swearing/names

something has bothered me recently... i agree with the swearing policy, although I myself am not offended by swearing... i think it's a good idea...

but there is someone with a name that really bothers me... phucknuckle.

i don't know why it bothers me so much... but it does.... if you read this phucknuckle, it isn't personal!!!

But just was thinking... if it was spelled fucknuckle then people would complain... why is a ph different?

sorry just adding to this thread as although it's not actually 'swearing' as a name I do find rather offensive when people change their name to things such as "The Devil"........

In the same way that Pagans may find someone calling them a 'witch' offensive I (as a Christian) find it very offensive and off putting when people call themselves the Devil.....

crumbs Gwenick, I didnt find that offensive or the StMichel nickname... but must admit, books that refer to themselves as "the Bible of X" get up my nose.

however good point gwenick

Gwenick · 05/06/2005 12:49

well Nightynight - I don't have any books in my house called the "bible" of x - apart from 'real' bibles - nor do I have any stories/dvds/videos with 'devils' in them.

i think its offensive to have your "handle" as a derivitive of your real name or a foodstuff

NIghtynight are you a fan of Jill the crazed hairdresser? Is that why you chose that name?
