Really? How many? How many people go around using their middle name instead of their first?
Or, how many people enjoy being called by their middle name instead of their first?
It's OBVIOUS that he uses his First name and wants others to do so (that's how he introduces himself).
If I introduced myself to you as "ed" (my first name) and you found my middle name and constantly called me that, I'd ask you if you had a fooking problem.
So, do you have a fooking problem?  |
Read again carefully. I answered your question about how many: "a lot."
He never introduced himself to me and told me what to call him. How is that OBVIOUS? Even if he did, but I knew it bothered him to be called by his middle name I would do it just to pissoff him (and MilwaukieDave) because he represents MOS - More Of the Same ol' crapola.
As Malcolm said, it is not about a black face in a high place. |

Well there we go. It's obvious that you're doing it just to piss people off. You're looking for confrontation and to be an annoyance - I guess the internet is the best place for ya.
For some reason I doubt you go around doing this in real life though.
Either that, or if you do, you're probably not all that popular of a person.
Have fun 'sticking it to everyone' though... you're a champ.  |

Obvious? Of course it is, I SAID IT!
But you're right. I only do it to people who have irritated me (and I have the patience of a saint). That is not why I did it originally in that post, but it is why I will continue to do it from now on.
I do, however, consider it bizarre that one is discouraged from calling someone by one's actual name. Absolutely true, I once knew a Jew named Adolf, and that's what we called him. He didn't get his panties all up in a knot over it. |

So why bother attacking soeone with such low attacks... why not come at them with factual arguments?
Why the need to resort to name-calling (even if it is somehow tied to their real name)? |

While I cannot promise to never again engage in real-name-calling, here are some facts for you from something I posted many months back:
| Quote: |
For those who believe that one of the leading Democratic or Republican candidates will get us out of the mess we are in, I have some bad news.
As Ralph Nader stated, they are two wings of the same party, both of which are financed by the same people, and peopled by the same apparatus. In 2004, the main fundraiser for Bush was the president of Citibank, and the main fundraiser for Kerry was the vice president of Citibank.
Let's go back to the collapse of the Soviet Union when we were supposed to reap a "peace dividend." What did the rulers do? Well, under Clinton there was a greater expenditure for arms than under Reagan!
In 2001, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. Richard Myers said, "It is very clear that Afghanistan is only a small piece of the US campaign that could last more than a lifetime." This ideology has been a barrage articulated not only by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al., it is also the litany coming from the Democratic party, e.g. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
BO said on Sept. 4, 2007: "Hit Iran where it hurts." "Americans need to come together to confront the challenge posed by Iran. The war in Iraq has strengthened Iran which poses for us the greatest strategic challenge in the Middle East in a generation. Iran supports violent groups and sectarians in Iraq. Iran fuels terror and extremism in the Middle East. Iran is making progress on a nuclear program in defiance of the international community. Iran calls for Israel to be wiped off the map." He follows this up by calling for a pre-emptive military strike on Iran.
On Aug. 3, 2007, speaking at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of the International School for Scholars, BO called for a US attack on Pakistan, more troops in Afghanistan, and unilateral attacks on Iran and Pakistan, and strengthening the US military and intelligence apparatus across the planet.
You could not fit a sliver of paper in between the ideologies of Dick Cheney and Barack Obama.
This is a crisis of capitalism addicted to permanent war, a facade of public relations types bought and paid for, a millionaires' club that fronts for a concentrated structure of power. If we do not grasp this, or provide a strategy for struggle based upon the essential recognition of the nature of our society, we will but perpetuate its rule, and prevent ourselves from reaching out to our own constituency.
This is a shell game, or one of "good cop, bad cop," if you will. It is designed to lure us into picking and choosing among those who have in mind the same old story. |
