Then you will understand my objections to certain individuals who deliberately mis-name me.

A typo I can accept but deliberately mis-naming a person is just crass ignorance. It’s the sort of behaviour that belongs in a Kindergarten and so do the people who perpetrate such a discourtesy.

The thing is if they're insulting me then they're leaving everybody else alone, and anyway I'm think skinned and can take it http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/...s/0002006E.gif

It is even more pathetic, lazy, disrespectful and insulting to call someone by a name other than their own.

Would you ask your greengrocer for a pound of CP’s?

Would you call your boss by his initials or his abbreviated name to his face, unless it was the norm?

This whole issue is a puerile sub-conscious attempt to try and establish an infantile superiority over the person you name. Old fashioned foremen would often mis-name a new employee as a means of establishing who is boss. Tradesmen would also employ the same tactic when addressing their apprentices.

Have you ever thought that we abbreviate your name in an affectionate way?

Doesn't bother me either. Only difference with my name and my user name is that on here the H is not added. Reason is that i didn't realise i'd not put the H on until after i registered.

I once, in affection, called a member on this forum 'Jim Bitty', inspired by that sterling BBC programme, Little Britain.

I'm not sure how well it went down.

Probably not as well as Mummy's milk.
