Will you address somebody while you responded a discussion in mylot?

I tend to use the person's username nonetheless unless I am told to use their real name or feel comfortable with using their real name. Usually it will take a while of them responding, commenting or discussing with their signature being their name for me to even start using their real name. I have friends here that I know personally, my husband for instance, and I'll usually just say "hon" or "baby" or something like that.... or use his username when referring to him... but I won't use his real name.

hi,there.I'd like named u as sasa if u wish. Pretty cute post I think. In fact,I will do that to somebody that important or special in some aspect to me. I assum that is normal between friend,and seems more friendly and colser.

I do exactly like you. There are members who use their real names or sign off with their real names, those people I address by their names. Or maybe some have become good friends with me and I know their real names…those people too, I address by their names

NO..I will not ..The reason is that I will not see the user name of the discussion starters or respondents in most of the cases..If we see their user name, and also if they are having good relationship with us in various on line activities, we may not be able to express our own views regarding the discussion issue, particularly if it is against their view..Because, I want to point my views strongly, what ever it may be..So I am not seeing the members...And hence, I will not be able to start my response or comment with their user name..But in some cases, some of the members used to make their responses under another responses..In that case, I will refer their user name while leaving some comments.

Hi sasalove, I will always start a response by addressing the person either by their user name or their name. If I haven't come across someone before it will be their user name. If it's someone I see regularly and they have a long user name I'll abbreviate it. There are quite a few I address by name though as we are in and out of each others discussions a lot.

Hi sasalove, a different name is a good thing. Surely my name is not 'allknowing' (lol) But it does seem odd when we address members with their IDs which are not their real names. A the same time it does give a touch of friendliness and informality here.Some are so long that it kind of sounds funny but I suppose one can shorten them while addressing. I do address sometimes not as a rule but as an exception, whenever I am in a mood to do so. I have done it this time. Saw? (lol)

I only known 2 person real names here and the other is my referral. Whenever i reply to their discussion I use to address them with their real names and although i like to use their real names they would not like me to do so. As they are very keen with their own privacy. Thus, I respect their rights and prefer to address them with their user names. While,others insert their real names in replying to a discussion. Though, i address them with their name signature.

I Don't mind using my real name (which is Alyssa) but I rarely do. I don't really care if people on the internet know it, because it doesn't make me uncomfortable and I don't think it's a safety issue at all (after all - how many people in the world are named Alyssa? Millions I would assume). I don't sign it after each post, though, because that would honestly take forever! I'm fine with people referring to me by my username. Whichever. I think it's nice when people refer to you using your name or username - it's a nice, personal touch.

I don't really address a person when I am responding to a discussion. I don't really see much point in doing it. I guess it would be courteous if I started a reply that way. It's funny because some of the time they spell my name wrong. lol.

Hi sasalove: I have noticed that people do this and i used to address themselves by their names in this case. Even with that i don't find it that important. I'm starsailover in the eworld, period. Lol. XD. My real name's Alvaro, i love my name but my nick is special to me, it shows my love to one of my favorite underrated bands in the whole world: starsailor and that i'd love to know them one day. Thanks for posting.

4 of my real friends on the mylot now,since they all know my mylot name,i needn't sign my name.

hi, sasalove, everyone has his own privacy. after all, internet is not real enough. few people is just cheat others online. in my opinion, we don't need to use our real names, because it doesn't matter whether it is a real name or a pseudonym one, name is only a symbol for us. for me, if he is kind, sincere, and want to be a friend of me, we will develop a friendship, i will address him.

i dont think it would not be proper to name any real names unless both partys new each other or if someone had a post so good someone important had to find a way to get a hold of them....

As I get to know more people in mylot I would use their name it shows respect for that person and you know that person has put some thought behind what they are saying rather than just commenting to earn money. But for me I have to get to know what people are like before I use their name.

I do not necessarily address a respondent to a discussion directly, not unless i can clearly decipher their names or if it were of importance. However, it is a great way of building intimate relationships and forging true friendships among other members of the site.

Actually I don't address the person while I respond to a discussion. Not because I'm rude but because I often forget :P. But I usually don't forget to put a Happy Mylotting at the end. Happy Mylotting!
