Sean O'malley Walkout Song
Dec 27, 2014sean (written "seán" or "séan" in irish) is a hibernization of the english name "john"; 18 sean is an irish name, and so follows a completely different set of rules. It denotes that the person (me) is doing something to that person (myself) and no other.
It's not correct to use a reflexive pronoun unless the recipient of the action is the person doing. You didn't know sean parker when you saw him -- you must have been sleeping all this while (you were unaware of developments related to sean parker). When you are using the word "dad" to refer to a specific person, it's standing in place of their name, and thus, like their name, would be capitalized.
The main difference between lying and not using a comma in "thanks, john", in your analogy, is that lying is a deliberate act of deception that often has negative consequences for the person being lied.
