| Jan 8, 2012 at 23:20 | comment | added | Tynam | @wraith808: User names may be a separate meta question, but ExTSR could have a point here; SE sites are a little impersonal on purpose - SE is not a forum. (Of course, many people prefer to use real names as user names, but that's a deliberate choice.) In this case, extra familiarity can intensify the argument. It's very much a personal taste thing though; it depends somewhat on how formal a culture you're used to. | |
| Oct 28, 2011 at 2:43 | comment | added | Chuck Dee | @ExTSR The I must ask that someone explain seems a bit condescending. And I don't get where users should be addressed by their user names, and why real names (if known) are inadvisable. | |
| Oct 27, 2011 at 4:00 | comment | added | mxyzplk Mod | Dude, nobody's attacking you, and if you want me to call you @ExTSR then just ask me to. This is all coming across as a lot of "tell your mother I'm not talking to her." If you want to talk about the issues raised here (like violence in gaming) do that, or if you just want to discuss "procedure" that's fine, but stop circling around and decide what you want to stand by. I am not attacking you, I was rebutting claims you were making in an attempt to derail my question - a 6 month old question you answered already, back in May, without raising any concerns at the time. | |
| Oct 27, 2011 at 2:34 | comment | added | ExTSR | I must ask that someone explain to this moderator that users should be addressed by their user names. Personal names (especially when used as above, in conjunction with one of several attacks) would seem inadvisable. | |
