If you are an Internet Person and spend any time at all on the Internet you have no doubt watched people who disagree with you belittle your name, purposefully miss spell it or make it into another set of words which in very unbecoming of any sense of professionalism.

Now then if you remember back in grade school or kindergarten that kids would make fun of other people’s names. Well this is a lot like that actually and when you consider how similar it makes you wonder about the human race doesn’t it? I mean what we see is some childish behavior indeed. Unfortunately if this has happened to you it probably makes you a little disgruntled or frustrated, yet consider that it happens all the time online. Recently on an Internet Forum a gentleman who would not use his name made fun of mine. So, in the spirit of debate I called him on it, perhaps this might be a good technique for you to use;

“Well Frenchy, it seems rather attacking to purposely miss spell someone's name, just another liberal style attack on free speech.”

He was criticizing my comments about the worthlessness of Lawyers, how they were everywhere and even ran our government and then I preceded with my comments without missing a beat;

“You know these types of friendly conversations go on everywhere in the US. At construction sites, coffee shops, churches, businesses, in line at the DMV, you see this is what people really think and talk about just because it is online, Frenchy does not mean it isn't relevant. Politicians must understand where they stand and what we citizens will put up with before voting their butts out of office. It is good because our nation is free and when the policy maker's computer scanning systems run across this they realize they are pushing the envelope on their own tenure. You see? So, it is not a bad thing to discuss reality as Americans. If you disagree, hey Frenchy that is your thing, but calling people names is silly, that is a personal attack. The liberal lie is to tell everyone what they cannot do. But in doing so the tell everyone what "to do" that is to say talk like them in political correctness and view the world the way they do. And while all this hypocrisy is taking place They claim integrity, well it simply isn't so.”

You know what happened next? He actually apologized online on the forum. I have now done this over 30 times and so far I get an apology 40% of the time. So next time this happens to you, well try it; after all what have you got to lose? Consider this in 2006.
