Sometimes there are provocative names for some and not for others. Personally, I have no problem whatever name someone uses but I also understand those who have. It's perfectly understood. Hwoever, I want to spot the attention not to overdo that "censorship" if we could call it such. Osama bin Laden (I hope I wrote it right) may have done bad things but Osama is also just a name, and the same holds true for Saddam or Adolph. Even "Nazi" is just a word expressing just a way of thinking and believing things, although much different than mine (don't misunderstand my words). Hatred was the trigger for all those actions. It's not good to reply with hatred against those names which happen to be the names of peaceful and "good" people as well, all around the world. It leads nowhere.
In addition, it is also a matter of point of view. Someone who lost a family in Serbia or in Iraq could consider the names Clinton and Bush (not talking about "bush flying" )hated and provocative as well. Do you get my point? It's not the names but the actions to condemn.
Before a firy war starts in FlyNet, I wish to spot that the above is just my personally way of thinnking. Nothing more, nothing less.

The VA in question was removed for two reasons - 1) It was a blatantly provocative name and setup. 2) The person who "founded" the VA was a member who had been removed twice prior for cheating. I also removed a second VA started by the same person with a similarly provocative name.
We do look and watch as much as possible, but if you have a problem with a VA name, let one of the DB Admins know.

k. Just found that offensive, people back in Soviet times taught us (the young innocent kids) that Stalin was our hero and we should stop Hitler alike people and the fascism. But thats what we were taught, and I know better. Not saying anything bad about Hitler or the Nazi.
Before the war started, Hitler was a good man (thats what I believe). I did a research back in 2005, and realized that the only reasons he is thought to be a bad person is:
a) because of WW2
b) because of the Holocaust.
I mean before the WW2 and all those messed up stuffs, he was the hero of Germany, brought back the economy, made the people happy, u know?
