...I think that altering the spelling of a word defining a concept in
order to illustrate the limitations of its significance [especially
in a text-based medium of exchange when symbolic construction assumes
so much more weight] and deliberately baiting someone by calling them
by a wrong name are wholly different. So no dice. If you misspell my
name then I shall act as if we are, in fact, in a coffee shop, having
a discussion, and you have called me Stan [which is not my name
either]. I will simply not respond.
