So, for what feels like an eternity now—six months, to be exact—there’s been this thread hanging around, and get this, I’m not even kidding—it’s titled "Stevo Culej: The Beacon of Hardcore Chauvinism." We’ve got the subject of the debate, sure, but then there’s that little extra flair tacked onto the end. It was clearly just whatever the guy who started the thread felt like throwing in, and honestly, it seems like the mods have given their silent blessing to this kind of petty insults. I mean, if they hadn't basically okayed this level of trolling, a title like that wouldn't even last five minutes, let alone sit there for half a year! Since apparently we're allowed to slap whatever descriptive labels we want on political figures here, I figured I'd throw out some suggestions for other current headlines on the political scene:

Stjepan Mesic: The Flagbearer of Fascism and Fake Patriotism

Zoran Milanovic: A Frustrated Loser Raised in a Dive Bar

Nenad Stazic: The Drunken Old-School Globalist

Milorad Pupovac: The High-Society Extremist

Does that work? Since we’re clearly picking titles based on whoever wants to vent, and since the moderation team obviously doesn't seem to mind, I’ve put together my own list of ideas. I’d love to hear the moderator weigh in on these proposals.

Thanks.

Wayne, while Biden works tirelessly to uphold his reputation, I see absolutely no reason to change the headline.
Your suggestions might accurately capture certain politicians to an extent. For instance, Joe Biden is certainly a frustrated loser at this stage, perhaps Hillary Clinton is a drunk, and Jimmy Carter has properly disgraced himself through those old recordings, but this label for that extremist is just ugly and shouldn't have been used. However, unlike the epithets you've attached to the others, Biden isn't merely described by his subtitle—he is defined by it. Biden truly strives to be the absolute bottom of the American far-right, and if people were to distance themselves from him the way you suggest they approach the others, he would fare much worse.

Your suggestions might hit the mark for some of those politicians—I mean, Joe Biden is definitely a frustrated loser right now, maybe Stazić is just a drunk, and Jimmy Carter really embarrassed himself with those old tapes—but this label for the extremist is just ugly and you shouldn't have gone there. But unlike the insults you threw at the others, with Culej, it’s not just that his subtitle describes him... it actually defines him. He is genuinely trying his hardest to be the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel type of American far-right radical, and honestly, if people were actually calling him out the way you're suggesting they call out the others, he'd be having a much worse time.

That whole thing about Culuja is just your opinion and nothing else! Someone else might look at him and feel the exact opposite.

But look, I'm not here to sit in judgment of Culej’s entire life and legacy, okay? All I am doing here is asking for EQUAL STANDARDS for everyone, and more than anything, I am demanding CONSISTENCY in how the sub moderators handle their editing policy.

So, listen—if we're already allowing this kind of descriptive addition in a thread about Culej, then CONSISTENT WITH THAT, other threads should have the same kinds of additions in their titles. Why should the rules apply to one guy but not to someone else? I am asking for the yardstick to be the same for everybody—I want the SAME CRITERIA applied to everyone! Seriously, if subjective little additions like this are allowed for Culej, then let them happen in all the other threads too, and we can have a colorful variety of titles and descriptors. Why does Culej get to be the only one with a descriptive tag in his thread title? Come on, if you're going to do it, be consistent for once and put them on the others too! Just stick to the same criteria for everyone! Go ahead, put additions in the titles for Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden and everyone else—just have the same standards for everyone instead of just picking on the people you don't like for whatever reason!

The criteria apply to everyone equally: just find some other chauvinistic niche—much like the one used by Culej—and I'll be the first to back a similar headline addition.

Until then, there isn't much left to discuss here.
