Frankly this is none of your business. I cannot recall jokus ever objecting to my failure to hit the space bar when typing his handle

And so when Roman soldiers pounded nails into Christ's hands, because He didn't complain, he didn't mind?

Trying to rise above such things doesn't do much good here, apparently.

For the sake of ending this, please call me "Joe" or Jo Kus". Or if the Religion Moderator doesn't mind, maybe I can change my name...

Thank you

For the record, just so we can understand what this confusion is about, what exactly is offensive about "jokus" as opposed to "jo kus?"

FWIW, I thought the "jo kus" stood for something like "Joe cusses" but you didn't want to be that obvious. (I'm being serious here; lest I be accused of sarcasm or bad form.)

Are you comparing your feelings about being referred to as jokus as somehow comparable to the feelings that Jesus felt when the soldiers drove spikes in his hands?

What, pray tell, is the difference between jo kus and jokus? I'd really like to know. I certainly don't know what jo kus stands from nor do I know why jokus would be somehow insulting to you.

Enlighten me. Is it somehow insulting to forget about the space bar. Nobody else seems to care what abbreviation of their name is given.

Is there something insulting about using the name jokus? If you can tell me what it is that actually insults you about a shortened version of your handle I might be a tad more sensitive to it.

But to compare your misery at being referred to as jokus instead of jo kus to the misery that the Lord felt when the soldiers pounded nails into hands is a bit meolodramatic and over the top, wouldn't you agree?
