Ann, Doc is a guy. His name says to me he's secure in his own self-worth and doesn't mind laughing at himself. He even invites us to laugh along with him. I like that about him. You're right. Women are not likely to adopt names implying "dumb." Most women don't choose a handle to make a statement about who they are. But a few of us who do, are likely to choose bad girl names, such as raunchydog or "Pussy Riot." It's an in your face way of saying "We are women, we will not be censored, deal with it." "Pussy Riot" is a Russian feminist punk-rock band based in Moscow. They got into trouble with the Russian government recently for protesting Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Three women in the group were charged with hooliganism. They are now serving two years in prison. Thank goodness Rick and Alex have minimum rules for censorship. It keeps the place lively. I've been following the "Pussy Riot" story.
