How much do they influence you when someone sends you an email?
I never really thought about it much, except for the overly sexual screen names. But I just had an email from someone that I immediately didn't trust. And I realized it was all because of his choice for his screen name. And it wasn't sexual at all. It made me wonder how much it influences other people. |

Does my screen name immediately evoke distrust and paranoia?

Some names do make me think twice before contacting/responding to them. As you said, some of the overtly sexual ones get ignored or reported (depending how bad it is). If one just strikes me the wrong way I tend to wait and see what they are like, if they post in the forums. Could be just an old nickname or a lack of originality.

It gave the impression that the person was involved in something illegal. It really rubbed me the wrong way.

Then better off that you just let it go, in my opinion.

I normally don't reply to people with ' 420 ' in their name.
