Why is there such issue over what I choose as my screen name? All I am doing with it is throwing back into your faces how you all have continually proven to percieve me.

Many people change their screen names. Does this belittlement apply to them as well?

I don't really care what your opinions are concerning me. They are as dust on the wind.

"It's Only me from Across the Sea" was self deprecating too.

I suspect you ought to register it though, otherwise people can impersonate you.

I wonder if you have thought that the gentler you are with yourself the gentler the world perceives you?

Do, please, take up the concept of an email account so people can reach you behind the scenes as well as in front.

Fine, now no one can impersonate the nonentity.

I don't see that in me.

An email account has been established. My nonexistance has been ratified.

"No one special" implies one of the crowd, indistinguoshable

"Nonentity" implies precisley that. That you do not exist.

These are not congruent.

So why do you criticise our messageboard friend?

What gets under my skin is that we are here because we have issues. We are as we are because of the issues we face or have faced. No-one has yet troubled to find out from NOS (hope you like that abbreviation!) why he is here or what his issues are. Or even if he's a boy or she's a girl.

No-one has wondered why NOS's comments are, well, blunt. Or if they have they have hit instead of parried. He may be a horrible person. He may be a great and wonderful person. He may be neither of the above.

But, because he is "blunt", he has been condemned as a jerk by some of you. Like I said, he may be. Or not. So find out. If he's a jerk, use learning about him to enrich your own life. If he's a great guy, use knowing him to enrich your own life. And in either case you may enrich his.

Not necessarily.

A nonentity can also reflect the tribes views and opinions to a member that has been shunned.

He is no longer a nondescript unit in the bushel.

He is the apple thrown away.
