PW, I had a similar situation. Someone didn't like something in my profile and called SI to complain. It was really an innocent situation, but I changed it for the same reason you changed yours.

On my profile, there's a link to a 'Wise SI member', which takes anyone clicking it to their own profile. Originally, I had the same link with 'Biggest Idiot on SI' as the title. This guy clicks the 'Idiot' link, gets his own profile, and feels insulted. The guy's blood boils for a while, then gets SI to change his handle. With his new handle, he clicks the same link and gets his new profile. Now he's really pissed, and thinks I'm stalking him through cyberspace too. He contacts his lawyer and starts posting his threats. I explain to him how the link works and he's still mad. (Probably with himself by now) So I changed the link title to something complementary -- now he thinks he's an OK person, I suppose. Oh, my, that is hysterically funny! I remember the first time I fell for that...TLC was probably the culprit <g>. I can't believe that the guy didn't figure it out! ROFL! I don't mean to laugh hysterically at your expense...it must have been awful for you at the time. But thanks for sharing the chuckle with us now that you're able to look back at it and laugh..... }=>-------->>>>
