Yes, I understand how you feel. Allow me to explain why I believe there 
is a difference here:

The title-stripping page warns in italics, red, bold, big and blinking 
or so (ok, not really, but at least two of those) that this is a very 
serious matter, should never be done for OOC purposes, is attacking the 
very foundations of medieval society and should only be used in the most 
extreme circumstances.

The buying a title page has no such warning, and neither does the 
secession page.

I agree 250 characters is too little, I've since raised the limit.
