When you change the name you go by, it's a telling point on your character. Like when I switched from Daniel to "D2", a signficant part of my personality changed. That's how important names are.
Or, you know, it means you really didn't like the name you were given...or maybe you hang out with too many people in one crowd with that name, so a few of you decide to go by your middle name, and so it sticks...or a million reasons that might slightly reflect on your personality, but are actually very practical.
You know, for a guy that tells people you're friending them because you believe you can learn a lot from their writing, you sure seem to spend a lot of time telling those people why they're always wrong, and that since you're extremely egotistical it must mean that you're right.
Ever thought that "stupid people don't like being called stupid" might not apply to just everyone else here? We're all stupid in one way or another, but the only way we'll improve is if we admit it.
What would your sensei say about the response to this man's letter to you? Have you asked Him if you're overreacting? Sometimes it seems as though it's only his opinion that you would take over your own.
