Please scroll back to the first of this month and see in the rules where I
talked about the "Otto Ruling"..

Here I will show you:

[Names] - The Otto Ruling

Aliases/assumed names, handles are forbidden.

The name selected by a echo participant that appears in the FROM field
in their messages is the name they are to be addressed by or referred
to. You can either use the first name, last name or the full name that
appears in the from field of the persons messages, but nothing else.

This ruling does not prohibit the attacking of the political positions
of an opponent so long as its understood that a persons name not be used
or mangled in such a way as to intimidate or provoke or constitute the
basis of an attack on the opponents position.

Calling one a "flaming liberal" or "stupid
conservative" does not rise
to the level of this ruling.

Just because a persons first name might have other diminutives such as
but not limited to:

Robert: Rob, Robby, Bob, Bobby
Daniel: Dan, Danny
Richard: Rick, Dick, Ricky

They are not fair game unless you obtain consent, but do not lose sight
of the fact that the name in the from field takes priority in the
absense of any consent.
