>Hello Peterson
This is completely off topic, but this has happened several times to me with people from southwest Asia, and it bothers me enough that I want to ask, why do you use this form of address?
My name is "Kent Peterson". Kent is the personal name, Peterson is the family name. To address a man solely by his family name, without the "Mister", is appropriate in a situation where you are his clear superior in a clear and strict hierarchy, such as the military- it implies superiority. Between two strangers, that form of address is really somewhat insulting - it gets a "just who do you think you are" reaction. Either "Mr. Peterson" (formal) or "Kent" (informal) would be fine (and in fact the internet generally lends itself to informality).
It just instantly gets my back up to be talked to that way, and I don't think that's the intended reaction, but as I said it has happened with multiple people from that part of the world.
Anyway, thank you both for the advice, you've confirmed what I was pretty sure of already. Going to talk to our devs some more.
