    It is your interpretation that having a nickname implies cult membership

    That’s OP’s claim. My interpretation is that he gave Simon the nickname out of affection not domination

      That’s OP’s claim.

      No it’s not.

      OP’s claim is that cults give nicknames. Not that all entities that give nicknames are cults.

      But your second statement makes me realize that you likely have an inherent bias that is preventing you from seeing the logic involved.
