[Vilturj] After the recent spate of 'elder' posts.

[moonvoice]

There's a difference between being humble as an elder,
and completely deflecting away the honour given to you by others by simply saying that
you don't want to be one, and then that you would never be one anyway.

People don't often throw words like 'elder' around lightly (fluffies aside), and
deflecting their words and the honour given to you like a pretty 16 year old saying
'oh but I'm not pretty!' (when you secretly know you are)
is a bit of a worry if you ask me.

Throwing away the honour of what being an elder entails by going 'oh it's a drag, you get
nothing in return for it, and I'm not one anyway' (two out of three aint bad), is like saying
'being a doctor sucks, it's long hours, and people die, so saving people's lives totally
doesn't make up for it.'

Get your head read. And grow the fuck up.

This is curious... which blog group were these elder posts on?

dot_bunnyhunt - the elder posts (and posts on what makes a fluffy) are public.

But I have seen some of the definitions and attitudes there, as in many places on the intarwebs, about what an 'elder' actually is.

Totally OT....

You should go have a look at totem_animals *facepalm* Srsly. The fluffy-trolly thing with the Pirates of the Caribbean totem is back and at it *offers a Spear of Stupidity Slaughter*

I just saw this on the nonfluffypagans community and was about to reply with simply "Why don't you whinge, then?" When I just stopped and thought, what's the point?
People who view it in such a way aren't worthy of the title.
