Does this mean that [[User:GayCommunist]] is offensive as well?
Not to me. Although user:GayCommunist was neither gay nor a communist if I recall... He did it more or less for shock value, which may form cause for a name change.
Or is it because [[User:Jesus is Lord!]] makes a direct claim, so that [[User:Subject of Lord
Jesus]]
would be fine?
Bingo! It is a bad idea to allow bumper sticker messages as user names.
