I'm not sure what the psychology is behind such things, but it doesn't really bother me to have people call my "cynicpro" because I have to admit I am rather cynical, and I might have even adopted the name myself.

It's usually more fun to just censor yourself and let other peoples' imaginations do all the work. For example..."LifeOnAP****". There are enough hilarious five letter "P" words that I wouldn't want to narrow it down.

What if I took a lot of liberty with that one and called him LifeOnAnotherPlanet?

(I like LoaP, by the way).

You forgot "bcspacecase" and "bcspacedout".

"Daniel Peterson"]I agree that Denial Peterson isn't bad.

LOL, It is hilariously, deliriously apt, so fitting, I am speechless.

I think Peterson's referring to MarkK as Mark"kkk" is pathetic, but you know, whatever pleases him, I suppose.

I am tempted to sometimes call you "ThilentKid" because I like how Chloe says things, though she's growing out of her lisp. I have to enjoy it while I can. So, if I refer to you as ThK, you'll understand.

Oh sure.

On ZLMB my SN was shortened to "LSD" but I initiated that. Long story.

On this board, I've been called "Jersey Girl", "Jgirl" and "Joisey".

I don't think I'll post all the names I've been called.

I tend to shorten most posters SN's just because it saves time.

That reminds me of Unnecessarily Censored Sesame Street.

The censored one and Life...Planet are both pretty good (I must have missed the markkk one, I thought DCP said markkkk).
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!
