"The Rabbis, interpreting "Azazel" as "Azaz" (rugged), and "el" (strong), refer it to the rugged and rough mountain cliff from which the goat was cast down (Yoma 67b; Sifra, Aḥare, ii. 2; Targ. Yer. Lev. xiv. 10, and most medieval commentators).Most modern scholars, after having for some time indorsed the old view, have accepted the opinion mysteriously hinted at by Ibn Ezra and expressly stated by Naḥmanides to Lev. xvi. 8, that Azazel belongs to the class of "se'irim," goat-like demons, jinn haunting the desert, to which the Israelites were wont to offer sacrifice (Lev. xvii. 7 [A. V. "devils"]; compare "the roes and the hinds," Cant. ii. 7, iii. 5, by which Sulamith administers an oath to the daughters of Jerusalem. The critics were probably thinking of a Roman faun).""A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

"Spiffor" is a derivation, because Spiff is way too common. I'm quite proud of the derivation (as I'm the only one in the world to use it), but it still isn't the real thing."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

It's perfectly true. I strated playing LAN with a "Spiff" nickname (from Calvin & Hobbes), and my nick is actually "Spiff" on the forum of my LAN friends.
"Spiffor" is a derivation, because Spiff is way too common. I'm quite proud of the derivation (as I'm the only one in the world to use it), but it still isn't the real thing.
Irrelevant.
SPIFFOR is your apolyton nickname and that's it. I mean, My LAN nickname is Dr.Dre, but who gives a ****?

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.
