not a problem, it highlights the fact that people can be touchy about their names. I am not marcus on here, i doubt any of are our real selves on this board (and a discussion of what constitutes one's real self, would go for ages if it were properly discussed). imo we are a splinter of ourselves, a reflection on here, a persona. we have usernames, but as some of you have noticed, i am not fond of my name being used on here, why have a username otherwise? Ant knows this, i have said it enough times on here, so if he is going to use my name to mildly annoy me, i will do the same

Certainly it wasn't aimed to annoy you - I know you in person, and I address you by Marcus - so why would I address you differently because we are communicating on B&A rather than face to face?

I don't mind being called Dave on here, that's my name after all, but I'm sometimes puzzled when I'm called Dave by people I don't know.
How do they know who I am?

I'd be pretty upset if people revealed by real name on here.

I think Trevor has the right attitude on this one tbf
I've never thought to ask Clive if he minds me using his first name on here though. Clive, do you mind?

Matrons real name is Pab, except for the first friday of each month in the back room of the Red Lion he is known as Cilla.

I hate it when people call me by my real name on here. Yet more attention-seeking from B&A's oddest poster. My forum enemies have often tried to intimidate me into silence by using my real name. I don't really care in truth.

There's a Phd student out there somewhere writing a treatise on usernames. We increasingly live in a virtual world Simianus /simulacrum?

I'm very uneasy about being called by my real neme, so I invented a nickname. I called myself "handsome", but it didn't catch on for some reason.
