"Anal" has a real meaning in the English language, and it has nothing to do with any sexual act at all.
Common Sense is very elusive. I can see that for some it takes awhile to catch.
Common sense is what uneducated people who can't think for them self use to form arguments. Fact is, you have to assume he is being offensive in order to be offended. His name has a proper meaning in English, and can also be taken as slang. I have been accused of having an offensive name because Dex kinda sounds like dick and Whiskey-dick is a common slang term. Should i be muted?
What about CappuccinoMan? What if it was MocachinoMan? I can easily view either of those as a racial slur. Should he be muted? Common sense tells me it is a racist term, logic tells me to stfu because he may just love to drink cappuccinos.
What if I was an alcoholic? Could I get a ban on your name, then?
All the things I want to remember are in the places I'd like to forget.

No common sense is all about perception, if something can be interpreted in different ways and one of those are offensive then a name change is in order - the persons intended meaning when making the name doesn't matter at all since mind-reading is not possible.
Again this is common sense but I suspect it won't make sense to you.

Pal, i have forgot more than you will ever learn.
You make a good point though. Mind reading is not possible. You should change your name. I am offended at the thought of bringing back Czars to rule us. Do you have any idea how much death and pain was caused when people were ruled by the Czars (the c is silent by the way) Why would you want to reZar anything?

Unfortunately, the Terms of Service isn't based around semantics, therefore your argument fails as obviously a GGG Team member thought the name to be offensive.
You can play this little 3rd grade game of "my name means something else" all day long, but at the end of the day it's still semantics and that doesn't get you very far unfortunately.
Can you please tell me what the proper meaning for Anal Knight is in English, enlighten me? Not just Anal, but Anal Knight. I'd love to hear this argument.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anal
I'd see 2b definition to be correct for the IGN anal_knight .
But yes, rules are stupid, you can get muted just by saying a word that mean something else, like fagot which is a bundle of sticks or branches bound together.
I am very concerned about the education level of our beloved moderators. If Anal isn't accepted because someone thought it was a "bad" word , why would a big giant red dick be accepted if someone would think about HERP DERP PENIS!!!!lelele111one1one! ???
This is leaving me clueless. Also, the game is 18 years old and above. By that age, you should be able to draw a line between fiction and reality.
PS : English is not my main language. Stating this because I expect the butthurt grammar nazis
Oh yes, I just said Nazi... when do I get muted?

This is pure ignorance because he hasn't even stated his own age.
