You will keep using unkind variants of our Mudcat names / handles / nicknames.

The Snail uses that name as a fun reference to the Magic Roundabout character who has the same name (Bryan).

Richard uses his own name but you don't seem to be able to use it.

I use the handle I do because I felt people who know me would recognize the headgear.

If you think the nicknames are daft/silly/stupid or whatever you could always use our proper names - which we have not tried to conceal

As I said here earlier, it's not what you say (the point you are making) it's the way you choose to say it.
