User (Hostmask: moc.murtceps.ser.51v8tb-PCS|reciffO#moc.murtceps.ser.51v8tb-PCS|reciffO) came in with the nick "OfficerErik1K-88"; eventually changed their nick when forced to do so because their original nick contained a well-known Neo-Nazi dogwhistle. They denied that their original nick was a neo-Nazi thing, but also went on to argue that the neo-Nazi thing (which their nick wasn't related to, no siree) isn't really that bad actually, so.

[19:37:36] <Hex> OfficerErik1K-88: What is the significance of the number 88 in your username?
[19:51:51] <OfficerErik1K-88> Hex There really isn't much of a significance, it is just a number that I really like for some reason.
[19:52:40] <Hex> OfficerErik1K-88: Are you aware that it's a common neo-Nazi dogwhistle?
[19:53:36] <DrIsaacLemone> Wait it is???
[19:54:42] <OfficerErik1K-88> Hex I did not know that.
[19:55:01] <Hex> Well, it is. I'd recommend changing it.
[20:01:27] <OfficerErik1K-88> Hex Well, I don't think I would change it, even knowing that, after all it is just a number and not many people would know something like that.
[20:02:17] <Hex> OfficerErik1K-88: It's like, incredibly well-known.
[20:02:44] * OfficerErik1K-88 is now known as Guest15637
[20:02:49] <Kufat> Pick a new nick.
[20:09:20] <Guest15637> Hex Well, in terms it doesn't really matter, after all I am using the number in 1K-88, so I don't really understand why you decided to tell me this about a number that I just so happen to use in a call sign.
[20:09:59] <Hex> Guest15637: My guy, do you realize how sus it is that you insist on having a well-known Nazi dogwhistle in your username?
[20:10:41] <Hex> Regardless, when I 'recommend' you change your nick, I mean you have to. We do not allow that shit in our community.
[20:21:02] <Guest15637> Hex Well, it doesn't really matter, it is my choice to have it. Also, how should I have known something like that about a number, also we all can say that you can not say I have to change my nick over a stupid number, after all we all use numbers and the meaning behind the number means nothing unless it is used with in the context, witch I wasn't
[20:21:02] <Guest15637> using it in the context to that meaning, so I was using it as a the number it is and if you say that it is wrong to us a number then I can say with honesty that you would be dead wrong. So I say a number is a number and I can use any and all numbers that I so desire even if the meaning to that number might be something you don't like. After all,
[20:21:02] <Guest15637> what is the wrong in using a number? I see no wrong done. You just felt offended at me having the number 88 in my nick, witch I can say is quite stupid.
[20:21:49] <Kufat> Guest15637, you're trying my patience here.
[20:31:15] <MalyceGraves> It doesn't matter if it is just a number to you. To others it is a nazi dogwhistle and that is enough.

[20:54:00] <Kufat> OfficerErik, that nick is fine, BTW.
[21:03:57] <OfficerErik> I do want to ask, why do you all say I couldn't have the number 88 in my nick?
[21:04:37] <Edna_Granbo> You were told this like, three times.
[21:05:37] <Athenodora> OfficerErik https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#In_white_nationalism_and_supremacism
[21:07:54] <OfficerErik> So what rule did I brake that made it so that the nick needed to be changed?
[21:08:37] <Hex> OfficerErik: The one about us not allowing bigotry in our community.
[21:08:45] <Athenodora> OfficerErik okay, you've definitely had it explained to you before. Now this is just straight up trolling
[21:08:58] <Athenodora> which is a bannable offense
[21:11:26] <Kufat> OfficerErik, I've seen what it looks like when people do this by accident (say, because they were born in 1988 and didn't know about the Nazi associations.) They apologize and pick a different nick and that's the end of it. They don't continue arguing like this.
[21:11:57] <Athenodora> OfficerErik question - why do you think that chat nicks displaying Nazi symbols shouldn't be banned? Are you a Nazi sypmathiser, by any chance?
[21:26:28] <Athenodora> OfficerErik Alright, it's been more than 10 minutes and you still haven't answered a simple yes/no question, and it's looking increasingly like you're just trying to waste out time. I am issuing a permanent ban on your account for trolling.
[21:26:34] <Athenodora> Do you have anything to say before I proceed?
[21:26:57] <OfficerErik> Athenodora No, but it is not really just Nazi-related, it is related to a few other things as well. Also, you can't say something is bigotry if there is no context to what it is like a number in a nick, you can infer that it is just a number, not some other thing. And wouldn't you say I did not do bigotry, after all, it is defined as an obstinate
[21:26:58] <OfficerErik> or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. Also, going off of the Wikipedia article 88 is just another way of saying Hail Hitler and that is not bigotry, but if you use 88 with 14 then that would be bigotry, but without it,
[21:26:58] <OfficerErik> it is not, so in fact, I did nothing wrong and you all are just being a bunch of morons that I can say don't read things carefully and I feel like I am getting dumber with arguing with ya'll, I mean telling you all some facts that I have just learned from this interaction is making me feel dumber. So I hope you all realize how stupid you all are
[21:26:58] <OfficerErik> and me.
[21:27:18] <OfficerErik> I am a slow typer may I say.
[21:28:04] <Hex> > just another way of saying Hail H*tler
[21:28:06] <Hex> Yikes.
