Offensive nicknames

I'm going to be flamed, I know!

I get that people just want to avoid being quoted in the Mail but - sigh - do we really have to have so many names with fuck, cunt, twat in them?

I'm not anti swearing but I've just had it drummed into me that these words are offensive. I don't mind, for instance, 'DP was 4 hours late and I am so fucked off, AIBU to rhink he's a twat?' I wouldn't personally but you know, free speech and all.

But that's very different to just having them there. I've just replied to another poster who's username is nothing but swear words and three of the sort generally considered to be most offensive.

I don't know; I just don't like it - does anyone feel the same as me? Or am I being cats-bum-mouthed?

Right the sainted David Bowie has been dead long enough for me to name change back to OhWhatFuckeryIsThis. When I can find my password that is.

I find myself agreeing with you Kate. I find the sweary names just, tiresome, really. Although for some reason I'm not bothered by AnyFucker (and infact think it's a really clever nn) ... perhaps its because you're part of the furniture?

I love a good swear and probably swear in most of my posts, but I just think if my son's 12 year old friends set up a secret forum they would all have sweary names. I equate it with immaturity I suppose.

katefuckswilly · 11/06/2016 14:53

I inspired myself...Thanks OP!!

sandylion · 11/06/2016 14:51

Yes!!! Katemiddletonsnudeshoes is a fucking awful name with 3 things I hate in it. I'm.not sure if it's meant to be an ironic nod to all that is bland. Now if it was katefuckswilly, I could get on board with that.

dafuqisdis · 11/06/2016 14:46

If any user names should be banned it's the "wacky" or "kooky" ones. Soz Katemiddletonsnudeshoes but yours is one of the offenders!

I always imagine the posters saying "oooh I'm mad me!"

Pissflaps!

Wolfiefan · 11/06/2016 14:36

Perhaps we should change our usernames to:
FuckyouDailyFail
DailyFailarearseholes
CuntingDailyFail
DailyMailtwats???

Wolfiefan · 11/06/2016 14:35

I keep wanting to address EatshitDerek as Eatshit. That seems so wrong and rude!

rainbowstardrops · 11/06/2016 14:28

Most of them just make me giggle but maybe I'm just childish

I still chuckle everytime I read EatshitDerek

AintNobodyHereButUsKittens · 11/06/2016 14:20

The Daily Mail do quote people from MN all the time though. Posters with anti DM nicknames aren't just imagining it.

NerrSnerr · 11/06/2016 14:16

There is a difference between arse and cunt
Someone was clearly paying attention in biology class weren't they?

Queenbean · 11/06/2016 14:16

I can't get worked up about it.

The ones "mumto3angels" or "bensmum" are much worse.

Nobody notices my name is sweary any more

Or it's that I get indulged like a dotty old aunt

Disgraceful, this should be in Sex or AIBU

Surferjet · 11/06/2016 14:01

I agree op. It's just childish really ( oh look at me with a swear word in my username 🙄
And the daily mail ones? are their posts so interesting that they think the papers are hanging on their every word?

Buttock · 11/06/2016 14:00

I don't find many names offensive but there's one these days with the F word and bitch. I find it horrible.

ABCAlwaysBeCunting · 11/06/2016 13:55

I thought about changing mine to 'gosh darn' but didn't

WellErrr · 11/06/2016 13:54

well the user18467235427864892 accounts are accounts made on the app that have to be verifed before they can have a proper NN

I know but they're so annoying! Most places you just can't post until you verify your email. And it must be a recent thing?

Sparklingbrook · 11/06/2016 13:53

if I'm replying to a poster and their name is nothing but swear words I then have to use those words myself.

No you just quote them and bold it and pick it to bits without even using their NN.

The first one is only for Fridays at Center Parcs.

MaisieDotes · 11/06/2016 13:45
