I was, Eric aka the punisher aka Frank and jaws are brothers, I'm sure of it.
Franks a good guy im cool with that.

I wont lie, that debate was stupid too lol.

I pick the dog if the person's a jerk, hes got enough time floundering around to answer some personality questions I think. First one: "Why can't you swim?"

It was a child not a person. Meh we all have our likes and dislikes

ok kolt, you are making way too much sense and being too logical. away from my lounge with that filth!

thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter your name can be just as offensive as the one you referred to. so if a black guy has a tumor, is the bigger the tumor the better? why would you choose that name? If you were choking on a bone, will a bigger bone be better? if someone broke into your home and attacked you with a machete, would a bigger machete be better?? your name,......i don't get it and it bothers me. i thought cheeseZ was cool. it's like he may be cheesy, but he owns it. and i can respect that

i didn't understand how the name bothered you until someone pointed out that it may be because you assumed it was a play at the name Jesus. before that, my best guess was that you felt like he was calling you cheesy or that the hobby was cheesy,.....lol, i was confused. when i saw the guy's name, I immediately read his name as "cheesy" and not "cheesus"

Thanks, bro. Appreciate the questions and your thoughts.

The origin of my screen name is trivial. As we are on an aquarist forum, the name reflects my taste in fish and, by necessity, fish tanks. But also that even the smallest of fish would appreciate the biggest of tanks.

No machetes, tumors, or bones in one's throat :D Good to know BTW. I truly am happy that you didn't associate the name with anything... aghem... let's say dirty but just plain silly :D

Does this suffice or should I still create a thread on what the community at large thinks of my name public appropriateness or interpret-ability? It'd be a bit self-centered and vain (as in hey, let's talk about me, me, me!) if I made up that thread. If you answer yes, I propose you make the thread. Deal?
 
I don't know about all of that but I will say that that guy from The Office is hilarious.

I feel like you miss the point I made and what I believe others are trying to point out. So I'll try approaching it from another way.

You point out how your name is a reflection on your taste in fish and fish tanks. And use the fact that we are on a aquarist forum seemingly implying as though it should be a logical conclusion yet you won't give MFK and it's logo the same kind of leeway.

There's no need for a poll on how your name might be construed because there is testimony here that it could be seen in multiple ways. Sumo interpreted it one way and even you knew it maybe interpreted another way as is stated in your response to Sumo. One I can attest to, regrettably which also testifies to my immaturity at times; initially interpreting as it being a phallic reference. Which I believe is the very interpretation you thought it maybe taken that you where referencing in your response as dirty/ silly.

You say MFK's logo is a company statement and is why you view it differently then your username. But isn't a username a statement? A person chooses it, and there are definite reasons for their choice. Such as how they want to be perceived. Isn't that the same kind of statement you're saying MFK's Logo is?

You also seem to believe CheeseZ username is a statement. So why does he bear the same responsibility you feel MFK does? But you seem to feel that you don't? At very least to the same degree as MFK which is the same level you're trying to apply to CheeseZ. While you feel your username is trivial. At least it's origin. This is despite the fact that you have become a well known member and may be seen as a role model. At least that's what one may construe from what you've posted thus far.

Who decides when and where such a responsibility begins and ends? When are people responsible for themselves and their own interpretations despite the intention of the poster or site?
