etiquette i made up in my own brain that i for some reason observe religiously
"OP": equivalent to ma'am/sir. polite form of address for a stranger when referring to their post.
"[platform] user [username]" e.g. tumblr user corviiids: equivalent to Mr/Ms/Mx. polite, full title, used when talking to or about someone i don't know very well (or a friend, for emphasis).
"[name] [username]" e.g. rook corviiids: equivalent to a full name. addressing someone i know but am not really friends with. a polite amount of distance and regard.
"[name]": i know names are there to be used but calling someone i don't know by their name is a horrifically inappropriate intimacy akin to ogling their bare ankle under the hem of their skirt.
