Why do you automatically assume that he has a reason? Or that it is in fact a he? Does one have to have a reason for the name one chose? Lets face it, once you've signed up with it you rarely see it used to do anything but identify you. Who cares what it means if it's only useful as a differentiator?
If you've got a decent forum name then for most people there's only a 5 minute period where they're quite impressed, and then after that they don't really care. So I'd say there's a pretty strong case for forum names to not necessarily make sense. If your name offends people then usually those people who got offended are told to stop being such blubbering vaginas, and the name is left as it is. That's just personal experience there, but I've never seen it conducted any other way.
I'm really not seeing a very strong argument for the "for" here. I say we close this thread. It's not going anywhere, the user obviously isn't active, and if left open I predict (judging from the way it's been carrying on so far) it will descend into pointless arguing.

Well... why shouldn't he have a reason? I mean, there's a much bigger chance that he has a reason, using that name, rather than not.
I'm not trying to create some flamewar with you. I just can't see why someone would call himself Hitler, if it's not meant as a joke or an insult to some people.
