Of course it's excluding people. As soon as you start saying, "Yes George, I agree", you're excluding everybody who doesn't know who George is from the conversation. So I take Blink's point.

 

Thankyou

 

 

Erm, but Blink that wasn't the point you were trying to make in your original post. You suggested people use realmames to :

 

show off how popular and "in" they are, cos they know someone's real name.

 

which, quite frankly, is a load of old pants

 

first one to call blink by his real name wins a prize!!!

well you could say the same then FTB, if i was to post a reply up & use creamyc rather than Kev!! what difference is there.....Creamyc/kev either one used in your opinion will be excluding everyone then???

 

Eh? everyone on this board knows CreamyC as CreamyC, cos that is his username. If you don't know who CreamyC is, then you can use the search function to find CreamyC, so using CreamyC isn't excluding anyone!

No, I was querying why people used real names, and that was the only reason I could think of.
