Brother vs Sister

Post by Lizzie »

After a conversation with Mike this weekend - I came to the conclusion that being called a 'brother' when reaching 100 posts is somewhat unfair on us girlies.

Therefore Mike said that if I get a majority vote in favour of allowing the girls to be called sister instead- he'll change it.

So help me out guys - vote yes for change !!

I'm with you on this one, Lizzie, although it will ruin Mike naming them all after the AD&D monk level titles. Nuns would be Sisters, wouldn't they, so it does seem fair to rename them. I'm sure Mike can handle the extra workload.

I vote yes on the sister issue, I'm assuming you meant the girls as well as the guys to back you up on this one, and it looks like it worked, its a landslide, 100% swing to the darn right too voters!

Landslide. Hum an interesting term. It is looking like I am going to have to go to the effort of making the women sisters. . . I will have to wait until the end of the poll though, that was the agreement! :D

Okay. This poll has now ended and I am going to change the title Brother to Sibling. The reason for this is that the forum does not seperate out members by gender so it is difficult for me to keep track of who needs to be called Brother and who needs the title Sister.

I hope that this is suitable compromise!
