Laying AnyFucker to rest....

Please forgive this self-indulgent thread, it is only my second in several years, so I am owed one I think Smile

A thread I was on last night made me finally realise that the ridiculously-ballsy caricature of a reputation that goes before
this name was devaluing the message I was trying to convey. It was the gaslighting one, FWIW, but this isn't really about that.

I am not going anywhere, I love MN too much but AF has to go Smile

Just wanted to get it off my chest, and hopefully stop the "where is AF" speculation that sometimes can go along with a prolific poster suddenly stopping posting.

See yas around Smile

I nearly called the hread "AnyFucker Must Die" but thought that could be construed as even more attention seeking Grin

You just want the chance for your words of wisdom to finally make it into the papers, don't you?

MrsDollFace · 15/02/2011 09:40

This is a sad sad day :(

MOSP · 15/02/2011 09:41

OK, you have my permission to name change. On one condition: you must PM everyone and let them know who you are.

RIZZ0 · 15/02/2011 09:41

I've just gone off my breakfast... Sad

I suppose it seems a bit harsh to people who don't know why you're called it, but naming yourself that was was borne out of a nice gesture innit.

hobbgoblin · 15/02/2011 09:41

t key isn't going to help your reincarnation efforts!!!

I started to read the gaslighting thread but not got to the end so not sure what your advice was.

But I can understand wanting to avoid: 'AF - synonymous with...' scenario.

What about KillBill as name? Wink

AF why are/were you called AF (which BTW when abbreviated like that has a whole other connotation)

ShirleyKnot · 15/02/2011 09:45

Sad BOO!

But at least you're not leaving!

BD, the story is that a lovely poster came back to MN after a break and said "I don't know any fucker any more Sad "

So I name changed (from a previous name) to AnyFucker and said "you know me".

And it stuck. For 3 years Shock

RIZZ0 · 15/02/2011 09:53

At my first place of work I have the nickname Fluffer by a group of males Hmm When I used to ask why, I got patted on the head and told it ws because I was always tidying and "fluffing" things. Then they would snigger.

Ah, I was innocent once...

LadyBiscuit · 15/02/2011 09:53

It's still a fart, whatever it's called. I'm crap at spotting people but shall be looking out for you in your new incarnation

prettywhiteguitar · 15/02/2011 09:54

I'm surprised you're letting someone get to you that you'd change your name ?

You can't hide from us so why try !!!!

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 15/02/2011 09:57

Ooh! Ooh! Become TheArtist (formally known as AnyFucker), or Tafkaf for short. Or the AdviceFairy (does what it says on the tin).

TobyLerone · 15/02/2011 09:58

I'll be sad at the demise of AnyFucker. I hope that with the name change doesn't come an entire change of personality. AnyFucker reminds me a lot of myself. And to be honest, I think MN needs a little more no-nonsense, unfluffy commenting.
