Do you have an MD or Ph.D.?
And Barack Obama doesn’t post here?
Then what is he doing all day?
I hear he has an IuD. 
Soon he will be Barack_Obama anyway.
Not the ex-president, the poster. Assuming that he is not, in fact, the ex-president.
Neither is RTFirefly.
Can’t argue with that.
Tripler
. . . get off my manicured silo-hatch lawn.
Are you a hummingbird?
That is a actual nickname of mine.
But what happens if someone gets ahold of one of the poster BO worst trolling posts and runs it all over the internet, claiming it came from the ex-president?
What exactly is gained by letting trolls give themselves such names?
btw, I have no issues with “Askreddit”, in fact that one BO poster was the only one I had issues with the name of.
If my name misled anyone into believing I was a Minor League Baseball player or the Wayne County Circuit Clerk, it was purely unintentional.
As Mr. Lennon so precisely stated, It’s just a name.
I’m kind of cool with it. Now I’ll be Backwater Underscore Under Underscore Duck. Kinda got a good beat.
What posts are you referring to? I would assume you have reported these “worst trolling posts” to the moderators, right?
If someone is thick enough to believe that the former President is the same person as his namesake here, all the mods or admin or They Who Own Our Asses would have to do is say “Nope, not the same guy”.
They’d get laughed at and mocked for such an inane plan?
So there is no problem, right?
Again, if someone is thick enough to think that the Baraks are one and the same, TPTB will set the straight.
Damn, I don’t live in Japan anymore. Do I need to change my name to the_poster_who_formally_lived_in_tokyo_and_changed_his_name_from_player_to_bayer?
It kind of rolls off the tongue.
Maybe if you have Gene Simmons’s tongue.
Give it back. Shannon Tweed misses it.
By no means am I concerned about that. Nor do I think we need to worry that the good Doctor Qadgop the Mercotan is gonna be thought of as the slimy space monster.:eek:
I only want well known political persons names blocked- I dont want to see Donald Trump, Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. You can call yourself Ron Seavers or Edith Nesbit or even Leroy Jethro Gibbs as far as I am concerned.
Not to mention- it can be illegal-Penal Code 529 PC, California. Mind you, "makes it a crime to engage in false impersonation. This is defined as using another person’s name or identity to cause harm to that person or to gain an unjust advantage." so that is a issue- but how do we know WHY someone picked that name? Our president named poster certainly wasnt looking to bring glory onto that name, now was he? Does the SDMB need the legal issue?
Look, we had one Barack Obama, and he was a troll. Anyone who is gonna name themselves Donald Trump is also gonna be a troll. Why not nip it in the bud?
And I am not Zefram Cochrane.
Thye banned him, please note. So, maybe they saw some posts that werent so nice, eh?
Yeah, like they will get to talk to the lawyers. Nope, all we will see is this board shut down.
