I promise RB is the only alternative I refer to you as ![]() This thread has been so enlightening. Some who I'd of sworn were women are guys and visa versa. Dunno what makes you assume someone's sexuality just by reading. I guess it depends how aggressive the posts are. Strange eh ![]() Sorry RB

Aaah kindred spirits
The inappropriateness of mine speaks for itself given my post count and how very very long* I've been passively lurvin the craic on here. Cheers for many years of banter DS chatterboxes! [*longer than it looks, as I somehow got locked out under previous name] Note to self: must re-register next year, more honestly, pondering "Nowt2say4meself" - nope that's way too wordy, better go with "Mute" |

I chose mine in a hurry...it was going to be Sparkle-kitten Cardigan.
I need to change mine as it's too similar to FM Daisy Bumbleroot and people have mistaken me for them but DS won't let me....I've got such a better name lined up too. ![]()

This thread has been a fascinating read. I only wish I had been more desk bound yesterday to keep up with it as it unfolded.
I am wondering if I am the only person who has a distinct visual of some of FMs. This usually stems from their user names. I have a very clear picture of some of you in my minds eye. Do others create an image of posters they respond to regularly? |

Your not alone in generating a visual image out of the forum members name. I had you down as a university professor with facial hair.
how wrong can one be! I'd hate to think of how people visualise me T'was me who refers to Rancid as RB. I'm so pleased she doesn't mind. It's meant in an affectionate way as we have shared a few posts and tend to agree, mostly ![]() I love Dangermoose's name. It always makes me smile as I think about penfold from the children's show ![]() I don't mind what I'm called - but I do always give a little thank you in my head when you call me RB Quote:

Sorry RB ![]() ![]() Someone made the point about it being something about how 'aggressive' the posting style is (sorry - lost track of me quotes), and I think to some degree that's true. My debating style could be said to be a little um, direct, at times. When they train you to go for the jugular it's a hard habit to drop! Interesting though, that certain debating styles are associated with men and others with ladies.

I will say one thing. Being muggins14 has changed my life. Since joining DS I've made real-life friends (because I started out on a very long
AT) and especially two really good friends who have become very important to me and with whom I Skype almost daily, and see as often as I can. So, DS has a very special place in my heart

Great thread, rancid one.
I tried various names, which were all taken, so gave up and just used my real name. |

Or a ginnel!
Did you know that Sheffield has 8 different variations on it, either in spelling or pronunciaton. Or that the only place in the South of England that uses the same word (the jennel varation) is Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex. Apparently it's because a family from Sheffield moved there in the very early 1800s for work. (That's enough sensible for a bit)

But it's your direct posts that ( I think) made me presume you were male. I love how you persist with your posts when met with stupid arguments. I wouldn't have the energy

I had a devil of a time trying to persuade people I was female at first; I'd clicked male when I registerd (or not clicked female; not sure how it works) and couldn't figure out how to change it.
I can also be a bit, erm, forceful, at times. I think that might have added to the problem.For those trying to visualise fms, I'm stunning.

I've loved RB's posts, even though when we first met in a thread she lambasted me for attempting to de-rail it and we had a bit of a bicker
Hopefully she knows me better than that now ![]() Sowwy if anyone ever thinks I'm rude - I have a unintentional habit of being a bit 'teacher-y', especially when I'm missing telling the kids what to do and how to do it
