BKM used to do the third person referral all the time - still kind of miss that. He called it the "bracketed action convention".
The "/me such-and-such" convention is still pretty popular, though - still trying to get a handle on it personally because it always feels a little strange...kind of out of body...

Cho thinks Brad is just envious that he hasn't enough self-worth to refer to himself in the third person in a semi-snooty, high brow manner, such as Cho is able to do. Cho is well aware of her great and significant worth.
Mwa ha ha.
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go
/me does not know what Felon is talking about, me has no problem typing this way, me just think of meself as a dirty smelly gully dwarf and it comes naturally
/me hehehehehe
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you,
