Yes, I give them nicknames. Three from the political forum are Panty Sniffer, Soros Poster, and Sleazy Punk. Those all came from their personal infatuations.

Sometimes other posters come up with nicknames and I just use those. My favorite that came from users was Octotroll.

When someone asks you if a poster of one thread is the same as one in another thread, you will often make comments that indicate you may have been following the poster's postings for some period of time, i.e. you will mention that the person has started similar threads. When you do that, do you give that poster a nick name for your own amusement based on the themes of the posts?
