I remember the person posting as Religion Moderator at the time made a big deal about it saying "resty means lazy and is offensive" and reprimanded a few who hadn't got the news...I don't recall restornu personally making a big deal about it.
Given the slurs often delivered by restornu to other FReepers, I thought it was a tempest in a tea pot.
I started calling Restornu by a pet name years ago..
I called her Resty for short as a friendly term..
Nothing derogatory was ever meant by the name..
we shorten FReeper names and nobody seems to mind..
I was wrong.
I searched for the thread before posting and couldn’t find it.
I said restornu objected, but she didn’t. I was a Religion Moderator. That’s why I said above “he [the Religion Moderator] made the request of his/her own doing.”
I was later able to find the thread and admit I was wrong.
Unless restornu herself objects to the nickname, I have nothing more to say except that I’m sorry for creating this mess.
(I had to look it up to be sure.)
But, to me, she's not THAT offensive...
Slurs??
Dirty pigs would probably LOVE to be hosed down!
However, when I discovered the term was a pejorative meaning "sluggish" I instructed posters to quit using it. Pejorative nicknames are not tolerable in religious debate.
