we do have several wikipedians with disabilities.
*sigh* No, I didn't mean that, by default, I assume that any Wikipedian is
not disabled, but simply that the name chosen by this user was /intended/
to be either "funny" or offensive, and probably /not/ intended to be
self-descriptive. I'm making no judgement on the likelihood of a disability
in a random Wikipedian, but theorizing on the behavior of a random internet
user.
