controversial user nics. But as wiki grows the number of new users and
usernics will rocket. If two or three people use them and get away with

'if he can call himself 'x', then I will call myself 'y'.' Sooner
or
later we will face the problem. It makes sense to do it now, with the
small community, than try to deal with it when there are twice or three
times as many users, by which time offence may already have been caused to
some, and potential wikipedians frightened off by the impression given by
the unfortunate use of badly chosen names.
Any observations?

Sounds like a good idea to me.
