Okay, considering your tolerance of Drolsi Susej (but not Jesus is Lord), how would you feel about someone calling himself Uoy Kcuf?
Why does the meaning of a username matter? If someone called themself Uoy Kcuf, or, for that matter, Fuck You, and they made good edits, why do something like forcing a name change that would deter them from using Wikipedia? LDan

Many fundimentalist christians leave public schools because the schools don't teach creationism. Does that mean the schools need to switch over from their scientific curricula to more religious education? LDan
