I'll agree with MD here... because you give comfort to many here on the forums... with your pat pats.... it is a reputation you have now acquired and have been now dubbed. :)
More of a compliment I would think... it's better than being the known as the slap slap guy... or the drool drool guy (ok... I'm not too creative at the moment... but you could have a worse moniker.)
To clarify the subject of the Custom Title, this was something started last year, I think. Moderators would give custom titles to people based on their personalities. I don't want to call it an honor - as I think that's a bit like bragging, but it is definitely a compliment. It shows that you've been Noticed. If this truly offends you, I apologize, and will take it down. It was not meant in malice, but it started when someone gave you comfort and said, " *patpats* the pat pat guy".
But you have to admit, it is fitting! :D
And for everyone else out there, there's no regularity or predictability or even reason for the custom titles. Before I became a mod, my custom title was: Hence forth, you shall be known as... Darth Kitty.
JYN: question, what gave it away? Phillipinos look at me and wonder what my nationality is!
