Ok, there's is a pretty big misunderstanding here. Someone didn't simply come in and suggest a name tag saying "F*ck you, my name is..." just for kicks. That would indeed be tacky.
It was an insider joke based on a heated discussion that occurred on this board a few months ago. Seriously, that's all it was. The tag would be for the humor of the people on the board involved in the discussion or that were aware of it. The whole thing got blown out of proportion.
Now, when you take a step back and look at it from an outsider's point of view - they don't know about the joke, so on the surface it does indeed appear tacky and distasteful, which then makes it understandable to rethink the "joking name tag" thing for the benefit of those like "Wkdchylde" who weren't aware of the inside joke.

And while there is no insider joke connotation to this idea, it's certainly one that everyone can appreciate instead of a select few.

Ironically, since I'm not there this year, I would not wear one.
and Next Year, I am changing my name to open parentheses-elipses-close parentheses

Maybe a bring your own approach? The bulletin board would be a great refresher for folks who have previously attended and are already somewhat familiar with names/faces.
However, as a newbie, Id be more likely to recognize folks early on in the festivities if they were wearing a screen name/avatar on a badge or nametag rather than trying to figure out whether or not the person sitting behind me is *really* the one I saw in the photograph.
It usually takes me a little while to remember faces. One of my more embarrassing moments was several years ago, when I was leaving an event for work that had valet parking. Near the valet station, a guy held out his hand and said hello. I handed him my valet ticket. He said, um no Im so-and-so (Ive since blocked out the name). We met a couple of weeks ago?
Oops.
Maybe for my benefit, y'all could just wear tags that say, "I'm NOT the valet"?

...and here's where it all went wrong.
Then Pellaz posted in reponse to my post.
So, I appologize for my post, that inspired the twisted mind of Pellaz to hatch such a hideous idea, and am duly ashamed. Though, I must point out that I am only an accessory to this, an innocent by-stander if you will, he...Pellaz, is the real criminal here and should be punished, forthwith.
