Is my user name arrogant?

Postby **Godly Paladin** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:24 pm

I didn't mean it to be, but a while ago it started bugging me that it could be interpreted as such. I meant for it to simply be a Christian modifier for a type of person, whereas now I see it might mean "See? I'm calling myself super-righteous!"

What do you guys think?

Postby **Myoti** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:25 pm

I don't think so. If you're living a Godly life, then there's really no problem.

Postby **Godly Paladin** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:26 pm

That's relieving to hear. I just don't want people to get the wrong idea.

No, not really.

I never got that from your username.

Postby **Debitt** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:30 pm

never thought that about your username at all. ^_^

(I'm usually too busy staring at your lovely avatar)

Postby **Godly Paladin** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:32 pm

I guess I'm never going to get rid of that avatar, then. I can't remember who got if for me, unfortunately. It was a gal, and her user name was short and started with an 'L'. :lol:

She sounds like a hottie.

I like your user name -- very medieval and confident.

That was it! :sweat:

Lehn!

It was you! Second I saw your name, I remembered. :grin:

uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh, whats a paladin?

Don't worry about it, I wouldn't assume that about you just from your username. If you act Godly here, then nobody will have any reason to have a problem with your username.

A Paladin is a Holy Knight.

And no, GP, your username never struck me as arrogant.

I think your name is fine!! ^^

Godly Paladin isn't too bad.
If your name was The Godly Paladin of Ultimate power and Eternal Swordmaster of Ethereal Light, then that might be pretty arrogant.

A Paladin IS super-Godly. Totally spot-on. As a fussy D&D fan, I'd say your username was an example to us all, so there.

Postby **Godly Paladin** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 12:33 pm

Well, now I'm just giddy. Away go the doubts, thanks to y'all. :jump:

And on the subject of Lehn, I have to say that was hilarious. I haven't seen her around for ages, and then she posts seconds after I talk about her. I think Lehn is psychic. :lol:

Paladin was also the name of the hero on the old Western series:
Have Gun,Will Travel.On his calling card he had the symbol of a chess
knight.Starred Richard Boone as Paladin.
Good show.You should watch it if you have the chance.

As far as your username...no,it's not overly arrogant.

Fear my powers of DooOoOoOOooOoOoOoooOOOooM!!!!!!!!!1 My evil minions spread themselves far and wide across the CAA --- there is no escaping me! :grin:

alright, in all actuality, that was weird. I'm not online much anymore, especially not here *cough*cough* unless someone PMs me, but when I am -- chaos ensues

Don't worry about it Paladin. Wouldn't even have noticed if you hadn't said anything. Leave it mate.

Postby **teen4truth** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 6:45 pm

oh thanx for explaining that guys.

obviosly I never thought your user name was arrogant before because I didnt even know what it meant lol. But now that I do...I still dont really think its arrogant...if you chose that username because you thought you where a truly Godly person and not a sinner(all humans are)and all that it might be but when people get to know you they can see that you really have it because you want everyone to know that you are trying your hardest to be Godly and that you are willing to fight for Him and to become more even more Godly then you are know...

Historically, the word 'paladin' came from the court of Charlemagne, where it signified an imperial official (it's from the Latin palatinus, "attached to the palace"). Charlemagne's Peers are exemplified as holy warriors in stories like The Song of Roland, and so paladins are considered 'holy'. The association has been helped by its usage in various RPGs, including D&D.

This is exactly what everyone else has said, but: I never thought about it that way. Considering that the term "paladin" can be used (or, at the least, is used) for warriors of other religions, or generically as in Dungeons and Dragons, I always thought of "Godly" as merely indicating what your allegiance.

No. Your user name is Godly Paladin.

Was that a trick question?

Considering the discussion, it was both expected and appreciated.
