Nicknames
« on: July 11, 2003, 04:07:38 PM »
A question. If someone was to come up to you (in real life) and call you by your online handle, how do you think you would react?

So, if someone came up to you and said, 'Hello Fellfrosch' or 'Hello, meaning of life the universe and everything' (although the thought that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is a bitter and cynical art teacher is probably more cthulhu-esk existance horror than i can handle), how would you react?

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Wouldn't bother me a bit, actually. I go by so many nicknames IRL that at this point I'll answer to just about anything.

Well someone called me by my nick and I didn't react at all. I was a bit confused at first.

Yeah, I address Jeffe as Jeffe all the time.

At any rate, I don't get called "Saint" very often, as most people i meet in real life are familiar with my actual character. But my two more common online handles are theLemur or BenReilly. And I have been called Ben on occasion. It doesn't phaze me. As for theLemur. that would be weird.

Stacer's been my nickname since high school, so I hear it a lot already. That's why I chose it as my nick, because it's easy, requires little brainpower to choose.

Not very anonymous, but oh well.
