Our rules against posting anything offensive or abusive apply to the poster's ID as well as to the text of the comment.

The ID box is often used for more than the entering the clever handle of a the poster, some of which are pretty popular and have quite a following. Some posters use the box to begin their messages and squeeze in a few more words, or they use it to identify the person to whom they are responding.

But under any circumstances, the terms in that box get the same scrutiny as the text box. That means any acronyms or initials with double meanings or other offensive terms will keep a comment from being posted.

And if you see any we have missed, let us know and we will clean up the mess.
