[Opinions] Re: Where are you from? nt

I'm from Sweden.
Maybe it's just me but I usually look at a poster's profile before replying if I know that what we are discussing could be something that varies from country to country (or culture.)
I think it was pretty clear that I'm from a country where nicknames and the original full names are no longer associated with each other and if she then replies by telling me that I'm wrong I think she either didn't really read my reply or just doesn't acknowledge that things could be different elsewhere.
Or maybe I'm overreacting...
