Why should I have to accept being called something I find derogatory? ormondbannerman
But maybe it isn't actually derogatory and you are just being overly precious about it. That seems to be the belief of everyone else on the topic. Your take on it doesn't automatically over rule everyone elses you know...
It was your decision to put your club or whatever else you listed into your username. A username will always get the same treatment as any other username, there are no special cases, and expecting (nigh on demanding) such is nonsense and going to get you nowhere. If you feel it is being disrespected - that is your own doing. Maybe you just picked a bad username if you cant take it being given, what is, standard username treatment. Why not get it changed like pomeroyplunkett did?
Either way you are definitely too precious about it. I recall you taking the hump with me for actually giving you your preferred title but accidentally spelling it ormand. Jesus like.
Text speak is disrespectful and rude in the context. Typos are mistakes. Calling me ormo isn't a typo as ive stated enough times that its offensive to me. You seem to be getting very aggressive with me choosing to call you up on this. Are things ok at home/work? What im stating is not that all shortened names are offensive but what they are shortened to can be offensive. Shorten ormondbannerman all you like but shorten it to 'ormond' not anything else.
"Shorten ormondbannerman all you like but shorten it to 'ormond' not anything else." So we can shorten it all we like, but only to the way you want it shortened?
Are you going to back up your claim that I was on my high horse over you shortening my username or have you given up on that claim?
Any specific reason why Ormo is offensive or is your reason just that you say it is? Maybe an explanation as to why the the collection of the four letters in that order is so heinous a collection might help your cause.

It's pretty much a 33% increase in efficiency by typing ormo instead of ormond. You'd want to have the same union reps as the luas drivers to be opposed to that.

Do you not realise how ridiculous that sounds? Why should I accept being called something I dislike and find offensive?

Did the plonker get his name changed right enough, did he move to Clare?? ffs ormo catch a grip will you....feel free to call me bump or bum even and I promise I wont get offended! bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts:1187 - 21/04/2016 15:54:3You do realise that isn't how things work? Muslims get offended by the prophet Muhammad being disrespected but Christians don't in any way to the same extent act the same if Jesus is portrayed differently. So you accepting being called something other than bumpernut does not mean its right for me to be called anything other than ormondbannerman or Ormond for short Things are great Ormo. Thanks for asking again! How tricks with you down in Clare, or is it Tipp? "Shorten ormondbannerman all you like but shorten it to 'ormond' not anything else."

Its disrespectful as Ormond is where Im from, my club is named after that area etc etc. I don't play rugby for the 'ormos' I play rugby for the 'ormond's'
I'm not going to let Ormo derail this thread with his pettiness. I see Sakho has had issues raised about doping today. I really think all sports are guilty of it. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts:2867 - 23/04/2016 13:43:06Call me Ormond and me "derailing" a thread stops.
