[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 3590181, member: 31216"] A friend and I were talking the other day about screen names, and how they might/can influence people's image of the person behind the name. So now I'm interested to know your opinion -- does a person's screen name on the Web build expectation of a particular personality or attitude? Can a screen name influence how you read a post by the poster? For instance, I'm curious to know what you expect from someone with the screen name "Bullgrit". What does "Bullgrit" lead you to think and expect? I'm not a prolific poster here, but I'm a regular reader (nearly every day), so you probably don't know anything about me other than my screen name. Based on my screen name, do you get a thought on my age, my personality, my appearance? Even if you understand and admit that there is really nothing real you can know about someone from a screen name, does an "image" come to mind for the name "Bullgrit"? Feel free to use this thread to ask what people think of you based on your own screen name. How much thought did you put into your screen name? Did you pick your screen name intentionally to influence how people would think of you? Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
