Henceforth utopian shall be known as the poster formerly known as Ron...maybe. .:roflmao:roflmao
Since I have other interests on the internet, and in the name of simplicity, and feeling the approach of the reaper, non-razor type, I am going by a name which allows me to know where/what forums/probable subject an email is dealing with when I receive it. 'saves having to read a few lines and restart my brain into a different pattern while reading.(difficult!):soapbox:
~Richard/Geezer
What if you a cool name like Max Power or Steel Savage. Would anybody believe that is you real name and not just a handle?:)
That would feel weird to go by my given name. For some reason, friends and coworkers always felt the need to give me nicknames. "Morty" was my all-time favorite nick. When I was on the sub, my shipmates called me "Moe" (nothing to do with the famous comedian). I've been called "Dee," I've been called "Doc" (I was a certified E.M.T. before I lost my hearing and my initials are M.D.).
Morty suits me fine.
Namaste -_-
My name might be David, but yet again it might not be.
I guess that's one of the joys of the internet.
You can always refer to me with just "Lord, Almighty" and bring various offerings to please me. I don't mind at all.
I'm just going to offer an apology to everyone here. When I'm posting on discussion forums or sending PMs, I always use SlowRain. I very, very seldom reveal my real name. I've had one person on a coffee-based discussion forum take exception to that--not to mention the completely misguided trend in some places to use real names in the failed attempt to decrease hostility--but I personally feel uncomfortable using my real name. There are rare occasions when I will, but it's only out of some unavoidable necessity. If it can be avoided, I most certainly avoid it. I am truly sorry if this bothers people, but I see no feasible solution.
As such, I usually try to refer to people by their usernames as well. Only if they are more commonly known by their real name will I use that instead.
Why must people insist on getting so hung up on such things ?? It's about shaving and such..not names and minor details.If I met one of you guys in person that would be different....maybe. But wether I know your real name or not is irrelevent until such time as I meet you.Besides I've come to like names such as Obie and Stubear ,why ya'll gotta get so OCD ??? Just sayin I guess,maybe it's just how I was brought up,I'm an older guy so I dunno?? This society is gettin too whiney sheesh. And Gssixgun sounds cool too ! :confused: Oh yea...nice ta meetya Ron or not but I'm really okay with Utopian,and also to Morty....I've never been on a sub but I think they are totally cool,20,000 leagues under the sea and Das Boot were two of my favorites as well as Run silent Run Deep...Fire torpedoes !! :)
I'd like to use the same username 'sailor' on few other internet forums i've signed as well but surprisingly there are other sailors in the world too :confused:
What it comes to sailor versus reality i'm in the navy. This year i've had the opportunity to choose (at least until some point) if i want to spend my time at the sea or doing whole other things at the base so i've chosen the latter: Now i could sign up as temporary-ex-sailor or land crab as well.
I could easily use my real name, but using foreign name on English speaking forum doesn't make it any easier than using sailor.
