I'm not sure why you've referred to Merc in the feminine Lamp. Seriously, Merc never asked anyone to call him her. That was what Ibby did and then cracked up cause some people either forgot or didn't get it or refused for various reasons. From what I recall, that was the main source of contention. Where most of the arguments began. People here were called all sorts of things for not doing as requested, the least of them being homophobic and bigoted.
