Username!

Hi all a question for the moderators nothing serious. It has always puzzled me that new members who register have a NAS12345 type of user name.

Maybe a short term thing?

Just wondered how long it stays like that?

why the name they register with doesn't come up?

I didn't notice when I joined if my username was there or a number.

like in the popular series"The Prisoner" "I am not a number".we are not robots or commodities (or are we;)?he he he.

thank you.

  • You have not been lazy, you are communicating functionally and stunningly well if you are doing it all from an IPhone. I love it that here I can drop the self destructive perfectionism. It's more important to say the thing than nit pick it for spelling and grammatical errors. You're all good Misfit, for no fathomable reason you've been in the firing line when offering nothing but helpfulness.

    I did surprisingly get that bit! But mine is usually not too bad I have just been too lazy to correct everything as I have typed especially as this keyboard is so small! Pure laziness! 

  • Hey missy my comment was general about grammar certainly not aimed at you.I just chuck a full stop if I run out of breather when typing,..,!!) (/&£.

    I have dyslexia so any suggestion by anyone about my grammar is going to get my anger.

    In fact my iPad makes me seem clever as it corrects all my spelling and even sorts the full stops out ha ha. I also get to read its fore I most sew them is gowd.  .

    I'm just exhausted continually getting it wrong and causing havoc wherever I am whilst trying to join in ( cyber and non-cyber). yes let everyone have a discussion and opinion but I keep Landing in the fire. Not been the best of weeks. I'm glad there are people who encompass everyone   try to see all points of view; that is only right. Yes my grammar in this post is awful! We are eager to write at the expense of grammatical structure and spelling! 

  • maybe "The Equaliser ". Turns up and defends those who are wronged but tries to be fair while pointing out the error of the wrong doer. 

  • Hi missy61 this is my post and therefore I give full permission to go off topic.I like the defender name. I just get overly angry at anyone who sees fit to undermine anyone.regardless of how they do it,for instance I am surprised nobody has started the old"would you please use correct punctuation"rant as it usually crops up.they would have a field day on here lol. I hate bullies and certain comments or polite suggestions to me are just mild bullying. I love this site and hope to stay here, I always try to see others perspective even if they persist in upsetting someone,BUT even I have a limit to intellectual bullying.

    Warrior =defender 

  • I quite like"carenottwo" has a ring about it,for instance "I care not two hoots if people don't know how to get things correct all the time".

    I might actually change mine as warrior sounds a bit to angry and antagonistic,quite wrong for me as I am a big softy and enjoy hugs(virtual ones). The lone bit works ok but having my wife keeps me sane,just about,not sure it keeps her sane?

  • Saw a good one the other day.....CandyCrushAga!

    lol You're fine as you are! "wornoutinthesticks " is not an option! 

  • Having followed the whole thread I am slightly torn on changing my name. There are many points about people not wanting things inferred from their user name etc. and I had given it no thought whatsoever. Now started actually looking at everyones names and seeing a plethora of interesting and cryptic handles. I'm going to do some research and soul searching on this!

    Just makes me shrink away then they get cross with that too. 

  • It certainly matters...and I am at a loss as well as to how I move forward with that...

  • I think families find it difficult to know how they should be to best support and they are not always mindful of how their words and actions can impact...with even the slightest of things

  • Hurrah, the Elephant has come out of hiding!  I think we all felt safer connecting to other females, but there is more that connects us than divides us with the males of this planet.  I don't think we should make divisions among ourselves but am probably being hopelessly naïve again.

    I get that too. It's ignored in every sense. I suppose one reason I wanted a diagnosis was because of that but it's almost worse now. I felt like I didn't fit, I found a reason I don't fit, I still don't fit.... Does it matter? Yes it still matters. So it's really hard if there is a family gathering or something I just squirm inside blundering on the outside. I haven't quite lost hope I'll get it right one day. I do have some lovely family by the way I expect it's just my perception. 

  • Well....my family (those who talk to me) don't mention the elephant even though they recognise that I'm not right in myself....and my husband does not even want to try and open that Pandora's box even though he he the only person (apart from you guys and my doctor) who knows about my self diagnosis...

    Elephants are lovely, beautiful, gracious creatures . They are caring and look after one another. With this explanation of Elephant you are definitely most wonderful to have in the room
