    Just a quick heads up - my username has been changed from The Atheist!
    And no - my convictions have not changed along with it. :D

    (Dades is what many know me as in Real Life™)

    This thread will self destruct in a day or two!

    Exactly why I wanted a change... :)

    The Atheist and Agnostic forum has lost its atheist!

    Sad to see that username go, but you're the boss.

    Yes, it's a bit confining, I suppose. Still, it gives me a peculiar and inexplicable sense of loss, for which I imagine there is a German term.

    I disapprove.

    Firstly because change not instituted by myself upsets and confuses me.

    Secondly because I'm not sure how to pronounce your new name: Day-days, Dad-ees, Daydes...

    Soon he will change it to The_Dadaist and he will have fooled us all. One step at a time.

    I pronounce it daydes. Because it sounds cool.

    Just done a quick check - and all atheists are present and accounted for... :D
    Congrats to Tar for (I think) getting the pronunciation right. Think of Dades, as in McDaids!

    Scoff - the German term that usually comes to mind first is schadenfreude, but that can't be right...

    Teutonically,
    Dades

    Yeah, when I read it I thought your second name must be McDaid.

    I had presumed it was pronounced 'The Des' (a sort of dublinese shorthand for Desmond) ... which by any standards would have been a resoundingly depressing crash from 'The Atheist'.

    Also, despite your clarification that DADES rhymes with, or in fact is the same as, the second syllable in McDaids (!!!!) I refuse to be forced into associating your name with TDs who drive down motorways the wrong way while pissed. I will therefore, pronounce your name as rhyming with 'Hades' ... far more satisfying with just a wicked hint of hellish provocation in it.

    Totally acceptable!

    Daisy eh? I suppose I could do worse than be called after my feisty, late grandmother (gender difference aside).

    well, whatever about 'daisy', first time I saw 'dades', I put the stress on 'dad' and ended up with something that rhymes with 'gladys'...
