I don't know about anyone else but I think a lot of people do it for the same reason one might call themselves a_slow_old_man. It's pretty harmless humour to see it pop up on the screen that someone splattered a slow old man. Or that somehow someone fragged Hitler, not that I'm suggesting the two people are in any way associated. It just reads funny.
Perhaps I'm just too innocent to realise that ac is largely populated by rampant neo-nazi's spreading propaganda via /name.
Anyway I'm a bit confused as to how calling yourself Hitler used to be an offence worthy of being reported in the blacklist thread but people weren't denied connection from all servers for using that name automatically. I mean if it is - or at least used to be a punishable offence - then why let people commit it?
