Real names on a message board

[Lisa]

My nick IS my name...but that's my choice.

There are some people whom I address by their real names, TE, Hooper, Trey from Epic (who everyone knows is Trey anyway), occasionally Grimm, CJ, Sykk, MikeAI (who's real name isn't all that different anyway).

These are people who a] I have known for a long time, b] I have met in real life and c] I know don't have a problem with it.

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

Hi, my name is Kirk.

I don't know, Lisa. You've always made me quiver.

Hi, Kirk, ya big stud, you!


OK, rhetorical...you and I go back to having intelligent conversations on all manner of subjects.

Blessed are the peacemakers...for they are generally the ones shot first.

It's been my role for so damned long I'm used to it.

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 ...
