re: The one and only "discussing other peoples name change" thread

I am beginning to see why this place is becoming deserted like rats off a sinking ship.

If it doesn't bother Bandoman, I don't see why it should bother any of you. Starting a whole thread about it was immature and stupid. Maybe I should start a thread called "The one and only get over your fucking self thread."

P.S. Those newbies who would be so "confused" by my name also get asked for pics? pee in her butt! take the lump sum! Do you work for DelMonte? every time they join up. Maybe you guys need to remember the meaning of the word "joke."

It's becoming a telenovela. Where you come each week to read the latest drama thrill.

1. The thread was started by a mod. Taking posts from the initial thread.
2. Just because VEG will not defend himself does not mean his friends will not.
3. All of the poster's defending VEG are poster's that have been here for a long time. It has nothing to do with the Forum "sinking," but moreso to do with support.
5. Sorry. #4 was filled with inappropriate comments and some swearing.
6. Sometimes Vibiana's Enormous Genital's are able to survive in the world on their own. And sometimes they need someone to have their back. Decency and politeness are not weakness. But some people are confused by it.

*trying to get over myself, but I'm just too damn fine.

Damned if you do... [edited for clarity etc.]

Pesky mod accepts blame and closes this split-off thread temporarily while sorting out some of the behind-the-scenes flak.

To avoid further potential embarrassment, discord or whatever it is we have witnessed here, there'll be no further other-member-referencing name changes.

My thanks to all here who have eloquently made their points on behalf of the members at large.

Not closed.

I don't care about what Bando thinks but I think this particular name change is silly and doesn't make any sense. If it is supposed to be a joke, what's the joke and where's the funny?

We can all agree that this is not as bad as Del Monte killing pandas.

What if this was an ingenious plan by the powers that be to allow such a ridiculous name change that it turned public opinion against name changes?

Seriously, if the two parties involved are fine with it, the discussion is over. I mean, why does anyone give two rips about another user's username?

To be honest, I rarely even look to the left to know who is writing or to whom I'm replying.

So you're saying you're in favor of everyone signing their posts?

Solid Snake PAC is one guy I can usually identify without checking to the left.

If both parties are cool with the change, I don't see a problem. Sooner or later I'll associate the new name with the old, although it will be a little jarring in the short term. Some of the other changes make me chuckle, some make me scratch my head.

No, I'm for banning there as well. I'm just not very observant.

To possibly be serious, I guess I'm ok with the changes too, fwiw. The traditionalist in me hates change and thinks that once you've built a community name changes can be jarring, hence the original rule. But in real life people change their own names, and friends and family get used to it.

As long as it's a fairly rare event and they aren't made to be malicious or confusing, like ideologues swapping handles.

Agreed. I think it's a bit jarring right now because there was a bit of pent-up demand. But once that settles down I don't think it will be much of an issue going forward.

Change your name to something stupid like that because you think it's funny, then when the folks on DVDTALK call you out on it you shouldn't act so surprised and butthurt.
