Aww man, now I can't call you Rad Barn anymore!
Or simply Red for that matter!

First, I can still be the Rad Barn. Second, to let out a little secret I've never liked the shorthand Red, ever since some random guy said it was gay when your sister referred to me as Red in an in-game chat message lol.

Nope it doesn't.
As the story goes -- I was 14 at the time and had just downloaded a copy of the Quake1 Demo, and it was fun -- even on my 14.4 modem running over AOL. I was browsing around some quake sites when I came across this really cheesy site... black background, grey text, animated skull GIF images with blinking red eyes.. I was immediately hooked. A lengthy email later I had applied to join Clan of the Camper. But I needed a name! ARGH!
I have always been into air combat and was always fascinated by the story of the Red Baron -- so it was the easiest to choose as my new handle.
Fast forward a couple years, Red Baron is leading CotC's second legion into battle and having a blast -- The Camping Canucks they were called. I found my own handle to be lacking... unique-ness, heh. But when youre leading a legion and everyone knows you by that handle its difficult to change. So I took the space out -- RedBaron[CotC], and swallowed any ill feelings toward my handle.
Fast forward some more, Asswoop changes to AW, to BD, back to AW... aCe changes to FLiTz... It seems evident that it is possible to make changes.
I have conceded that I've been RedBaron for 10 years and changing now wouldnt feel right -- for you guys or myself, even now I look at just Baron and feel odd. However, I can't stand being called Red anymore lol. I've just outgrown it, I was 14 when I chose it, I'm almost 24 now -- I just need to make this small adjustment that I hope you all can live with.

adds to the clap...
Heh no problem with the name. I will do me best to make sure the Baron handle is used, but if I err with the Red handle in the midst of battle I appologize ahead of time. heh.

Is that what BD stood for... never knew that
And Baron, wasn't a small part of you changing names have to do with the fact that we were trying to get your name to have all the colors in CoD or CoD2 but it ended up being too long and wouldn't work? Hmmm
