Rules: changing someone's name?

Is claddy an explicit insult? Is King o’ Clad an insult?
Granted, that poster is not getting a lot of respect from the rest of the TM, but no one has resorted to kludgeking or cladinignorance.
Despite the frustration of the other posters, the level of personal hostility has remained low. If cladking expressed a desire that his name not be shortened or modified, that would change the situation. If a genuinely insulting name was thrown into the thread it would get Mod noted.
So far, I don’t see it.

Okay, good to know. I didn’t want to run afoul of the rules. Most posters in that thread are sticking to the “attack the argument, not the arguer” rule. And cladking, for his part, is staying civil.

I’m glad we’ve decided what to do when someone does something ostensibly innocent, but then deliberately persists after being told it is annoying.

I get your drift, but he is not insulting anyone with his signoff. Honestly, I’m not sure why it bothers people so much. He does plenty else to annoy people. If I was him, I’d actually be peeved. Here I am, stating my opinion, being divisive and argumentative, and all people get irritated over his my signature?

People I consider board friends call me Skaldy, Rhymey, The, and Teh with some frequency. I’m rarely bothered.

But would **Skald the Rimmer **be over the line?

I’m not going to threaten you over this. Figure it’s implied.
