Of course they should, having worked in London previously if you went about there insisting people call you whatever, you'd be mercilessly derided and heckled by colleagues. Here it's seen as legitimate to go about forcing your notions onto others. Elsewhere, the community forces it's notions onto you.
- numpad0 2y agoThis isn't about "call you whatever", this is about family names. They were likely born as a Null between a Null and a Null. Null is a valid Irish surname long before NULL was a type. "I go by throatwobbler mangrove" part compounds on it only if they decide to do so.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoWhere is "here"? You are still exhibiting that harmful attitude. I know plenty of British people who are not so daft - most of them in fact, so I don't believe your supposition that it is a common attitude. And even if it was, that's never a justification.
- Simon_O_Rourke 2y agoHow can it be harmful? "I want everyone to call me ABC123!" "No, will you ever knock it off Bob" The majority of people outside the coastal tech bubble would simply tell anyone making this kind of demand to catch themselves on. There's not enough of the community reining in this kind of hubristic nonsense.
