I don't see why GankedToast would get hate from expressing his experience about the matter. He didn't assume that Alex was just Alex, he was saying that people shouldn't assume that every Alex isn't an Alexander, which I can totally understand as quite often people keep incorrectly adding "-son" to the end of my surname for no reason. Sure it isn't the same thing, but the principle applies, assuming that the person who knows their name rather well made the mistake and typoed/has their name longer.
