You mean like saying ed instead of Ed? What about e.e. cummings?

Actually, I look at it as a form of disrespect towards
a platform that took advantage of an audience created
by the Newt and was ultimatly partly responsible for
it's untimely demise! Basically, there's not even
enough respect to even use it's name. Kinda like not
using capital letters when addressing someone! Sure
it's petty, but when in a revolution, it's the cause
that matters!
