I just got back from playing on the Lets Get It On servers.
While playing, a player who named his COD2 character the same name as the killer of Virginia Tech signed on and was playing. I asked him politely to please change his name because it was just blasphemy and beyond disrespect out of all the names he could choose, it be Cho Sueng Huei (is that how u spell it)

As you all know, 32 innocent souls were masacred at Virginia Tech last week by one man and then he himself commited suicide.

So then after I asked him , he started asking blatantly why he should change his name. and i explained why. then he told me "Well thats waht American soldiers do everyday in Iraq" so i just blew up and was swearing everywhere and i just signed off eventually.

now, i understand everybody has a right to freedom of speech. but to play a video game using the name of a mass murderer for u game name? for all i could give a **** his name could be Fred or Donkey or )*U#)*#UR)*UR)*U#, but it had to be that name.

How would you all have responded to this?

I have to tell you, the day following the shootings I had a guy sign into barb with that name. I told him to please change his name and he did without questioning. It sure would be interesting to see if it's the same guy. Good thinking Pez, that name should be without question added to the "bad name list"...
