Paraphrases are not quotes, so you don't need to correct me. <3 Anyone can scroll up and read your exact words themselves.
I don't care enough to block you, but the defensiveness over what you yourself admitted was an unpopular opinion isn't a good look. Your motives are fishy and I suspect you're here to complain because someone high profile blocked you.
The thing is, there's a fairly large contextual difference between "lots of" and the intended implication of a small number. Hence trying to clarify, since that does paint a very different picture. I'm aware that I don't always phrase things clearly, but as I can't edit the OP on ARR to rephrase with added clarity as I could on other discussion forums, the best I can do is re-clarify and correct. It's not intended to be a slight against you, but rather, quite literally a correction. I admit I don't always phrase things perfectly though (the entire reason for corrections/clarifications like this), so I apologize if I caused any offense.
You're free to doubt my motives as you please, but (and again, this is only to my knowledge -- there could be someone out there I'm unaware of) there's only a singular "high profile" user who has me blocked, but they (again, to my knowledge) never had an accent thread, and I thiiink they finally got account-locked last year, so wouldn't be the source of drama now. :p
Honestly, I mostly just spend too much time on ARR because I have nothing more productive in my life to do at this moment in time, so what else is there to do than occasionally post prompts and hope that maybe through discussion, perceptions in the community can change for what I perceive to be the better? As mentioned in the OP, the prevailing community opinion originally wasn't on the side of "just name your own exalts," but over time and through rehashing the same discussion countless times, the community perception DID change. So I had hope that this could be another thing that would, in time, change. :p (And it did also prompt an interesting suggestion that I hadn't seen before, which hopefully someone's suggested on-site because it'd be a nice improvement for the site. Not that I'm optimistic the admins would ever implement it, lol)
