Call people what they want to be called is a rule I try to live by. Even if I think a name or title is ridiculous, silly or what have you, stuff like that is important to people, names and titles are a part of our identity, and we should respect one another enough to roll with it even if we don't care for it. (Of course, this goes out the window when playfully tormenting a loved one).
I worked as a reporter once and this is exactly the behavior I followed to corruption. Everyone in town was terrified to speak but eventually we blew open an enormous embezzlement case. UGA and Kirby just painted a giant target on their backs. They could've simply discredited the article and managed it. That they didn't is hubris of the highest order. Unfortunately, it will probably be a while before it catches up but it eventually will catch up.
Yeah. I wanted to be called Papa and he made the executive decision to coin me PawPaw! That was my grandfather and I can’t live up to it. But it’s easier to enunciate with attitude, I guess.My wife goes by Gigi and they decided to call me Paw Z. You find out you most likely go by whatever THEY come up with.
