Hi, I tried again to create a username and predictably the self described angry Wikipedia admin username, Freakofnurture, immediately blocked me from editing. The name I choose was "Even Small Children Can Edit Wikipedia" and his explanation is "yep, and i'm keeping it safe for them". It's curious how this person became an admin, being so angry, his consistent not assuming good faith and not being genuine in his communications. It seems in the wikipedia user-space there is plenty of room for anger and nastiness and not much for humor.
I've got an idea. Stop registering inflammatory usernames and we'll stop blocking them.
