to want people to stop all this ******* of names

[MrKrabs]

so a thread goes

foxinsocks yes it was Yesterday

spawnchours we ate the lot

dittany yes porn is NOT harmless

anna do you live in Paris by any chance

it makes the threads very bossy

what is your point? I dont understand it without bolding

I love a chippy thread first thing on a Monday - gets the week going, dunnit?!

I find if I copy from the bar showing the poster that that is how it comes out. I am just trying not to offend poster by mistyping the name if i try to retype other then copy and paste.

Do you prefer a 'MrKrabs - ' ? Or are you against addressing individuals or do you prefer things to be a bit more cryptic (and quite possibly a lot more fun )

I wouldnt out you if you were posting about say genital warts under another name.

we are all under nom de plumes.

its not your job to identify people is it? what is the problem with me having multiple names?
there are reasons for it and if you would bear that in mind I would be ever so grateful.

thanks

is MrKrabs COD ?

I reckon if it's a side-comment to one poster, then it's polite to label it. And making it bold makes it stand out better for that person to see.

So, I for one will continue to do it.

But don't feel you have to if you don't like it

custardo, we all have a posting 'schtick' don't we? No need to out her, given the reasons why she namechanges

yuo wuold hve to be blnd and stupid not to know who she is.

which is my point.

she outs herself.

[blind and stupid emoction]

clearly some people are blind and/or stupid though

Not me, of course.

Presumably she doesn't want to be searchable however. So what if she outs herself that way. It is more interesting with her around and I think many of us like to draw attention to ourselves on MN.

Why is everyone so mad?

Really don't get this name changing malarky. The whole website is anonymous so what's the point of name changing? Knowing MrKrabs is also Cod means absolutely nothing to me - I still don't know who you are!!

But back to the point in hand. Bolding a username is very useful - I love mn however have limited time to read all posts. Also I like to show people that I've appreciated their responses and so endeavour to mention people by name.

I'm gonna continue to do it till I'm old and gray!

It's a bit insensitive to use the old name when she had good reason for stopping using it custy, even if people recognise the posting style. It's fair to assume that the "problem" people maybe don't recognise the style and would only search for the name.

I hadn't spotted the connection, only that MrKrabs seems to be having a grumpy morning

Doodle I had not realised you where dumb you are hiding your cards very well!

If you say mrkrabs is cod I'll beleive you. But not sure why she has to be outed.

Oooo wanna fight?

maybe

On a Monday? What sort of weekend did you have??

I had a feeling the old hunnies were back. Awesome!

Some customary MN hugs are in order.

Custardo have you considered a career as a private detective??

I agree though MrKrabs AKA Cod is her own worse enemy.

But then if you genuinely maintain anonymity, you miss out on the fawning...it's such a tough call. (I must want a fight as well.)
