I'm guessing it was an unwarrented attempt at familiarity.

I don't usually comment on this stuff, but that's how I took it. She seemed to be trying to re-frame away from "How's that? Get away from me." into a mode where communication could actually happen. Successful? Apparently not. She has been here 3 years and has over 2k posts, she may have thought she had enough rapport with forum to go with a nickname for Roger.

:shrug:

It's a he.

Is it? I thought they'd mentioned a "GrandpaSmith" a time or two.

Does anyone have a nickname for Roger, other than "Mad Bastard"?

I believe it's been stated a few times that the only person he lets call him "Rog" must be someone he's having sex with.

This is fact.  I don't get pissed when friends call me "Rog", but if I notice it I usually correct them.

Unless they're willing to get funky.  In which case, you know...

Is getting funky with Roger contraindicated in people who currently have Nigel's dick up their ass?

Entirely possible.  My once-traplike memory has eroded in my infirm old age.  It's like in Flowers for Algernon.

I hope not, since EVERYONE has Nigel's dick up their arse, and I'd like to get laid once in a while.

Even "asshole" is okay.

I just don't like diminuatives of my name.  And "Rogie" was deliberately condescending.

Yeah. "Rog" might be an accidental misstep while trying  to be conciliatory, but "Rogie" would be like someone calling me "Niggie". Or Telarus "Tellie". It's the equivalent of calling someone "boy".

Someone calling you "Niggie" would have a lot more problems than condescension.

Is "hipster" a bad name?

It is to me. I considered it one of the most offensive insults. I lump it with sterilized fun. Rock N Roll with no BALLS!

I like that.  Not sure I entirely agree, but I like it.

grannylein, in german at least :)

Roger, i guess we have different views of what is friendly or what not, and of what is acceptable or what not. unlike you, i don't mind being called nicknames, and in my cultures this is totally acceptable, even from strangers. also unlike you apparently, i don't like being called neither hipster nor shiteye or whatever that was, and I don't make a scene. anyway, that nickname calling and kiss sending was a failed attempt on switching the note from screaming to friendly, and maybe even have a conversation in the end, but oh well.  :wave:

Well, just a heads-up; most Americans do NOT like being called by nicknames or diminutives by people tehy aren;t close to, particularly during an argumentative conversation.
