Oh Damn and Blast! I agree with Mither again (save in one respect, namely that I can think of a number of posters for whom I feel no respect, and a number of others about whom I respect nothing save for their ability effectively to use Google to support their prejudices).

I think there is much to be said in favour of a disrespectful nickname, and it is very different from the sort of abuse that used to be disseminated by Gargoyle and Martin Gibson and occasionally one other who I will not immediately name as I think he still posts here and was not quite so offensive. The beauty of a nickname lies in the accuracy with which it lampoons.
