  • Soccerman handle is wrong

    Admins., I don't think soccerman should be able to use soccerman as his handle. It's deceptively similar to soccermom, a Lanham Act violation. I don't like being misled even for a second into thinking that soccermom has turned into a jerk.

    I agree. I will contact him.

      Maybe he could put a space between the words, or captialize Man, or somethign small, just so it looks different on the page.

        I would not object to that.

            In fairness to soccerman, his handle is not capitalized like that of Soccermom. That makes it pretty easy to distinguish between the two, IMO.

              If you don't ignore Avatars, there is no question. That box thing triggers my video-induced seizures and should be banned immediately for health reasons.

                agreed. I have him on ignore till then. It triggers a headache for me. I don't know whether he is a jerk or not.

                  After the Vikings win the Super Bowl and Brett Favre has his weeks of ESPN coverage, I will return to my Gwyneth avatar. Perhaps that will minimize confusion. I would hate for anyone to mistakenly think that I am a jerk.

                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      Yikes, at least you aren't acting like a roll of toilet paper, when you use an easily confusable name to one of the better people on the board.

                        I am looking forward to Gwyneth's return.

                            Why has this been handled in such an open and shut fashion? I propose that Soccermom and soccerman engage in a soccer-related skills test to prove which of the two is more deserving of the moniker.

                            Passing, dribbling, and juggling will all be fair game in the skills test.

                            If, at the end of the skills test, there is a tie, the tie breaker will be a series of exultant jersey removals, choreographed by each person. The most creative exultant jersey removal will be declared the winner.

                            The winner will have the choice to assume posting as either "Soccermom" or "soccerman."

                            The loser will be required to re-register under a different moniker if he or she wishes to continue to post here. If the loser fails to re-register, he or she may continue to lurk. There is no registration requirement to lurk.
                            Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
