No, see, it does make a difference. Intra-LinkShell if a guild leader wants to make an executive decision that "We, as a Link Shell are going to this server." that's their prerogative. But when you bring in the vested interests of multiple guilds and factions then something like that becomes "not ok" due to the sheer number of people and agendas that are in play. If you're not going to do it democratically then there's no point in even having a "coalition" of Link Shells.
Also, letters arranged arbitrarily by a writer have no moral alignment or consciousness to make moral choices so they can't be "bad."
I will agree with the sentiment that the name itself doesn't make a difference at all BUT simply because there is more than 1 server (and those servers are named after imaginary people some players have wrote slash-fic about) people will bitch and moan about what one is picked, so giving them the ability to make their wishes known effectively removes any weight they could bring to bear on the argument, because they had the ability to vote for their choice.
Way to take the 'high ground' Axl. Just keep that nose pointed straight up, it's easier to maintain a smug sense of superiority that way.
