As Wolf so eloquently pointed out, the title “Rabbi” is meaningless.
Just for the record, that’s *not* what I was saying.
I believe the title does have meaning. That’s why I object when someone uses it for me. That’s why I believe it should be reserved for those who have earned the title.
The fact that people, often out of good intentions of honoring and/or not hurting someone, use the term for everyone doesn’t really change my opinion on the matter.
