You're being rational. Most people aren't.

And, from my view, I'm sorry but my world revolves around me. What I call myself is IMPORTANT. What refers to ME is IMPORTANT. I can put up with people making mistakes, but I get seriously offended if they choose not to get it right.

Okay, I try to reciprocate that - I use your choice of name when referring to you, I use your choice of pronoun (if it doesn't grate too much with me), etc etc. I would be (and am) insulted by people not using my choice of name, therefore it's only right I should use your choice.

(But not least, it's important because if you don't refer to me on my terms, how am I supposed to know you're referring to me? :-)

Cheers,
Wol
