I'm not for racist names, but that's the same thing as you were arguing against. Censorship is censorship, regardless of the degree to which it is enforced. You think racist names or names with swearing should be blocked, yet you say you should just ignore those people instead of being offended.

No, it's not the same thing. If you're trying to equivocate a name like "Ilikepie" to "Iliketokilljews" then I can't be bothered to waste time engaging you in a civilized conversation about the matter, and I'm more patient than most.

It really just comes down to what the server admins feel like is acceptable, and from what I can gather, they find racism and swearing unacceptable, as well as some gross names, but drug related names are fine. But your argument as stated is flawed and contradictory.

Yes, it's their server and this is a private affair so it's ultimately their rules, for better or worse. But, to suggest chuck had a flawed or contradictory argument is absolutely absurd.
To use metaphor/simile, It's like you're saying that burning jews alive is only bad because it pollutes the environment, and if someone can prove it doesn't pollute the environment it's prefectly fine to burn jews alive. There are more than just environmental factors, like you know, humanitarian consderations etc.
