Poll about so-called "offensive nicks"

I apologize for "Christ," as it was crossing the line... which I was well aware of when I registered it =P

I have a somewhat darker sense of humor than most, which doesn't always go well with social interaction, I'm afraid.

I find Orion to be offensive and demand you disable the callsign, it's not like it's used anyway.

Hmm, I wonder what'd happen if someone came on with a nick like "MrJi***boo?" Oh, there'd be hell to pay.

If nothing else, I for one call this a win against folk who just can not refrain from spewing, and once they get started, simply can not manage to shut their holes, when someone mentions "Jesus." I'd be awesome to watch heads explode if the Christians in this community organized and got on Teamspeak together daily to sing from their hymnals non-stop. Hell, I'd donate $20 USD to each of their church's coffers to see that.

I find people who foam at the mouths when they talk about how much they hate Christians to be equally as annoying as the die-hard Jesus followers.

Sounds to me like someone got an overdose of political correctness, especially when it comes to deleting God. So no religious references are allowed in our nicks now? You are aware there are quite a few Catholic saints yeah? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Catholic_saints

You know, theres probably someone who has played Alleg whose first name just so happens to be Jesus. Don't you think they should be allowed to use their own *name*?

As a lifelong devote christian, I dont find either of those offensive. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

God, Christ, Jesus, Yahweh, are just NAMES people. Do you know how COMMON a name Jesus is? Or how many people use the term "God" online for things other then God? /glare.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":glare:" border="0" alt="glare.gif" />

If you are offended by this kinda stuff, CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER YOUR ROCK AND COME TALK TO ME! FFS, christians get KILLED for their beliefs all over this world, and your complaining becuase someone is using a name that means something to you? /glare.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":glare:" border="0" alt="glare.gif" />

BTW, I am offended by pook, because thats the name of garfields teddybear. See how stupid this can get? /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
What about Buddha? There are THOUSANDS of religions, let freedome of speech stand, and complain about nicks like 'fingerbang' instead. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Edit: oh yeah, my IRL name is Stephen Michael ______ Should people be offended because im named after an arcangel and a saint??
Edit2: also, this is why i think the worst enemy of christianity is CHRISTIANS.

Personally I don't like the fact that the admins always take the side of the complainer, If you are offended by someones callsign, don't play, you choose to play this game, no one is forced to play, except The Serb who is required to harvest pods to feed the XT pigs.

I am sure pleanty of complainers don't get pandered to, but many more then I would like to see seem to get whatever they want by complaining non stop. You will never make these people happy, you will only piss off everyone else. Stop pandering to whiners. The whiner will never stop whining that is what they do.

If someone constantly complains, just remove there ability to be offended. Deactivate thier sign in, problem solved.
