I probably shouldn't risk using 'ass' to mean buttocks, since it's also an animal reference. Yes, I say unpopular stuff.

Agree. And I also wonder why a forum -which can make up any rules it wants to - is called "liberal" or "PC" just because it doesn't allow usernames which may be offensive to some.
Yea, yea, yea. The OP doesn't find the word "Spic" when referring to a Puerto Rican to be offensive. But does anyone deny it is indeed highly offensive to some? No? Then we'll have to agree to disagree.
Folks, this forum can make any rules it wants. It's not unreasonable to ban potentially offensive user names. The OP is correct - he doesn't like it so he chooses to not participate (which I think is silly, but still, his call).
