Cornflower, I fail to see the problem with using 'septic as a name for antiseptic. It is, after all, merely a shortening of his online name, which is done by many on this site.

What is your problem with that?
Maybe I will call you flower from now on, and you can call me suze?

As for 'little man', well you must be a very sensitive flower indeed!
Especially given the lovely comment I was replying to.

Maybe, as some posters have suggested above, it is not the male posters we should be looking out for.

suzeonline,

There is no doubt those nicks are chosen with malice aforethought, to humiliate and bully.

What prevents you from using the person's chosen name? That you choose to do differently says more about you than them.

Cornflower <" There is no doubt those nicks are chosen with malice aforethought, to humiliate and bully."

Ok, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Maybe you would like to take the time to read back on 'septics posts and see all the bullying he has done to me and others?

Calling him 'septic has never seemed to bother him, so why does it bother you?

Just ignore me if you are that sensitive.

suzeonline,

Since you appear to have lost your memory, the background was that you thought that you were being bullied by use of the acronym HTFU. Yet you are oblivious to the bullying implied by your offensive name-calling. That is why I said six of one, half a dozen of the other, the meaning of which is obvious.

However, regardless of whether you have a thick skin or not, you are wrong to think that all forum members are gifted (sic) with a similar insensitivity.

suzeonline, "Maybe, as some posters have suggested above, it is not the male posters we should be looking out for."

It that the whistle for the pack and something I should be concerned about? Mobbing is nasty and not uncommon on some forums, but lets not have it here, huh?

As I said before Cornflower, just ignore me.

I am not going to change just because you read something into my posts that isn't there.

Your problem, not mine.

I enjoy OLO and still feel that women are made welcome in the main.
Have a good day.

Suzie, I wouldn't worry about police officer Cornyflower.

You've been very polite in even replying to those provocations. I get grumped at frequently too - but no bloke ever will you know. Cornyflower lives in pathological fear of feminists or anyone who even vaguely resembles one. Terribly uninformed about feminism, but nevermind.

I think Corny is a bloke btw; though some have wondered if he/she is
Antiseptic'c mum.

Which would explain a few issues I guess:)
