Formality and Titles --- It's funny, I just made a comment about this on a colleague's HT entry. I do understand how the idea is to use the appropriate level of formality depending on the situation, but can shouldn't we also acknowledge that this formality may have developed out of colonialism and monarchies as well as other volatile dynasties that were suppressive and did not serve the populace? Perhaps we as HD and even diplomats can imagine a "new" way of "doing" diplomacy?
