That diotalevi is a Saint and therefore can do anything he wishes?

No, that diotalevi is a member of level Monk or higher who hasn't been frozen, deleted, or some other nasty thing. I didn't even know (or care) that diotalevi is a saint. Frankly, I thought he was like level 8 or 9. And, as for hasty considerations ... I have entered into "discussions" with at least two "Saints" as to considerations and/or front-pagings, both as the "discusser" and the "discussee".

what makes tilly, tye and Abigail-II so special over anyone else here?

The fact that I could remember their names as monks I have had conversations with over the past two years. They're also monks I personally have learned from on a number of occasions, some of them embarassingly so. There are hundreds of monks who contribute in a similar fashion, new and old, young and old, etc. The reason I didn't list them is I didn't remember them off the top of my head. *shrugs*

As for your last paragraph ... it's going to be something we're going to agree to disagree on. My personal style is that I always name names as much as possible. I don't believe in (much) tact as a personal article of faith. I believe very much in trying to be as explicit as possible. If your feelings or sensibilities are hurt because of this, I truly am sorry for your hurt. But, I don't apologize for my actions.
