I never got the joke

[jay]

Regarding the style of including "evil" as a part of one's LJ name... having never gotten that particular joke, I find it to be a minor irritation. Past advice to me has been "if something online annoys or stresses you, don't read it." But I have no idea what I can reasonably do to avoid having to see this particular irritant in my inbox, coming from several others... other users can call themselves whatever they please, and it doesn't seem quite worth defriending and comment-banning the affected individuals. At least, the ones that I haven't already delisted for other reasons...

Yeah. I guess if it annoyed me much (beyond the very minor irritation I feel at not knowing which "evil" person is which), I would just shrug it off, because it doesn't feel like anything that really concerns me. I suppose you could use mail filters to send anything with "evil" in the From: line to the bit bin. :-)

If you're referring to the specific usernames I believe you are (although I could of course be wrong), my observations would lead me to believe it's a particular in-joke. If you don't get the reference in my username, you obviously haven't been watching enough "Star Trek", Mr. Pop-Culture-Impaired. ;) If my username bothers you enough that you're going to filter it, I'd appreciate it if you'd at least tell me that's what's going on so that I don't have any expectations that you would have seen any of my comments in email.
