I get what you’re saying, but imagine your name was Richard Branson. You’d hear no end to the jokes. At what point can you consider this an internalized behavior of the author? Is it still clickbait if the author believes his main raison d’etre is to have a meme name?
- jeffparsons 3y agoI think I basically agree with you. And this example is pretty benign — I'm not actually meaning to criticize anyone here. However I will not that the author in question refers to himself as "Rick Branson", and the article title is "10 Things I Hate About PostgreSQL". So I think it's just the person who made the link who is being a bit cheeky. My comment was going off on a wild tangent. :)
- mst 3y agoThey may have simply been intending to be relatively formal as a mark of respect. (there's enough language and culture dependencies in how one decides such things that 'may' is very much load bearing in that sentence, mind) Certainly it wouldn't've occurred to me to think it was the businessman rather than a name collision. But, eh, agreed on tangent, and I'm not intending to criticise either.
