What would you do if you THINK you see inappropriate name?

what does this have to do with someones name being M*therf**er C**ksu*ker?

Blind? That was in response to someone saying words cannot cause harm whatsoever. Which is false, and the links were provided to illustrate that. Might these people be weak willed, sure, but it still remains that the words caused harm.

no i just think your post is misguided and unlike you i wasnt trying to be rude.
word can hurt, i grew up in an extremely abusive family which i havent talked to either of my parents in over a decade because they are horrible human beings.

however, someones name being a cuss word which is not directed to anyone is not something that should hurt anyone.
half of recovering from verbale and mental abuse is being able to internally fight those words, compartimentalize, and be able to thicken your skin.
i know because i was there myself.

And that just proves the point being made. Also, it's not my post, I didn't post those links. So the blind statement still stands, it was intended as an observation, with no intent of rudeness. Someone taking something said as rude, does not mean the intention was rude. It may be blunt and straightforward, but that doesn't make it rude. In fact the way you worded your first sentence is a contradiction of itself. You say you hate to say this, but then use a term that can be pretty insulting to many people. Oh, that's another good example of words have very different affects on different people.

In terms of the thick skin comment, I likely have some of the "thickest skin" there can be. It's almost impossible to offend me, but I still understand and accept i'm not the norm.

saying "Blind?" to start your sentance when all i said to you was how does this pertain to that guys name is rude.

but i guess your right on the prude part. i was rude too, its hard to distinguish a persons intent when there is no tone of voice, i meant it as playful.

Yes, blind. The post you responded to with your question had several links. Those links were in response to what the person replied to had said, ie this:

"and how exactly are words on a screen going to harm anyone?"

The links were used to illustrate that words CAN hurt, regardless of it being a name or not.

the illustration was wrong though. period. hearing someone use a general cuss word in real life should not be harming anyone. this is the gaming equivalent of that.

those links are for people who were directly abused or indirectly abused by people that actually are trying to diliberately hurt someone.
omg whatever, ban the friggen name, it dont effect me any. i just think its wrong to nit pick when his name isnt racist, homophobic or sexist. its literally just a childish reworking of a cuss word.
do you know how many times your going to see such things in the future? do you know how many retainers ive seen named after drugs or cuss words?

they should be banned for the sole purpose that cusswords arent names just like numbers arent names.

Important part bolded. Yes, swearing shouldn't hurt people... but it DOES. The whole point of the response was that words CAN hurt, but you tried to pull it off to something more than it was.

He couldn't understand how words on a screen could harm someone. Someone responded with links showing how. He even responds back with a generalization about the links, using the stereotype emo.
