because the original poster was selling people Devine based on how cool a moniker they had. It's a stupid gripe, but imagine that you're an enlisted soldier who is working their way into getting into the squadron lead by 'Tommy the Terrible' -- a simple example but i'm a simple guy, and it relates to battle analogy earlier. Once you arrive you realize that Tommy the Terrible was just given his first command, he was promoted to the position due to being the member of a powerful family, and he commanded his unders to only refer to him as 'Tommy the Terrible', rather than gaining the title through the respect of his triumphs and leadership ability. In other words, a name given by oneself has less impact in most societies than one achieved through achievement or familial ties. Anyway, that whole differentiation is ridiculous within this context, I just thought it was necessary to explain. Devine has earned the cool moniker, self-administered or not.
