Marcus X claimed that usernames were not important, and that there were far more important things to worry about. Well I have an issue with two usernames, but understand others don't. However, a line must be drawn. What next, people using paedophile's names or childkillers ? Imagine somebody calling themselves Ian Huntley and using his picture as an avatar ? It is also unacceptable, IMO to have the names of mass murderers being used. Is that a reference to myself? Apologies if it offends you Gasbuster. Nothing was said when I signed up so I assumed it wasnt a problem but Id be perfectly happy to change my username if people think its inappropriate.

Son of Fred Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Is it "all in a name"??...or does perception play a sweaty hand-would the username 'Stalin' get to play on here???.... I would hope not-but half the world are stood to just waiting for the opportunity to be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 An interesting debate. So, what are the terrible consequences of someone being "offended"? It's all subjective anyway. Would "Bomber Harris" be acceptable as a username? Is there an age limit for mass murders i.e. Fred West not acceptable, Genghis Khan acceptable?

Enola Gay, you may really just like OMITD rather than WMDs. I agree where to draw the line is impossible, I think in this case the poster was 'trying' to be offensive. I think intention is almost more important than words used. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the name of the pilots mother, my guess, based on the existence of said pilot would suggest she was not, or at least hid it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's on gaschat and still active. Funnily enough, being a City fan will get you banned there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I had a close shave in Salem once but I think I got away with it, I've also been totally 'ducked' a number of times. I have a stoat as my familiar and a penchant for monorails, so I think @Major Isewater may have got this one spot on. No warts yet though (more by luck than judgment).

Inactive user Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 So changing my user name to Dr Harold Shipman is out of the question? I could be been a doctor, but I didn't have the patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
