I don't know what the rules are for usernames, but I think "Wizard of ________" should be exclusive to our host.

Perhaps we should all change our user names to "Wizard of (our own local town or country)". Then all of us on the Wizard of Vegas forum could look as petty as the WizardofEngland. Nah. Why would anyone want to look like that?

Well, for one thing, only the Wizard gets to be known simply as "Wizard"--with his name in green, to boot.

Also, "Wizard of Vegas" is a takeoff on "Wizard of Odds", which is in turn a takeoff on "Wizard of Oz", so if anyone has a proprietary claim on Wizardness, it would be L. Frank Baum. We also don't know if WizardofEngland called himself that long before he ever got to this site.

I think we should burn him at the stake. Why isn't that an option, huh?

We already do that to "thread hijackers". If we mete out the death penalty to all and sundry, we'll start to get bad internet cred.

There's only one person here who has an opinion on this subject that has any merit.

If it was a problem, THE Wiz would have already dealt with it.

Isn't he Harry Potter? The Wizard of Vegas should change his name, if so. Potter's a big deal. Theme park in Fla, movies, books, the works.
