes conflict-- when you want to cooperate and be friendly with someone but at the same time you're accusing them, hence the dichotomy of the title.

Aristophanes's unique personality is hard to put into words as it's more of a feeling, and that's probably why there haven't been many good suggestions for him. If anybody can think of a better and/or more elegant title that plays on the same themes, I'd gladly support that as well.

I don't think thats a good title.
Mostly because it reminds me of how Aristophanes will lurk as scum because he doesn't like playing it.

It's largely from his assertions that he has absolute knowledge of the greatest morality and correctness, and his announcements that his Utopian Society will make people agree with the one correct way in practice, even if they are allowed to internally disagree. He has also specifically said that anyone who rebelled against this idea would be taken down with military force. This led to his comparison with the Christian Crusades, and the phrase "Deus Vult" or "God Wills It", the battlecry of the crusaders believing that they had the divine command to do as they were doing.

Aggressively Loving was a better title for Ari.

I believe reason that was declined was because it wasn't really unique to him?
Though I don't know why a title has to be unique to a person for them to fit.

I mean as much as these Accountant titles may represent him and his personality and views, they really come across as sarcastic jabs rather than anything appreciative. I mean, literally comparing him to the crusades in his title? Titles should be commemorative. This comes across as little less than bullying.

Can I anti-nom by default any Accountant titles referring to his moral views? If so, that please.

Theres actually quite a bit of bullying that goes around on MS, so its really not shocking.

See, I specifically tried to find a non-insulting title that fit Accountant, and also specifically avoided Crusade related titles because I figured they were insulting. That's why I didn't nth this one. The reason I haven't anti-nommed it, is because I don't see Accountant saying that it's insulting

IMO it should be rejected on principle, regardless of what Accountant thinks of it.

Accountant obviously likes it. I oppose it because it rewards something about him that is detestable.
