No right to choose an in-your-face-name. What has that to do with writing

That last point is the important one. If someone chooses an
in-your-face name I am not likely to complain about the name, but I

chosen something less controversial. If his edits are consistently fair
and satisfactory I will eventually ignore the name, and no-one will have
noticed how much scrutiny I have applied to those edits.
