Shortening a username, by cutting it in half is normal. People call Pale Rider "Paley".
Well yes. He refers to himself as Paley.
They call newfhouse "newf".
A simple contraction. And it's pretty much always you that uses it.
They call me "Mults" "Tool".
Again simple contractions
People call Fozy Tornip "Fozy", and Rusty Nails "Rusty".
Simple contractions of two part user names. Human nature.
Is that taking the pîss? Or is it just a friendly moniker.
Neither. It's a simple contraction of a longer username.
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".
No. I asked you to stop insulting me. You didn't. So I insulted you. Quite simple.
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.
Maybe stop using Trumpian nicknames in
every post that you make, even when it isn't needed out of a misplaced desire to show that you are the big man? If you don't like people pointing out what you do, maybe question why you are doing it?
Check back over this thread and see how many times people have used your actual name or handle. See?
