Fo sho! I use Gary and GLB interchangeably; that is when I am not in my home country where I am called, "Your Lordship", or, "Sovereign of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith".
As to renaming the thread, if you would like to, your suggested title sounds great. Or if you wanted to make it more general you could say, "Another slant on STO vs. STS", "Seeking definitions of STS vs. STO", etc.
Though given the abundance of polarity-related threads, specifying the particular angle of approach would prob be helpful.
In short, I support your free will to name as you see fit. : )

I know, right? What a bad hangover to, choose service to self in that "instant" of third-density and wake up on the flip side of fourth density saying, "OH F*CK, what was I thinking? That's the last time I'm getting drunk on power and greed."
Oceania, I saw that quote too!
Not.
(That was a well-timed "not", don't you think? Oh man... just kidding.)
Sorry sister but I am of the opinion also that such a quote does not exist. Love to be mistaken about this, and if you find it you definitely get Bring4th Member-of-the-Month parking. (It's a primo spot, right next to the elevator.)
Philosophically, here's my take on why Ra, messenger of the Law of One, would not/could not support "right/wrong" as anything but relative concepts.
In my opinion, "right" and "wrong" are concepts which are too dependent on shifting, arbitary, time-and-space-bound contexts.
There are any number of relative, subjective factors which determine what is right and what is wrong, including but not limited to: Ones age, culture, historical situation, geographical region, religion, depth of spiritual understanding, whether one has been recently given a wedgie, and biggest of all, polarity.
All other things being equal, the polarities have diametrically opposite and inverse views of right and wrong.
You and me and other third-density beings can utilize ethics of "right" and "wrong", and, short of enlightenment, probably should.
But from the standpoint of the Law of One, that which "blinks neither at the light nor the darkness", there is ultimately no such thing as right/wrong, just the Creator interacting with the Creator -- with more or less distortion.
With good love, GLB
