I /do/ feel this one is unacceptable, and said so when it was first

Can someone PLEASE explain to me what is offensive about that username? My
Dog Ate God's Hat. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense, sure, but offensive?
Please...
And don't complain about how some people could interpret it the other

the "fear" part of "fearÉIREANN" was the imperative mood of the verb
"fear"
and an instruction that they should fear him? Please....
