This is hilarious.

In your fevered little mind.

It's the truth.

 GD> I didn't give myself the handle of "God Dan".

So what? Just because someone called you that doesn't mean it is your name.

So why should you care what others call Sauer?

That was then, this is now. No one calls you that anymore.

Talk about red herrings.

Sauer is a big boy, he should be able to take care of himself. Only a child
would get as upset as he does about his real first name.

Oh my, the co-mod is going to go against the mod? This ought to be fun.

You are a real piece of work, Danny.
