It is the point and it is a political statement and it offended other forum members.
You did request a name change through e-mail and that name was not acceptable either in my opinion.
And your buddy's location and sig violated the AUP.
If you sign on to forums you agree to that forum's AUP.
Now if someone else lets you use that forum name in their own private forums that is fine...they have to deal with the flame wars there.
There is a reason that political stuff is not tolerated on these forums.
I don't make the rules.I just enforce them.
