Dis? Dis? Who is Dis? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Ok, we've all seen lots of people changing their nicks, and the change sometimes is for worse... (Deathtongue? What was Tube thinking?).

But this one really intrigues me: Dissident, a classic, was reduced to a tasteless Dis. Dis? It's not even how we use to shorten his nick! We always use "Diss", not "Dis"! "Diss", you heard me?

I'm appalled.

To "dis" somebody is to show them disrespect. However, we never really respected him in the first place, so I, too, am confused.

It's a travesty. However now we can shorten it to just 'D'. When he changes it to just 'D', we can ignore him completely.

Furthermore Az is the name of a rather shabby hostel in Prague. It does have an advantage over most hostels in Prague in that it hasn't been trashed badly by Swedish youth from my home town earlier this year though...
