It would be strange if Loony BoB ever did say my name right, but at least in this situation I am not offended by it. My apprehension at people using my real name stems from the years of bullying re: such a thing. I don't know when or how or why but I have fallen into that position when people refer to me more by my name than my nick. (And while it is nice to be considered on friendly terms with people and having nicknames is an excellent feeling, I still cannot look past the fact that the way people routinely refer to me is synonymous with removing one's/someone else's pants.)

I am using my name less in meatspace too, for reasons that are not worth going into here. But I think we should have a little courtesy for those who wish or do not wish to be called something.

PS BoB you will never be a wanker, because I get you. Uh, I mean, you are a git.
