Yup, playing status with accounts would be kinda stupid. (That's why you should stop doing it.)
You know what would be especially stupid? If we lived in a world that accorded me higher status than you because of my general level of aggression, and I could end this entire argument with "I'm high status, you're low status, I'm right, you're wrong, shut up now".
Now, wouldn't that be a really stupid world...?
So tell me again why giving status and prestige to aggressive people is a great idea?
