you know, i don't think i have seen anybody make that request anywhere, so if it was made a long fucking time ago, then too fucking bad, you can't expect people to go back and check if somebody wants their name shortened a particular way or not. do what honeypaws does. if it fucking matters to you what people call you put that in your fucking sig.



Ummmm, that particular poster has done that. My thinking is that if being called a certain thing annoys you that much, you might want to look inside yourself & see what that trigger is & consider covering it over. People aren't going to behave a certain way just because you want them to. Sorta like what I did with my sister. I had numerous buttons she could push & I was like her little puppet, reacting every time. Then one day I got tired of giving her that power & covered over the buttons & stopped reacting. When the other party won't play anymore, the game is pretty much over.

So if it bothers you that much what people on teh interwebz call you, get over it & stop giving them that power over you. Just sayin...

My only problem is on the other side when people start thinking they're clever and Dommy by calling me slave (and other super fun thins). Then, I get irked and do it back to them. They either get mad or get the point.

It doesn't bother me when they do it to me because they usually just call me "luci" which is what I sign my posts as. It does rub me the wrong way when I see angry posters modifying each others' names, esp. in a derogatory way. There's one poster who jumps to mind who has specifically asked others not to short her name to the first word in her profile name. While attacking her in a current thread, several folks kept calling her that instead of what she had specifically asked folks to use. Just another way for them to be rude and irritating. I find it childish and very telling about their maturity level.........luci

Funny you should mention that.  If we're thinking of the same person, I think that's the only person who has been around the boards for a while who I can recall mentioning it.  As Lin mentioned, it is in the sig line but I also know that some people don't read those as opposed to only reading the content of the post.  Sig lines are catchy and all but they don't always get read when people are focused on the topic.  I couldn't even tell you if I've made the mistake Myself.  I have seen it mentioned enough times on threads *now* that I would hope that I wouldn't.  If I hadn't seen it as part of the posts, I may see the tag line or I might not.

Well, if you haven't seen it, it must not have happened or be too important. As I said, it doesn't matter to ME. I've been around here posting and reading for going on 5 years and I just happen to remember that she has asked politely on numerous occasions not to call her what she's been called alot recently. Just stuck in my mind, no big deal to me personally. I don't always agree with her but I'm always careful to call her what she asks. I just think it's the decent thing to do. But then, I'm considerate like that. I disagree with pretty much every opinion you put forth and don't call you bad names at all. At least not in posts

Funny thing is, SHE isn't the one saying it annoys her at this point. I said it rubbed ME the wrong way because I know she's been vocal over the years about it. She's not the only one who has asked not to be called by a shortened part of/one word from their profile name. We could certainly ALL stand to look inside ourselves and introspect more. I don't think it has a thing to do with anyone having "power" over anything. It just has to do with people going out of their way to be inconsiderate. Yeah, the world (esp. the web) is full of them. Doesn't make it a good thing..........luci

I mean if you use a name and you aren't aware that online it usually gets shortened to the first part of your name, you must have just gotten a computer. As for somebody telling me what to call them, eh well, dream on.

I think this particular person butchered my name a few times (didn't really bug me) but I found it so funny when the hissy fit started that I didn't use the name she wants me to use but part of her nick. I guess I am very easily amused sometimes...

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, yeah people are generally going to shorten a nic to some version of the first part of the nic. On the other hand, if the person signs their posts with what they prefer to be called, that's what I'm going to call them. After all it is their preference.

I didn't really think about it untill the other day someone called me MIP while saying she was happy to see me back (thank you it is nice to be missed) and a bell went off in my head...Minor in Possession. I haven't been a minor in many years so I think it is kind of funny. When I really get to know someone I tell them what people in the real world that really know me call me. Online as long as I know they are talking to me I figure it's all good.

Yes, but I'm not obliged to cater to everybody elses preference, if somebody is going to ask to be called "Shewhowilltellyoutheonlytrueway" - could you actually be arsed? And as said before, oddly enough it's usually the people who do with other people's nicks whatever they like, possibly in the hope to get a raise out of them, that are so super touchy about. Seriously, if you throw a hissy fit because somebody didn't call you exactly what you like to be called online, it's time for a reality check.

Really it shouldn't be a hardship to call the person by the nic they prefer so I don't sweat it. I also don't feel the need to do as they do, I'd rather show myself to be above that kind of pettiness.

by christ's moldy cloak you're a tall drink of nothing aren't you?

The funniest part about this whole exchange is that I never said a word about YOU. I posted what I did without saying who I'm even talking about and I surely didn't mention anyone who was doing the name-shortening. You come right along and pipe up like someone's saying you did it and now you're saying that I "obviously think" YOU are doing it deliberately. Who ever mentioned YOU except YOU? Take it easy 'cause I sure didn't. If the shoe fits and all that, but I don't "obviously think" anything about you. Newsflash, you're not the topic on everyone's mind for every post.

Also, in case you didn't notice, I was having a sense of humor when I said if you didn't know about it, it didn't happen. Notice the smiley? In lieu of facial expressions and tone of voice, I use those to show a light-hearted mood. I was actually kidding you, for once, instead of being full-out irked by something you'd said. And here you have to go and ruin it by being all guilty and over-sensitive. Geesh.

And "a tall drink of nothing?" For calling a spade a spade even though I didn't name anyone? Hardly. I'm quite something frankly

Only when people call me Lucy Elastic, cos it shows they dont know how to pronounce lucylastic (loose elastic).
Call me Luce, Call me Lucy, Call me Luc or Loose, Call me Ma'am or call me for a coffee, but trying to seem smart and pissy is just dumbassery;)
If I butcher anyones name, its rarely on purpose and I will usually respects someones wishes regarding such.

My name comes from Kali and Kshama, so I think it's funny when people shorten it to kalik, but it doesn't bother me because I have no expectation that others are up on Hindu deities.
