The fact you consider this forum tall baffles me.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #10 on:** 24 Apr 2013, 15:40 »

6 foot + IS tall. I'm one of the taller people I know, in many situations I'm the tallest. Hell, when I went to CES I was slightly taller than average.

Thrillho · « **Reply #11 on:** 24 Apr 2013, 15:54 »

I'm not even the tallest person in my family.

meh, the whole gender thing is less important to me. Most people assume I'm a guy from my writing style. I'm not sure why.

I have a habit of making some really inaccurate mental images of people I meet online.

They're very often disappointed that they're not as cool as I think they are when I say what I actually think....

Well in that case you don't need to worry. I'm even cooler than you probably think so this won't be a problem.

How so? I don't mean to offend anybody with this, I'm just generally curious.

This forum tries to be ~~especially friendly towards~~ straightforwardly even-handed with* those for whom simple-minded binary gender doesn't work; that said, the question is not posed as a binary choice, so I guess people can either answer with the detail they choose or just ignore the survey if they prefer.

* Wording updated to avoid implication of favouritism.

That way to pronounce my nick messes with my brain.

Then I shall keep it up =D

pwhodges · « **Reply #34 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 02:29 »

The line between light banter and causing offence can be rather gray; I suggest we take care over each other's feelings...

ChaoSera · « **Reply #35 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 02:32 »

Don't worry, it's pretty much impossible to offend me.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #36 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 02:41 »

Hey, if they can call me Primo then I can call him Kyocera.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #37 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 02:44 »

I was wondering, where did the Primo thing come from anyway?

Those worked out OK - it might not always is all I'm saying.

Gareth said my picture (from the photos topic) reminded him of a Latin American wrestler. I forget his name, but his nickname is Primo. He started calling me that. It caught on.

Got it. It's easier to type (and pronounce, for that matter) as mtmerrick anyway. I like things that are easy to type.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #43 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 03:23 »

You can just call me mtm if you want. Most people I know online (except from this forum, clearly) call me that. It's even simpler than primo.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #44 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 03:27 »

True, but I like the sound of Primo better.

It's the face of the angel Sachiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion:

ChaoSera · « **Reply #47 on:** 25 Apr 2013, 03:48 »

Fair enough. I always thought Evangelion was a strange show, but that might just be me not being into anime in general.
On the other hand it's one of the few animes I didn't think was straight down bad...
