Sure. I'll explain why I did it though. I do not think it's your name. That spelling is used in the English and French speaking countries. You are not a native English speaker and I do not believe you are from the francophonie either; or you would have been open about your background.

If my assumption is incorrect; feel free to explain the real circumstances!
In the meantime, I pay no respect to comments from somebody who is set to be a "ghost" while everyone else is debating with open cards.

My conclusion is that your nickname is not based on your real name — hence the quotation marks.

It would not bother me if somebody put quotes around my nickname; why should it?

-------------------------------------------------------
There was nothing rude about the above mark: It is an honest and politely phrased response to a comment directed at me, from a member who consistently joins every thread I start, or participate in. He expresses strong sentiments and views without ever explaining his own interest, or the source of his statement.

I find this situation frustrating.

If my response is removed, I will be offended.

I don't ask anybody here to "open their cards". If they do so, it's their deliberate choice and I just respect it. Just the same way, I expect my choice on that matter (not to reveal my personal information) to be respected too. I don't see how it could be a problem for anyone, except those planning to use that information to do malicious stuff. And honestly, nobody besides you on this forum has ever requested this information in a way that would make me worry.

Now, if I say it's my name, would I be expecting anyone saying s/he doesn't believe it's my name? Obviously, not! Making assumptions (faulty, mostly) about someone and doubting any fact about him like you do is at the very least impolite. I would expect that kind of behavior from someone who is 10-12 y.o., but from what you said about yourself, you're 3 times as old. So, please stop that primitive trolling - there are plenty of ways to smash your opponent's arguments in a debate, other than reducing to mocking their name.
