To add a tiny bit of historical perspective to this...
In the very early days of wikipedia; I mean in the very very early days, we had among other editors one by the username of ThrobbingMonsterCock and TokerBoy (or something on those lines).
Out of deference to community views, they did infact change their usernames to TMC, (catch the alliteration there?) and TUF-KAT respectively (perhaps in this case it is useful to spell out that the abbreviation The User Formerly Known As Tokerboy was clearly the intended allusion).
Now admittedly those were the free-wheeling early days of wikipedia and we have indeed matured as a project quite noticeably since then, as 8 million wikipedia articles in all languages combined clearly attest. But once in a while it does not hurt to look back and remember...
