MS bashes Gay(wood) Xbox Live gamer

@Richard Gaywood

I actually had this page of comments bookmarked to see if you'd get back and confirm.

Nice to see you're still about. You were consistently the 'preferred' lab guy when it came to answering questions for our group.

Conversations in our sessions always went something like:

"Couldn't do question 6, the example didn't work"

"Oh yeah that one. That Richard guy showed me what to do."

"Richard guy...?"

"Richard Gaywood, guy with the beard?"

"Oh him! Yeah he was busy though. By the way, bit mean, innit? I think he's alright."

"What do you mean?"

"You called him GAYwood"

"That's his name."

"No, it's GRAYwood."

I had to force them to slyly read your ID badge to convince them of it. Oh how the yoof of today have corrupted the language...

Unique name?

When I was a comsci student at Cardiff uni, we had a lab assistant guy/PhD student called Richard Gaywood, seems like everyone knows one....

But seriously I'm quite surprised that we're so sure that it's the 'Gay' but, if M$ are so bloody worried about it, they could have banned that name for:

1) 'Richard' [Rhyming slang - Richard III = 'Turd'].

2) 'wood' [a boner, natch].

Maximum stupid points.
