User talk:Buddaisweird

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Buddaisweird) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be an attack on Buddhism. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 00:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Why I do not believe "Buddaisweird" to be offensive, or born of malice
The reason behind the name, which i employed as a memorable username (Because it happens to be my alternate e-mail), is a childhood nickname, "Budda", which was spelled improperly on purpose, although the origin was still of Buddhism. I was a chunky kid, and someone called me "wise", hence the nickname was born. As a strange person, i used the name for one of my email accounts. That is why the name is misspelled in the username. I find the name "Buddaisweird" to appear very childish. I mean, after all, to call someone "weird" is a very childish remark. It was more a sense of irony that inspired it's continued use. I like to consider myself at-least a bit more intelligent than the proposed fictional child who would be creating this name (Although it's possible that it's not the case), and I find the thought of me speaking through that character to be humorous. I couldn't say that I am a Buddhist, but I find Buddhism to be a very interesting and novel religion, with many aspects that offer wisdom to those of all walks of life. Hopefully this offers some relieving insight into this name, and will lower your hesitations towards my using it. If not, I can certainly understand your reservations at allowing it, and I would be willing to change it if necessary. Thank you for time and consideration in reading this.
