If the word 'porn' were a bad word we would have edited it away long ago, wouldn't we?

This thread is just for fun to see what your names would be if you use these methods to create them. Some writers and actors (lets call them that, shall we?) like to give out books under a different name to protect their privacy. You might get crazed fans crowding outside you front door, or people might hate you and want to kill you. Also, if your book doesn't sell at all, that failure wouldn't be connected to you real name. If you read a rotten book by a writer, you probably wouldn't run to buy a new book by the same writer.

J.K Rowling was told not to use her full name because the publisher thought that the boys wouldn't buy a fantasy book by a female writer.

There are many reasons to use a pseudonym. Technically everybody on this site is using one; namely your nicknames.

He does not. Go read the post one more time. If you absolutely want to use the word porn, then go right ahead. Like I said, if the word itself was bad, we would have edited away long time ago. You do see why talking about porn is not appropriate on a family friendly website?

This is said with a calm, non-lecturing, normal voice btw. In case anyone thought I sounded angry or something.

Hi Amari’...I appreciate the qualifier that you aren't angry; it was getting hot in the room...you feisty woman you! I was really half joking with Grondy the first time, and then it all got so serious. Phew! (And I'm aware we all speak different languages and have different writing tones and styles and such...)

Just as an aside’I agree we shouldn’t talk about porn on the site (the visual representations), and I do know the many ways a pseudonym is used, but Connovar specifically asked about porn names. Of course, he could have been doing it just to see where it would go’shame on Connovar, for shame!

As for you Grev’if you drool on me, you have to pay the dry cleaning bill.

The free spiritness in California is so high, that the number of daily exorcisms keeps on increasing.

New Jersey? Isn't that the new volcanic island which rose out of the sea near Jersey (one of the Chunnel Islands) ?

No seriously! I've often seen these two females whispering in each other's ears and glancing and making nods at each other. Something is definitely afoot! We have to take em both and interrogate em one by one! We ought to know what is going on! Its our right by birth! Its our Right to Knowledge!

I deny all accusations of doing it for my enjoyment! I simply asked in my innocence for the definition in the hopes of expanding my knowledge! My reward was 'shame on connovar, for shame'. I think i need a tissue

Hang on a sec.... What was this thread about?

Mine would me Snitter Mountain.

Grev...you had it exactly right, I was referring to the free-spiritness of California, and actually yes to the interest in politics as well, San Francisco has a rather large background in protests (e.g. hippies).
