Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[deepbluesee]

You can wear a name tag all you like, but that doesn't require others to refer to you by it.

Guess that is true but if I met someone with a name tag they had chosen I would show courtesy/decency to refer to them by that name, not something that suited me as I am too lazy, confused or set in my ways to use the name/label they asked for/prefer.

I'd call it common human decency to call you John, or Dr John or whatever you prefer.

Darcy has, I think, has informed us very politely and without much fuss of their situation and I'll do my best to follow what they have asked. And yes, I'm bound to get it wrong at times.
