Tully,
For the record, my full name is Mark Edward Heuring. But you can call me Mr. D if you prefer.
And most of the time, when I was called by my full name, I was about to get punished. Which is precisely what Leo was justifiably doing to the junior senator from Illinois.
Richard Milhaus Nixon
George W. Bush...
Ronald Wilson Reagan...
John S. McCain,
Barack Hussein Obama
Leo John Pusateri, Jr., here.
Is using a middle name derogatory?
His middle name is his middle name.
O'Bammy? Name calling? Perhaps.
Hussein? Nope.
I'm curious, Leo, why aren't we calling you by your middle name?
Because you aren't calling yourself by your middle name? Because you didn't choose your middle name, and common decency and respect demands that we call you by what you wish to be called?
It's just a name, and it is really isn't worth the time I'm now using to discuss it- but neither is it worth your while to allow a name to direct your view of a man's virtue. Please- leave that to the kindergarteners, and do not reduce the arguments of your capable mind to such childishness!
(this is to say nothing of your main argument, which I have taken care to set aside from the issue of name-calling)
