The one true voice of power associated with Wikipedia,
Jimbo, has ruled.  That ruling is that my account will
be deleted.

With the exception of my username, I cannot see what
faults anyone can take with my time on Wikipedia to
date.  My edits and submissions have been useful, I
have not been insulting (other than is the norm) to
other users, and I respectively carried out a debate
here on wikipedia-l with Ed regarding views on
absolute versus relative "right and wrong".

For those who asked why I was requesting sysop status,
the answer was simple.  To better deal with acts of
vandalism as they occured.  Entries that consist of
nothing of strings but "gfkjslkjskjsfglkj" or pictures
of the goatse man need to be deleted, and I would
simply be one more potential deleter.

Finally, I'll point out that Brion is correct that
deciding to adjucate the offensiveness of usernames is
just opening a whole new can of worms.  It appears
that from now on calling oneself "Sweet Pussy", "I
Love Hitler", or "George Bush is a Weenie" will all be
bannable offenses.
