... but you're kind of pet names don't bother me at all. :)

Professionally or in normal conversation - doesn't matter which - pet names when used as a tool to condescend are the ones that annoy me! Its usually obvious when this is being done because of the context. Eg. in debates etc....Actually someone on QL is a good example hehe i won't name him or I will get earbashed with long-winded replies, huns, dears and God only knows what else LOL!
