[MR] that title thing

[Rorik smior]

Now this I can sympathize with. Never wanting to show lack or respect as a newcomer I (for lack of understanding titles) called all males 'Sir' until a Knight got a bit upset at me calling a non-knight by that title...  I still like to show a friendly greeting to everyone but I don't feel it disrespectful to not say their current title either. A friend is a friend unless they show themselves otherwise!

> I always end up demoting people whenever I use titles so I skip them entirely.  Mind you I generally don't teach newcomers that but I tend to avoid newcomers for that reason. 

We were joking once that if using the wrong title truly demoted people then I've beheaded more Crowns than I can count and most not intentionally!!

What's really depressing is when you demote somebody by mistake in black and white on scroll because you've called them Lord somebody for 10 years before they became Crown and you can't change habits at 3 am!  *sigh*  <grin>
