ehh, i remember the big controversy over Albert Speer's nick. his i didn't have a problem with but this one is pretty tasteless. .
i wonder, has he made any posts yet?
The 'newest member' of Apolyton goes by the name OBL. Is this a name that should be allowed to be used?

I never thought Albert Speer's name was OK.
OBL is suspect, but it's an abbreviation that could mean a lot of things, other than the current. Depends on what he posts, etc.

It's a DL.
OBL account disabled, the account info did relate to bin Laden, and the IP matches with a known poster, whose ass may well be mine by and by, unless I get a real good explanation.

the guy even sent us a mail cause his activication mail took too long to arrive...
Well, he won't be getting an activation mail, since I permabanned him. I want to talk to the obvious culprit (if you check IP's) just in case there's some excuse.

Whilst having a DL deservesa Banning, lets not jump up and down over peoples nicknames, there have been far worse people than Mr Bin Liner. Most Israelis on this site would be outraged to see any of the Nazi Regime names here, but they have been allowed in the past .

Why is Albert Speer less tasteless than OBL?He is a representative of a regime that took a few million jews and systematically murdered them!

Exxxactly.
By the way, perhaps we should give OBL the Edward II treatment.

Having an OBL login is not much more tasteless than having an avatar of OBL down a rifle target sight. What if the "known poster" is OBL's DL?
Al. Speer bashing - who cares?
If I want to make my login "mussolini" why shouldn't I be able to? Or Napoleon? Or Hirohito? Hell we had Saddam!

From a neutral perspective, they are both equally a political statement and a troll, though the fact that you have the majority of the world on your side tends to sway the balance a little, rightly or wrongly.

So OBL never got to post? It would have been interesting to let him flame for half an hour before you banned him
After what happened, i fail to see any humor in calling yourself OBL or any other name close to it.

So who was it then? Or is this sort of stuff kept hidden as a matter of Apolytonic security?
Probably. Check to see who either a) loses a high number of posts for no apparent reason or more likely b) doesn't post for a week or so.Originally posted by Paul Hanson
