To think that she should just stop commenting on my name?

I've been part of this local tight-knit volunteering group for about a year now. Recently, there was a change in 'leadership' which is fine. I have, however, been told by her (twice!) to change my email address (it's listed in the private group listing) as it looks 'rude'!

My email address is simply firstnamelastname, with my first name being probably the most popular shortened variant of a fairly popular name. In her eyes, it contains nothing but 2 bad words which 'gives the wrong impression'. Surely people aren't that daft to not realise that it's just my name, and a well-known one at that?

I'm gobsmacked by the ridiculousness of it all. AIBU?

My geography teacher was Mr Dickinson - which was funny / snigger worthy as teens alone, until one day we found out his first name was Ivor. 🤣

Always made me giggle at work using a Wayne Kerr meter!

Tell her to bloody deal with it! It is your email address, has been for some time, and frankly she should be concentrating on more important things.

Or perhaps tell her that you had never noticed anything wrong with your email add until she had pointed it out. Clearly she has a twisted mind :)

numberoneson · 12/01/2021 21:38

She has absolutely no right to ask you to change your personal email. Different if it's a work-only email. I'd tell her that it's none of her business, and nobody else has been precious enough to object to it, so she can shove it where the sun don't shine. Only perhaps more politely if you want to keep relations smooth!

BerlinCalling · 12/01/2021 21:42

Clicked on 'see all ops posts' aaand... she never came back. Annoying.

If that's the email address you identify yourself by then stick to it.
