Re: I Don't Like Complaining.
Calling a person by the wrong name has long been a tactic by some people to try and show that the person they are addressing is insignificant. Wrong name does not include shortened versions or recognised nick names. In real life I respond to James, Jim, Jimmy, Mr Buckley, James Buckley or Mr James Buckley or just plain Buckley. I do not respond to anything else. How could I? I wouldn’t know that I was being addressed if any other name was used.
Likewise on the forum my user name is jambutty, not jambuttie or jam or butty or JB. It is simply a mater of courtesy and if the courtesy is not forthcoming then it is plainly rude or lazy. The Antonym of courtesy is ‘bad manners’ and a person with bad manners is deemed to be rude.
I only know you as Madhatter on this forum and to call you by anything else is a discourtesy on my part. What they call you at work has no relevance.
Once again apologies to busman747 for drifting off topic but Madhatter strikes me as being the argumentative sort that will argue the toss come what may.
