predisposes people to react in a certain way to you?

The reaction I get on the BF boards is second to none. I know I can raise contentious issues. Anyone else get the 'oh it's you again' type response? Or the converse 'oh we love you' response?

Much like your RL name then. As people recognise you, and your 'form'.

wukter · 19/11/2010 23:22

Just read that back, it sounds snippy and that's not my intention. I mean 'form' in a neutral way, I don't hang out on the Baby Feeding boards so I only recognise your name not your perspective.

NotANaturalGeordie · 19/11/2010 23:24

I have never read a post by you before and your MN name means v little to me. You must have a history for people to react to!

llareggub · 19/11/2010 23:26

Isn't this true of all names?

tethersend · 19/11/2010 23:30

I hope reading my name reminds people to bow down before my greatness and superior knowledge on all things.

LaWeaselMys · 19/11/2010 23:31

Not really?

Sorry. Once you've been on here a while obviously you recognise people and some people will recognise you -but I don't tend to have a set opinion of most people unless it's about a certain topic where certain posters are very knowledgeble and therefore you seek them out a bit more.

SkylineDrifter · 20/11/2010 00:06

I assume people imagine me drifting up there in the clouds somewhere. I'm not, I have my feet firmly on the ground.

That is, of course, if they pay any attention to me at all.

DioneTheDiabolist · 20/11/2010 00:08

I a kind of Satanist.

gibbberish · 20/11/2010 00:11

People assume I speak rubbish for some reason. It is very unfair and uncalled for.

Sob.
