I wouldn't do it as intimidation...but then I'm not terribly intimidating anyway.
Well said!

Pretty much if I know them and I know they won't be annoyed (ironic with the news article mention), I'll do it. If I don't know them that well, I wouldn't use their real name.

Oh you can call me Ray or you can call me Jay, or you can call me RJ, or you can me Johnson ...
