Didn't see it until too late

I'm too lazy to PM everyone who may have been involved in this, so I'll say it here and you may lock it whenever you wish. I only occasionally jump into Help Desk to read and so missed it while it was happening.

My asking a poster to use "Bon" if he chose to use my RL name was a personal preference of mine. My family and friends all use "Bon". I prefer it to Bonnie, although I answer to both, same as I prefer Ms. to Mrs., but don't get bent-out-of-shape if someone prefers the latter. Chacun à son goût.

His refusing to do so, while rude (and expected, I suppose) is nothing to me. My real name is public and has been since I came online. If people think that they can get a rise out of me by using it or using it improperly, it will have as much effect as calling me T'Bitch, T'Cunt, T'what-the-hell-ever does.

Doesn't ruffle me. Therefore nothing needed to be done and no drama needed.

I got over someone misusing my name when I was in Kindergarten or First Grade and someone found a way to mock my last name. Then as now, most it does is bring a smile if I find it amusing.

If it floats his boat to call me Bonnie, whatever. It's a pretty tame way of trying to get my goat and the most it does is make me shake my head over the folly of it.

I can handle KIRK1ADM. No need for assistance, if he irks me enough to respond, I'll swat him myself.

^That's what I figured, which is why I made it a two-part question.
