| Apr 1, 2014 at 7:31 | comment | added | user2705620 | YEAH!!! i totally agree to AVID @Bohemian i really hope this settles your problems with my name. | |
| Mar 27, 2014 at 10:13 | comment | added | AviD | What I find offensive is this inane digging into users' personal information, the source of his name, his family tree.... Enough already. Not everyone in the entire world has names that conform to your culture or expectations. If he claims it's his real name, have a little bit of trust here. And even if it's not - so what? He didn't call you a bad name. If he called himself @SomeRandomShmuck, how is that possibly offensive? This is the Internet. If you can't stand someone calling himself a vaguely "bad" word, I have some bad news for you about this Internet-thing.... | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 6:11 | comment | added | user2705620 | i and my mother adopted my fathers last name as a result of their marriage and i do not think any wrong thing in that, i guess you already know how marriage changes the name of the wife and their children. | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 6:07 | comment | added | user2705620 | @Bohemian should i really tell you the History of our family and the names of my parents?, "O" is the First Letter of my mothers Maiden Name, Le is my fathers Last Name. They have different nationality, and i became their link on having different worlds(Nationality as they live in different country and met in another one), that's why they called me Assh. | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 6:01 | comment | added | Bohemian Mod | @AsshO.Le OK that explains the "Assh", what about the "O. Le"? | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 5:49 | comment | added | user2705620 | @Bohemian and i also hope that my explanation above ends your nuking about my name. | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 5:38 | comment | added | user2705620 | @Bohemian Assh, pronounced as Ash was derived by my mother from Yggdrasil Tree (world tree if you know Norse Myth) in which is a kind of Ash Tree. well Yggdrasil links the worlds in Norse Myth in which for my mother, i Linked the different worlds of my Father and my Mother by having me. | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 2:59 | comment | added | Bohemian Mod | @AsshO.Le Hello! So, what is the meaning of your name? I'm really interested to know! | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 2:54 | comment | added | user2705620 | @Bohemian well if you spell it together, in which you shouldn't be. | |

| Oct 21, 2013 at 18:48 | comment | added | Pekka | I, for one, find Assh O. Le completely acceptable, even though it's clearly aiming to be offensive. What's wrong with Mike Hunt, though? (Edit: ahh I see) | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 18:04 | comment | added | user206222 | You know, Korea got back at us for those ridiculous names. Cap'n Kent Parker Wright... | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 15:53 | comment | added | gen_Eric | @JeffGohlke: Glad I wasn't the only one with that problem. I was thinking the exact same thing! | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 15:43 | comment | added | asteri | I actually read this for the first five minutes as it being a syllabic spelling of "Ashley" and had no idea why it was offensive. I guess I'm not in tune with the douchebaggery this morning. o.O | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 15:34 | comment | added | James | To be fair to @Bohemian's cause , even Google recognises it. Put the user name into a search :P google.co.uk/#q=Assh+O.+Le | |

| Oct 21, 2013 at 15:08 | comment | added | Bohemian | @NullPoiиteя but the letters together spell Asshole, which is offensive. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 14:41 | comment | added | NullPoiиteя | in India Ash pronunciations is same as Assh is quite common nick name so I dont think its offensive ... | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 14:06 | comment | added | James | @Bohemian Your father-in-law tells you names from government files for a laugh? Glad to here our data is secure.. as always. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:50 | comment | added | BoltClock's a Unicorn Mod | @Bohemian: But then how do we know you're not actually a wombat? Because I'm definitely a unicorn. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:44 | comment | added | John Dvorak | TIL it's not a bear | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:43 | comment | added | Bohemian | @ŁukaszL. If you saw my real photo I think you'd agree that a wombat is less offensive. Besides - wombats are cute! | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:42 | comment | added | BoltClock's a Unicorn Mod | @Johnny Bones: Speaking of Asian names, there was this guy who changed his display name to a direct insult at me. While it wasn't a pun on an English-language slur, it was in a dialect that I happened to understand. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:38 | comment | added | Johnny Bones | Not quite as crafty as those Asian pilots who died in a plane crash a few months ago (theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/07/…), but not bad either. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:33 | comment | added | John Dvorak | OK... upvoted, not neccessarily good. His top voted answer is kinda fishy IMO: stackoverflow.com/a/18485244/499214 | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:31 | comment | added | John Dvorak | But he does have good answers. 200 rep worth of, to be exact | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:30 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | The user, in my eyes, befits his pseudonym. It is clearly intended to troll. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:30 | comment | added | Cjxcz Odjcayrwl | @Bohemian and I don't think it's YOUR photo in your profile. What should we do about it? ^^ | |

| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:26 | comment | added | John Dvorak | note must be taken, however, that more than half of this guy's rep is from edits | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:24 | comment | added | Bohemian | I don't believe it's his real name. But my father in law works for a government agency and has seen on file man by the name of "Long Phat Kok" (no joking), so such things can happen - Ill add that to the question actually | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:23 | comment | added | Qantas 94 Heavy | I would expect a 93 year old that claims to have the brains to know about Stack Overflow and using the internet properly to have correct grammar, but maybe that's just stereotypical. | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:22 | comment | added | Bart | As he claims it is @JanDvorak. :) | |
| Oct 21, 2013 at 13:21 | comment | added | John Dvorak | What shall you do if it's his real name? | |
