View Full Version : is my gamertag offensive?

some dweeb on the xbox.com forums posted that I was playing H3 with his little brother today (which I was obviously not) , and that he was very offended by my GT...lol... a few people in the past have scratched that surface a couple of times as well....
I took the necessary actions by asking a few higher ups if this was a problem and noone ever said it was an issue...I just thought it was a little weird...I'm not really concerned (and I would easily change my tag if I was "asked" to)..but I just thought it was an interesting topic...
any feedback/input? ....

I personally don't find it offensive. I think the society we live in is just too over-sensitive.

I think a lot worse could be out there... I wouldn't worry to much, just thinking people will give you a hard time saying your an Irishprik and as long as you can handle that. As for the 4-1-1, thanks for clearing that up. I was afraid we had another 410 IrishPriks out there now. :)
The worse I got, was in CoD4, someone kept calling me Rick Perry for killing him. I don't want to be compared to the Gov! :)

Personally, I don't find it offensive. I have also seen a lot worse out there. I agree with others when they say that some are just a bit too overly sensitive.

I agree with what everyone has said. Your name is fine, but this is an over-sensitive society. In my opinion, you shouldn't change it.
BTW, being an Irish chick, I think my opinion should count for a lot!

I was going to ask if April 11th is your birthday,but I see it's not.It's mine though :)
I don't find your name offensive.Our 8 year old plays every afternoon & he will ask if someones name is bad.If he was playing with you...which I would hope not for your sake...he talks non-stop...I would tell him to just call you Irish.
