Question to those who have gone to DU meet ups |
|
Do you call each other by your user names or real names?

What happens when people who get into flame wars meet each other? Anyone come to blows, throw beer, etc...?

5. Haven't had that experience |
|
but I have had extreme disagreements with some of the people I've met on some subjects. There was one guy I met wherein we had had some disagreements...it wasn't uncomfortable...now I also have to say..there are people on this site I wouldn't want to meet and therefore, I would be less likely to attend were they going to an event.

7. Skinner and Earlg asked why I called them by their DU names and... |
|
..not by their real names.
I had to point out that if I said Dave there were 3 people in the room that would respond since they both have the same name AND GOPisEvil was also with us that day.

12. Where are they announced? In the lounge? I usually hang out in |
|
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 02:30 AM by Clarkie1
GDP but it is much more laid-back and peaceful here.
This is the first time I've visited the lounge. A refreshing change.

15. Nope, I haven't done that. |

Except for one person whose name is well known and often uses her real name here on DU.
