The man is a fool.

'nuff said really.

If a poster prefers to be called by their exact id name

they should choose one that is not too long

or accept abbreviations. common forum etiquette.

i didn't mention any banned ids.

i mentioned ones that i have seen abbreviated.

[cherry*135]

Some abbreviations of banned posters ID's.

Fact is posters choose their own id names (long or short) and should be referred to their exact id name if that is what they prefer.

I shortened my id name from amethyst because people got me confused with azureline's id (not azureline the person)

Not all shortening of id names is done for friendly reasons.

Anyway back to .. the man is a fool....

they were pretty obvious and the denials

were quite funny.   anyway, as you say -

back to the topic.

What's wrong with boris? It's not too long and flows easier when typing.

wonder if he will repeat this

http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/nov/14/tony-abbott-says-australia-nothing-but-bush-befor...

The prime minister tells an audience of business leaders that Australia was 'nothing but bush' before the British arrived. Tony Abbott said for the British who arrived in 1788 'everything would have seemed so extraordinarily basic and raw'

So how do you think the convicts would have seen it when they first arrived?

They would have seen people when they arrived.
