Seriously, Mike is just short for Michael and it's shorter to type. I really don't see why that would disrespect or underestimate him. If I had to type Michael everytime I had to refer to him, my fingers would have shorten double as hard.

It's also shorter than Mike.
It's just a name,shortened or not...I understand and respect your point but honestly it's each to their own,I call him Michael,Souza calls him Mike...his mom calls him Michael, Teddy,Eddie Murphy,Brett Ratner 50cent etc all call him Mikewe're all on about the same guy it's not disrespecting him,it's personal preference =]I just looked back to see how this all came about and it's over the white rabbit twitter person who really is just a big hoax/MJ believer and is really quite irrelevant to this.This is about the 5alive dodo/updates etc he isn't called Mike or Michael,so can we just say each to their own on the name thing and move back to the island and drink juice? :mrgreen:
Quote from: "fordtocarr"Quote from: "Cameron"Quote from: "PureLove"Quote from: "anewfan"Man, this hoax has really made me skeptical of everything. :lol: That is so true.Quote from: "anewfan" So, a non-American who calls Michael Jackson "Mike". Some of the believer friends of mine and some other fans also call him Mike. I personally do not like calling him Mike. I mean we're not close friends with him, so why calling him like that.It's because Michael is very popular, is a part of everybody, Michael is part of our culture, life, etc... So he looks close to us. And, because Michael is so in our hearts he's family to us. He is inside our souls. That's why we are not just fans, we are FANily )You guys are writing things like I said Michael is not in our hearts or souls etc. Pls do not twist the words. He is not your best friend and to call him Mike sounds like you are despising him, underestimating him. It's a disrespect to call him Mike like you are his 30 year long term close friend. It sounds weird to call him Mike. That's what I'm saying. And Cameron you used Michael instead of Mike as you see. If you feel so comfortable with using Mike then go ahead and use it, why keep on using Michael? And you will have a chance to show that Michael is so popular, a part of everybody!!! And lastly, to call him Mike doesn't make us a family. It doesn't make us feel closer to Michael. There're other ways to show that you love him other than calling him Mike.

Don't think "Mike" is disrespectfull, it's the diminutive of Michael, just that. My friends call me with a diminutive and it's not disrespectfull.
Who is eating who?
I did suggest many posts back we all chill on the island and drink juice cocktails...that's where I am anyway lol.This thread is not about anyone's name.It's for the one who calls himself dodo and has an iphone,travels the globe and has an unhealthy obsession with MJ...last time I checked soooo can that be the end of it please?There shouldn't be anyone eating anyone else alive =]
Pure Love - I was also going to post that Paul McCartney's nickname is Macca. Could Macca be Paul McCartney?
