 * For what it's worth - "truth monger" is a word used in political circles (I have heard Glenn Beck use it), and I believe that this block should have gone through WP:RFC/U. 20:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Evil Spartan (talk • contribs)

Can someone please explain to me what is offensive, or inappropriate in the user name? Is it that the word "monger" is mentioned in the christian's bible with another word they find intolerable? And doesn't that mean your are forbidding this name based on religious reasons? (Which is illegal in the United States, by the way...) Especially when you have usernames that include the term "Sock Puppet" which in today's parlay means a user under an assumed name that gives out information about your self to make it sound better, even if it is clouded with bias?

And just because someone uses a word in defamation of another, does that mean I can't use it to do good?

 * I'm not sure. Have you considered changing your name to just Truth, it doesn't appear to be taken? Addhoc (talk) 21:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, because I am not "TRUTH;" and would not feel comfortable with putting that as a moniker...

I just am put off that it was immediately, and with no regard to any discussion or reason, blocked. Yet, I see several monikers that are blatantly offensive are allowed to continue.

I see that as a mediation this is failing, and I seriously feel strongly that I am not getting any where with this process. Can I esculate this into arbitration?
