What's in a name???

Most people including me have a very difficult time in coming up with a screen name or an email address. As most of you know my email address contains “the last rebel" in it. I got this from a Lynard Skynard album I was listening at the time. It occurred to me that there might be some sort of bias against the name. Well I have been in hundreds of online debates and not the first person said anything about the address----until yesterday. I had an admin tell me this ---- "If someone had just noticed that your e-mail address contains the phrase ‘the last rebel’ a few hours ago, we all could’ve saved a bunch of time here. -ed" I broke no rules yet the article is closed for discussion. It seems that as long as the South or Jeff Davis was being bashed everything was fine, even the use of foul language was ok, but when I started hitting back with facts that was a no-no. I will be writing the editor and complaining. Here is the link if you wish to read the full exchanges.
