You can figure out you name most of the time using the simple Student of Nature formula:

(nature-themed adjectival prefix) + (ordinary verb) + "er"

Oh, and sometimes throw in a "lesser" or a "greater."

Treehugger, greenwalker, plantspeaker, barkeater, etc.

I'll admit, I had a bit of fun with variations on 'treehugger' with the Student of Nature.

It means they started to run out of ideas :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Speaking of icons, you changed yours MoD!  I'm trying to decide what it is, but I think it looks like something a wyvern would leave on my windshield.  But I guess in this case it would be a camel.  A Dire Camel.

Isn't MoD's new icon the dragon/evil fairy from Disney's Sleeping Beauty?
