I have a protocol question. This place is so dang friendly and so many folks know each other personally, either from shows or dealing with each other in sales, I was wondering...... Is is acceptable to call someone by their first name (because you know it from reading it so many time here) even if you have never met them ? I ususally don't like to, unless we've met.... but sometimes it just seems weird to write Vintage Comics instead of Roy ..... or NearMint instead of Jeff .....even though I've never met either of you two in person.

 

What a y'all think ? :popcorn:

 

I've been called much worse than Vintage Comics!

 

I'll use my best judgement and use whatever name fits the occasion although dork seems to work best around here.

I like to make nicknames out of usernames. Like finghus for seanfingh. Of course, I've taken to calling everyone "knucklehead" in their birthday threads. I usually onlt use a person's real name if we've done business and/or met in person.

There are so many people that call me "Fingh" "finghus" "Fingh-a-ling," that i answer to it now. I had someone ask me at a show whether Fingh was Irish, like it was my real last name. lol

I wish my boardie friends and acquaintances would use my name, nearly all of them call me "chrome" or "chrom" (shrug)

 

Cretella often refers to you as his "little Belgian waffle."

I never turn my back on Cretella, I suggest you do the same (why does my spellchecker keep changing "Cretella" into "Nutella" (shrug) )
