[Ali Baba]

My forum name is the name of the first custom I made. That is all. I only use it here.

[WarriorOfToys]

  what do you mean?

I beleive he means that Socrates (the soccer player)
Was originally named after Socrates the physician.

So in a way, Socrate's avatar was named after the Greek physician.

Socrates was a philosopher, not a physician! Hippocrates was a physician!

[socrates]

Socrates was a philosopher, not a physician! Hippocrates was a physician!

   But next to the fact that obviously socrates was a philosohper not a physician, WoT got me completely right. I expect the soccer players parents to have thought on the philosopher when they named their son socrates. And thus, around three edges my avatar is named also after the philosopher.
(...taken aside the fact that soccer is written on his chest.  )

best,
socrates

Thanks Wolf Knight!

perhaps because klickus named him this way and i corrected him as well a few post before!!!!
 

And all this time, I thought you named yourself after the ancient Greek physician.

That is correct.  I was rightly corrected several posts ago and apologize for my error.  I had my ancient Greeks confused, not having ever studied Greek philosophers.   

So let's put this to an end now:

SOCRATES WAS AN ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER, NOT A PHYSICIAN!  END OF DISCUSSION!  (But our Playmofriend known as Socrates was NOT named after the ancient Greek!)

There!     Okay.  Let's move on...

  Can you imagine the confussion when, and if, playmobil issues ancient greek sets? 

But yes let's move on! I chose Wolf Knight because at the time I joined playmofriends I was fascinated with the latest six wolf knights!!! I bought 10 of each and made various customs out of them...

Nowadays, there are times when I wish I have kept an old user name from another forum... it held more meaning for me and more sentimentality... but hey, new begginings need new tools!!!

Wolf Knight now means for me a new beggining!!!

This is quite correct. I am whether a philosopher nor a physician, but I am doing research in physics and physiology! 
(sorry, I couldn't resist...  )
