The point I've been trying make all along was that user names /are not/ there to make points! What you did amounts to trolling and thus is something that warrents an immediate ban. However, since you have never done anything like this before and we all know that you are an upstanding young man, then I see no reason to ban *you* from editing under user:LittleDan so long as you promise not to pull a stunt like this again and not to edit under user:Non-liberala are stupid or similarly provocative user names.
Why is it necessary to restrict usernames? This seems like a pointless measure that could only loose us contributors.
Childish doesn't mean that all children are childish all the time. Many adults act childish (some almost all the time). However you almost always act very responsibly and have intelligence and reason way beyond your years. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. If you'll try to not repeat this particular lapse of judgment again, then Wikipedia is most definitely a place for you.

So, if I did it again, you'd ban me? Even if all of my edits were OK?
You still haven't addressed my concern that this sets a dangerous precedent of banning someone while a discussion of whether or not to ban them was still going on. This wasn't even for vandalism or trolling, just for having an objectionable username. LDan
