Sounds like you got played by someone who KNOWS I hate that name and that it's a fast way to TICK me off. Who told you that I go by that name? They are not your friend...

if you cannot control your rage at the sound of a common nickname, you need to go get counseling.

Also, I'd suggest to Jim McDermott that he get an office manager who, you know ... manages his office and schedule... Instead of making up conspiracy theories about nicknames.
