why have our star names changed? [Merged]

Timmne

*test* to see what new name I have!


Edit: Still Stalwart although I'm too much of a peasant to know what one of them is...

This is a perfect example of someone being frightened to death of offending someone who has nothing better to do than dream up these spurious and imagined 'insults'. I expect the whinger works somewhere in the 'equality and diversity' industry. :rolleyes:

Truly, and literally, political correctness gone MAD! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

The terms 'nerd' and 'geek' are far more insulting and disparaging. MrsS administers a large e-mail system for a huge local authority, with many thousands of users. When I mentioned this she informed me that 'geek' (which you now call me) is an insult which is actually filtered out by the system she administers. The definition she gave me was along the lines of an earlier poster, and I am now more annoyed than before. What have us regular users done to upset you and to deserve this lack of respect? You may be a SuperGeek but I'm not!

oooooo the irony

You are not infallible, Martin. You have got this badly wrong. Why not just put your hands up to it, do the decent thing and put it right?[/quote]


I'm really sorry and i know i'll get leapt on for saying this but isn't that just a little bit excessive regarding what was i'm sure intended as a light hearted name change. Do you really think martin or mse towers intended for this to get so out of hand?

I said that it was mad to change the names as people may be offended, but making the poor guy sound like the equivalent of a raving fraudster i can understand his frustration! :mad:
I'm sure MSE intended the name changes to be light hearted and didn't realise it would be taken badly, they have rectified the situation and hopefully thats the end of it, but lets put this in the real world, it's a user name, it's not as if martin gave a money saving tip and lost people thousands now is it. now that WOULD be bad!:eek:
