Since I missed the beginning of this 'rant'... let me offer my airheaded half ducat's worth........
my camp name was/is ''shameless'' ::LOL::
why? because of a statement I made.
''hel, I have NO shame, I will ask anyone to sign my petition"
that petition was to make a spot in the state of colorado a wilderness area. I eventually happened, the eagles nest is forever closed to motorized vehicles.
That nick could have and has been taken in more than one way. Usually it gets corrected in right quick fashion and not by me. <G>
In my case, I do NOT tease people unless I like them..
for the most part nicknames usually come from something valid.
my dance name of Sabella (I do middle eastern dancing) was shortened by a BF to 'bella. Italian for 'beautiful woman'...
now he and i no longer speak and truth be told if he and I were
in a room together, HE would not come out alive. <BEG>
but the nick still sticks.
It is my own opinion, but not that of my evil twin skippy, that those who balk at affectionate or teasing or even earned nicknames, especially in this particular scenario... need to get a life. I
mean, if the nick were a nasty put down, well, yes, it might be offensive.
I have been involved with AMM and buckskinning since 1976, not once have I ever seen or heard of anyone give a nick that was done in a malicious manner meant to hurt.
HI Mike! now I am gonna go back to my lurking...
and I am glad to be 'home'... signed off whilst I made a move a yr ago..
lost the url... sigh...... well I _am_ a blonde..
