Why Me needs to be stoned

Rachael Blackgaard · Post by **Rachael Blackgaard** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 12:04 pm

Has anyone else noted how often people are having to clarify what they mean when they refer to themselves as 'me'? They have to say, 'Myself, not Me the user' or something similar. A perfect example: I think Me the user needs to be stoned, not that I myself need that.

That's why I think we ought to petition to have Me's name changed. There are plenty of good, un-reflexive pronoun inducing usernames out there. For instance:

Ne

Mee

Meep

Beep

Sheep

Baa

Laa

Tea

Mee

See?

I'm only half kidding here, people. Who else will sign my petition?

Shoo! Go away, Top! You're going to make the mods move this to Hillingdale... ;-)

I'd rather not, thank you very much.

I don't think so, Top.

Rachael, if Me changed his name, the joke potential on this board would be cut in half, if not even more so!

Life would not be the same for me. (Me as in Catspaw, not the user Me).

(See?! That's was fun! We need to keep Me just the way he is!)

Nope, nope, nope. It makes things too confusing.

Usually that's done as a joke; if it's not capitalized I think it's obvious the person isn't refering to Me.

But I'm all for adding another e on his name; that way his posts can be looked up.

The whole "Me, not the user" thing does get a bit annoying.

However, I highly doubt that he'll change his name.

Someone should stone NateTheGreat for using the sentence of "You guys crack me up" too many times!

*quits smriking*

In all seriousness (really this time), I'm in favor of a name change because it has been confusing when people will IM myself saying "Me posted in the _____ thread" and I assume they're just talking in third person, so I hunt for their posts and don't find it.......

*goes back to laughing so hard at this thread that she falls out of her chair* (Seriousness doesn't last long with me.....as in gimp80995)

Peace Out

It's very simple to tell the difference.

Me < capitalized is a proper name. That would obviously refer to the user Me.

me < lower case, used to refer to the person who is doing the writing.

Unless we have a huge problem with one word posts where the only word is "me". I don't see the problem.

Stoning is fun though. So if we do that, I'm in.

However in IM convos when someone starts the sentance with "Me", it's hard to tell if they're talking in third person, and capitalized the M cuz of the beginning of the sentance........

Well, if you're talking to someone who doesn't use proper capitalization, it's a bit different. You won't be able to tell either way.

How often does a person start a sentance with "ME" when talking about themselves? Anyway, it doesn't ever confuse me . . .

Yeah as long as people capitalize his name as a proper name then there isn't any problem... although like Jonathan said it would be kind of nice for post searching ability, so I could stalk Me for accurately...

Ooo, I fully support anything that increases the ease of stalking Me! $\:D/$ Perhaps I should recant my earlier position.
