MetaFilter

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Posted a question on Ask during a painful time in my marriage, was insulted and ridiculed by the commenters. Posted another (kitchen related) question on Ask, most of the commenters clearly did not read the question before replying. Posted on the green, post removed, mods don't bother to contact me and explain why. Logged in to see if there were any comments and it was just... gone.

Thanks Metafilter, but that was shit, I'd like my five bucks back.
