Retired Colonel Is Tried in U.S. As Spy for KGB

[Leningorsk]

Is it impossible for you to grant a small gesture of polite regard to me? I never chastise or upbraid anyone for calling me Lennie or Lenin, if that is what you thought. It is common courteousy for one to call another aquintance by the name they prefer. I am not Lenin, I am not a communist leader.
And it is common SENSE that would compel someone not to add the 'Glorious' part to my signature. It is ALSO common sense not to include the clever monkey part of Mr. Mastodon's. If I complained and told you to add the 'Glorious' part, you might. I wouldn't have minded even if you tacked the 'Glorious' part on really. I never knew it was a standard rule that one must be called by their username. If I encounter any more ornery people like you who seem so bothered by a small inconvenience to be polite and humor another person, perhaps I will change it. But no one else seemed to mind that I wanted not to be referred to by my user name. You are the only one so far to seem so bothered by this.

You have misread my meaning completely... Sorry for giving advise, it was KINDLY meant.

[Leningorsk]

Well, I missed the part about meaning it in a nice or helping way. It sounded quite hostile to me, but if you did not mean it that way, let's just put this behind us, shall we? No since carrying on into futility.

Sorry to have called you "Lennie"......

[Leningorsk]

No harm done. I am sorry for putting up a fight about what I am to be called.
