To ask you to vote in a poll re: my username

Okay, I know my name ruffles feathers. MNHQ sent me a (very nice) email back in February asking if I would consider changing it, I have only just seen the email Blush

I said to MNHQ that I might throw it open to a poll. They said probably not a good idea because people who would prefer me to change it might be reluctant to admit it for fear of being called a prude. So here's the deal; you can be honest. If you think I should revert to CupcakesandBunting say so and no-one will call you a prude here. If you'd like my present name to stay say so too. No-one will call you a potty-mouthed numpty. Also, if you couldn't give a crap, you can say so too Wink

Place your votes...

NOW!

Meh.

I am about as popular as a warm fart on a crowded train.

Usual was sick on my cat Sad. She had eaten some carrots before barfing too.

scottishmummy · 16/07/2011 00:12

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 00:13

I like scottish. You are in the clique, scottish. Stop fighting it!

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 00:14

Actually, Cuntcakes has a really nice ring to it. Might have found a winner there.

scottishmummy, the thread could have gone either way. I could have had fifty people pile in and tell me to change my name and stop being a dick. I could not forsee the outcome of the thread.

However, if you don't like how things are going you could always like, post elsewhere.

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 00:15

how are you structuring this poll, btw? do you have to get a yes from over 50% of MN's membership (what is it now, 850,000?) to keep your name? Grin Wink

nakedandangry · 16/07/2011 00:16

keep the name. It is because 'Bupcakes' is so badly wrong that you get away with the Cunting. Also I remember you because of your good and wrong name.

usualsuspect · 16/07/2011 00:16

I love SM

shes one of my favourites

scottishmummy · 16/07/2011 00:16

anyhoo, i post where and as i wish as do you,thats rub on mn

ChaosTrulyReigns · 16/07/2011 00:17

Aitch, I think it's more to do with the direction of the wind and a warm fart.

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 16/07/2011 00:18

for me, keep it. i like the subversive feel of it - like someone who might add voddy to the village fete punch just before the vicar's wife takes a cup, or goes round sticking knitting needles in everyone else's sponge cakes to deflate them before the judging starts ...

tho i DO like the suggestion upthread of BupcakesandTwunting... it is my new favourite sweary word [hsmile]

scottishmummy · 16/07/2011 00:18

so enigmatic.wind and warm fart.like greggs

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 00:22

Thing is, the good people like SM. Can't help but. I like the way she riles the cunty types so effortlessly. I would like her more though if she would come and help me wipe the sick off Usual's arms. This is the last time I drink Tequila Gold with her....

madhattershouse · 16/07/2011 00:22

Only just seen the thread....KEEP the name..have seen it many times. It's you, it's like saying Mike Hunt needs to change his name as it may cause offence!! Grin

You certainly may post where and how you wish SM. I don't tell you to do otherwise. I could have been roundly turned on. I still could be. It's an Internet forum. What kind of twat tries to be popular on an Internet forum? Was trying to get a feel for if my name was offending folk. Sorry I didn't run it by you first.

AgentZigzag · 16/07/2011 00:23

Saw the post numbers jump up and I'm disappointed it hasn't descended into a swearfest.

Definately keep the name.

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 00:23

scottishmummy · 16/07/2011 00:24
