User talk:Superduperjackass

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy&#32;for the following reason: Potentially offensive, the use of the term "ass".. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 19:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC) I really don't feel my username is offensive in the least, and feel that it doesn't require modification. I have been using this username for many, many years on several websites, most notably YAHOO, and have NEVER been asked to modify it or choose another name. The word "JACKASS" is in everyday vocabulary, and has been in use in major venues on the large and small screen. "JACKASS" is a well-remembered putdown on "SEINFELD" by Elaine Benes/Julia Louis Dreyfuss; there have been two movies, and one tv show made with "JACKASS" being the title. If anything, I have DEstygmatized the word, and DEemphasized its' negativity by adding "superduper" to the front. I don't feel that I have created an offensive username. I would appreciate it if it were open for discussion. My name is not offensive to any specific gender, ethnicity, or person's sexuality. If anything, it is a putdown to ME and only ME.
