To think that changing your NN to take a pop at someone...

[XmasLogAndHollyOn]

Makes you a giant stinky chicken shit.

Seriously. Huge example of this yesterday. Someone changed their NN just to have a go at someone else. Not only that, but they even made their new NN well snidey to match what they thought of the other poster.

Seriously folks. If you want to argue with someone, or bitch at someone or kvetch about someone, at least have the strength of character to do it in your usual NN.

Changing to a snide name to make snide comments makes you look like Queen Cunt of Cuntington, and makes you lose any of the moral high ground that you may be sitting on in your head.

Its childish, its cowardly and it makes you a giant stinky chicken shit.

Oh damn it! What did I miss?

Oh YANBU.

Indeed. I am riled. It's such an unpleasant thing to do, that someone who was pretty unpleasant would do it.

And presumably you challenged them directly on that thread and reported the thread ?

I don't know - some posters write such utter shite that it might, on occasion, be justified

Yes I reported them to HQ, before you get all sanctimonious on my arse.

This thread is about the PRINCIPLE of the thing.

So, Monet, do you think it is reasonable or unreasonable to change your name to something snide just to have a go at someone else.

A yes or no will do. TIA.

Im pretty sure there is someone who does this to have a go at me regularly.

YANBU

Ah, shite, who cares? It obviously makes them look ridiculous and over-invested.

I can't actually namechange without asking HQ, so I don't bother, because I got specially granted this name after begging them. Someone had it from years ago, but never posted with it.

I have to admit that it does make me very slightly more polite

I am broadly in sympathy with your point Hollyon, but Monet cannot possibly answer your question with a yes or no because which bit would she be saying yes (or no) to: reasonable or unreasonable?

Insufferably pedantic, moi?

YANBU but thankfully most people on here would see it and think that poster is a nasty spiteful type and ignore their POV

there's always place in my heart for a bit of pedantry, so long as you don't change your nn to "grammatically incorrect idiot" to pull me up on it.

Don't think I wasn't tempted Hollyon

yy it is wanky and cowardly

yanbu

I honestly couldnt be arsed to name change to be nasty of course i can be as snippy as everybody else on here and if somebody has annoyed me I will say it as my own name to seek somebody out just to be nasty is childish and really isnt on

Wanky and cowardly sums it up nicely!

YANBU. Boils my piss when it's so fucking blatant.

unimpressed with your choice of language. I save the C word for special occassions............

We all live in a yellow submarine

YANBU
It is really cowardly. If you are not prepared to say something under your regular name then you should think twice about posting it at all. Namechanging should be for fun or for privacy issues only.

I also hate 'I am name changing because this might be controversial/I might get flamed'
You might as well post 'I am name changing because I m a weak ass piece of shite who lacks any conviction at ll'

Someone once pm'd me saying I had upset them and then kept hinting about who they were in a 'I am a regular and am friends with someone you know well in real life' way. I was boggled. I still don't know what the fuck that was all about

Can you give me the cunt occasions? I missed a memo.
I thought a cunt was for all year, not just for Chistmas ?

I also hate 'I am name changing because this might be controversial/I might get flamed'

hate that I am going to get flamed but i am a regular be nice to me fuck off just stop it,

Pag, that would annoy me no end. Why not just say who you are?

Name changing to have a pop at someone is the lowest of the low.

I know YouTheCat.
It's not as if I would send people around to her house

I'd be ashamed to do it. Shows a real weakness in you as a person.

Its OK chocolate. Where I live, today is genuinely Día Nacional Cunt and its marked on my calendar by me just now so its OK.
