Shortening a username, by cutting it in half is normal. People call Pale Rider "Paley". They call newfhouse "newf". They call me "Mults" "Tool". People call Fozy Tornip "Fozy", and Rusty Nails "Rusty".
Is that taking the pîss? Or is it just a friendly moniker.
You, only you, demand some sort of exceptionalism about you, and start screaming and shouting, swearing, calling me a "cûnt" when I shortened icowden to "icow".
What should I shorten it to? Or are you now going to insist that everyone who says "tool, Rusty, fozy, Claud, newf, Bolders" etc etc is a bully and should stop.
You need to have a chat with yourself, son.
