Now that I re-read it.....  "that doesn't mean that I don't like having my name 
mangled"  reduces to "I like having my name mangled".  :-)

Such as "just because I didn't want any ice cream doesn't mean I don't like ice 
cream."

FWIW, I answer to "Ed", "Edward", "Eddie", "Edy" (Don't ask),  "エド", "爱德华", and 
"Hey You". 

Sorry for the OT'ness.  Just thought this rather amusing.
