Okay, so that wasn't the best opening on my part. I apologize.
I do feel that you are overreacting. To say that I am narrow-minded, intolerant and disrespectful other culture just because I think that most people would recognize a nickname is going a bit far. "Where I'm from . . ." doesn't necessarily indicate another culture (You could just be from Wisconsin or something) so I didn't feel the need to check. A simple "That's how it is in Sweden" would have been enough and I would have accepted that.

•That's the thing: None of us have options. If it were left up to you, would you have chosen Lindsey for yourself? nt · Schezar · 5/28/2009, 1:38 PM
