I'm pretty sure I've seen a user with the IGN "AdolfHitler" (different spelling) to get banned. I doubt that is offensive so why did they get banned?

I'm sorry if I didn't understand your post correctly. I heard of what things he did, but how is just mentioning the name prohibited? Why don't we just remove all Hitler-related articles from Wikipedia and burn all the books where his name is shown?

Why would you even choose a name like 'AdolfHitler'? By choosing a name like this, you show that you worship Adolf Hitler. By mentioning his name in books and articles you don't. I don't get how you compare burning books & mentioning him to picking his as your nickname?? What if your grandparents got killed by Adolf Hitler? I don't think you would still like it…

I don't feel it necessarily has to mean you worship him if you name your account that way. I never meant to say that things he did were good, so I'm sorry if I worded it wrongly.

Mentioning his name in books is different from setting your name as it. Almost all books/articles portray him with a negative light, which, in my opinion, is correct, but having a screen name as "Adolf Hitler" is kind of like endorsing him/his views.

I still personally feel like using his name as account username does not necessarily have to be endorsing his views, but I can see your point. Someone can find it offensive.

This is a very rare occasion indeed, I'm agreeing with someone!
Well done chap

I don't know where you come from, but if you're of a European background then you most certainly would find it offensive

Unless you liked him, you would never name your account after him.
