I apologise about Navl_027 pugman, he is a Filipino and Filipino can't really avoid calling other people usually strangers a "Sir". It's a way of respecting other people here and we Filipino are used to it. Actually I was also like Navl_027 before who repeatedly call anyone Sir/Ma'am, but someone scared me that I can get Negative Trust for calling anyone Sir or Ma'am Grin

Sorry for the off-topic OP.

You should stop apologizing too Tongue

. You don't have to apologize for him, nor does he have to apologize. My post was just a mocking way to show how things are done here. I wasn't mad at him.

I called you sir because I only want to show respect especially to a high-ranked member like you, that's all. I'm not aware that you don't want to be called that way, I'm sorry.

People respect me here? WOW. Its all too funny.

Anyhoo, here's out it goes: If you respect someone, you don't have to call them by "Sir"/"Ma'am". Its good thing that you respect people, but in forums, people get irritated by those words, and here's why: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3081595.msg31783432#msg31783432

And, don't apologize for using a particular word, makes you look weak(in forums). Don't combine your IRL lingo with forum lingo. Also, rank doesn't matter, not even a bit.

ALSO, people have usernames(which can be assumed as nickname) here, so you don't want to call someone with a nickname with Sir or Maam. The words Sir, or Maam usually come out due to the age difference aspects. Don't think like that, just assume that all of us here are dumbass nerds sitting in their mom's basements, spending hours on trying to improve a spamfest forum, and live with a family that doesn't understand how bitcoin works.

Sometimes when I'm addressing someone, I use mr/mrs or using @username.

You don't have to use Mr/Mrs either. Just call everyone a stupid fucker, or as TMAN says, a stink nugget.
