 the male dancer
written by Tom             on 28.05. at 02:41:32 - as answer to: New to forum!!! by Balletboy at>I have just come across this forum. I guess the topics get a little hot around here.I live in the northeast. I have been dancing, since I was 13.I have always used the nickname balletboy.I see that there is already a balletboy.But since the name is not copyrighted, I can use it.From what I read the old balletboy is retired for awhile. When he comes back, we will see. A compromise I guess. I hope this doesn't come across as too preachy...but, you know,it's just common courtesy to use a name that isn't a duplicateof someone else's. No, Balletboy doesn't have a copyright on hisname (as far as I know), or anything enforceable...but, after all,he shouldn't need that. There's no point in causing avoidable unpleasantness... As far as I know, I'm the only Tom who hangs out around here. Myname has always been Tom, just as you have always used Balletboy.But if anyone objected, I'd be willing to call myself Tom2 withoutany fuss. It would be the civilized thing to do.
