'''Reply''' Nearly Headless Nick is the same character in the books as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington.  someone who names themself after a character in a book, is not more or less likely to be an "informed, fair judge of someone else's work" then anyone else.  It is a logical fallacy to assume that an editor is bad just because you do not like their name.  They do not give out admin priveledges at wikipedia arbitrarily, they are based on (correct me if I am wrong) the contributions of the user who wants to be an admin.  It is not "censoring" to remove information from a list to which it does not belong.  The user names of wikipedia editors is not usefull information, and does not need to be on Conservapedia.  --[[User:TimSvendsen|TimSvendsen]] 19:42, 29 January 2007 (EST)

'''REPLY'''Tim, you seem to be saying that the pseudonyms of users is NEVER useful information.  But how about the name "poison pen" that invaded our site until I blocked it?  How about the name "Antichrist"?  Surely many names are indicative of the views of the users.  What someone calls himself may tell us a great deal.    Choosing a silly name from a Harry Potter novel increases the likelihood that the editor has views more like other Harry Potter readers than, for example, daily Bible readers.  The Harry Potter name also suggests that the editor may be less than 16 years old.  This is far from conclusive, but the probabilities do shift based on this information.  Give the facts and let the reader draw his own interpretations. --[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:58, 29 January 2007 (EST)
