I've already gone over this several times. Have you been reading the mailing 
list lately? Loosing contributors who want to have provocative and offensive 
user names would be a good thing since we already waste enough time with 
anonymous trolls.

You wasted a good deal of editing time from other contributors by your little 
stunt. If you keep doing that type of stuff, then yes.

Why or why do I have to address everything you write? I wasn't the person who 
banned your user account either. And it has since be un-banned when we found 
out it was you.

Yes it was trolling.
