I am fairly sure it is a coincidence. I have blocked a couple of user names with the p word . It's just I found it hard to believe that no body caught it.
Caught what? You mean that the vandal was never blocked? They stopped vandalising on their own, so I suppose there was no need. Warnings should have been issued, at least, but it's not unusual for people not to (I've forgotten myself on occasion).

I forget too. If I remember correctly, people didn't warn users as much back then. We didn't have WP:UAA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:UAA then. There wasn't as many admins either.
