Yes. In spite of my warnings, what I was afraid of is increasingly
happening: the "no offensive usernames" policy is used for extensive discussions about
"offensiveness", the creation of a "name police", long warning messages
about all kinds of "lewdness and blasphemy", and so forth. 

This whole debate should have ended 10 messages ago. Either appoint a single
benevolent dictator who just says "Yes/No" to usernames without much
discussion, or use voting. This is the perfect example where voting makes sense to
reach a quick conclusion.

Regards,

Erik
