I guess I think it draws attention to differences that... Really don't matter to me. I prefer to take people on their merits rather than sorting people into the 'new people' vs 'people who have been here for a long time' boxes.

Aren't we all "different"? And what is wrong with being "different"? Not necessarily agreeing that because an "icon/badge" is put under a person's nic means they are different. If you want to think of a member being here over three years and a member being here for one year as being different, I guess you can.

Guess I don't think that way. I just think oo wow that person has been a member for a long time. And when I see the supporter's icon/badge I think, oo wow they have a lot to say and prob have helped someone who doesn't always have a lot to say. I just don't see it as being different or drawing attention to one member more than another. They aren't saying one person is better than another.. All it says to me is a person made a lot of posts and are maybe more outgoing ..

I just don't understand all the huff.....
