My username does not have an "S" in it.

You know who you are.

 

[Brijan]

Did "they" use an apostrophe?

 

[winterknight]

Not that I've noticed.

But that would have made it even worse, not better

 

[trawler69]

Ok you got me Winterknight and I knew it. My phrase "Winters" was just a shortening of the whole thing, sorry if it offended you. Although my username is trawler69 I have no problem with people calling me trawler or trawles or whatever. I'm sorry if offended you. It was not intended.

 

[Brijan]

But that would have made it even worse, not better

Worse or correct?

For example: "Did you see Winterknight's post about [topic here]?"

 

[winterknight]

That wasn't where the S was going.

And it's not just one person, either.

 

[sixthson]

Where did he stick his 'S'?

 

[trawler69]

Well would you be kind enough to spell out the problem so we know why there is a problem and what it is, so that we / I don't repeat it.

 

[Pringle]

Winterknight - calm down dude - this abbreviation is normally a form of endearment. I love it when people call me Pringies. It means they like you. Trawler69 (who is one of the kindest people on here) and others are trying to hold out the hand of friendship. I'm sure now they know you don't like it they will avoid but a polite PM would probaly have been a nicer way to address this. Who knows you may have even struck up a conversation?

Emphatically NOT.

 

[Croynan]

Three phrases come to my local village idiot's mind - "How to win friends and infuence people." and tact and last but not least COMMON SENSE.

but then again what do i know

eM

if this has proven to be overly offensive and or none of my business, please report this posting to the mod, and indicate so and that you have my permission to have it removed asap.

Oops, I forgot to upload y-- I mean HIS picture.

 

[Soilwork]

so i guess me settling in for a long Winter's Night is out of the question?

 

[ahotjock71]

Where did he stick his 'S'?

I think we know where the offender wants to stick it!


WK - Maybe he wants you to be plural so he can love more of you.

 

[winterknight]

Sigh.

Okay, look, I'm sorry. It's just my name is something I'm a little sensitive about. Names are words of power, after all.

This thread was NOT directed at a specific person. There are a number of people out there who consistently get this wrong.

I can live with "WK" or an S-less "Winter". But PLEASE don't call me any other variations on the theme, I beg?

^ Of course Joe with all of the above it depends on the spirit of how they are delivered. I call myself some of those in public amongst friends. But I love being called a wanker in anger because I can always retort "at least I've got something to wank" or "haven't you discovered it yet, it's great"

 

[Pringle]

When people call me names in anger I always agree with them and thank them for their kind words - it throws them completely off track.

 

[slobone]

Just be lucky you get it shortened to something actually related to yours... my common nicknames are:

wanker
tosser
fuck face
fat bastard
baldy
specky cunt
poofter
fag

You left out loathsome toad...

Omigod I just thought of something -- Willy Wonka -- you don't suppose?....
