Is putting "for Pon Paul" in my email account name too corny?

[flybeech]

Now, whenever somebody gets an email from me, it is from "(my name) for Ron Paul".

That isn't being too corny, is it?

[PauliticsPolitics]

As long as you spell Ron Paul correctly, I think it's a fine idea.

[PastaRocket848]

It's a little over-the-top, but as they say, "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!".

[flybeech]

Yikes! I spelled Ron Paul wrong toady!

[silk30]

I don't think so, not at all. My xbox360 gamertag is RonPaulCOTC..or RonPaulChampionoftheConstitution. I've gotten to the point where I no longer care if I'm seen as corny, cultish, extremist, radical, or corny. I want this country back on track, I want everyone's liberties back, so that means I want the constitution and therefore RP. Hell, I might create a new email account just so I can have RonPaul displaying proudly. Rock on bud! OURPLAN = RONPAUL :)

At least I manged to spell his name correctly in my email accounts. :o

If you will be using the email account for any kind of business, then no, I would not do it, in those instances that would be quite tacky.

I would not even take you seriously if you were a potential hire, client, etc-and I support the man.

Well, I do use my email for business, but I sell rare aircraft parts, so I'm sorta the only game in town. :)

That's different, as you have a (relatively) small market/clients.

It just comes across as unprofessional to me, like alG0rian@...or Bu$hthaMuzlimK1lla@...

Hmmm^ I dont know why that highlighted as a link, maybe a real email address, lmao

Might be better if it read:
PON PAUL - PESTOPE AMEPICA NOW

That's one way to get rid of the "R" problem.

Fixed.

And yes, it is, unless you never use the email address to talk to people who aren't familiar with you.

What is it with you two and your shrimpy sized prawns!

I'll do that TOADY!

I can cover parts for the Executive Beechcrafts, but if you need any phase inspections, structural repairs, flight controls or mods on your Airliner, gimme a call TOADY! :toady:

The only thing is if you ever EVER plan to use your email to let your hair down and be politically incorrect or trash someone. Because if you do, it will be an email 'from a Ron Paul supporter'. Unless you planned on only using that email for Ron Paul supporter stuff, you might want to think twice about that, but obviously it is your email.

I avoid trashing anyone and never do from my email. Most of my correspondence is pretty boring.

I wouldn't include anything about politics in your email address.

[The Free Hornet]

If you have gmail, you can use "+" addressing to support Pon Paul. E.g.,

jbenton+pon_paul4president@gmail.com.

The real address is "jbenton@gmail.com", the "+(anything)" is a valid email address that redirects to the main one.


The "plus" method of addressing lets you add additional words to your account name (the "left side" of your email address.) For example, if your email address is "amitshahc@gmail.com", you could add "+office" when you give your email address to members of a club to which you belong. So, your email address would now be "amitshahc+office@gmail.com". But why would you want to do this? Think of the "plus" word as an extra "keyword" or "tag" that you can use to better manage your messages. source (http://www.toolnext.com/2008/04/gmail-how-to-use-plus-sign-for.html)

Best of all, your coworkers or potential employers do not need to see this and all your email still goes to the same account.**

Sorry to not be posting pictures of prawns. I ate too many cocktail shrimp this weekend.

** And if they background check you and discover your Ron Paul leanings, I think most private sector employers would get a woody over this (and you weren't "in your face" about it). If you are in public education or the defense industry, not so much.

Meh, that depends on what you normally use your email for. If it is for business or if you normally engage in hateful speech/writings, then you probably would not want anything political in the email addy. Otherwise, I do not see a problem with it at all.

[flybeech]

I never write anything anywhere that My 12 year old daughter couldn't read. Hateful speech or vulgarities are things I avoid.
