banned means banned, Don't they understand how sick they really are? Options

[mbz1]

A few days ago I told my friend that, when a user is banned from wikipedia, his user page is replaced with banned user template. She looked at me, and asked "why?" I was not able to explain to her "why" because a normal person will never be able to understand it anyway.

Even before I was banned, I observed how a "little shit" Daedalus969 (T-C-L-K-R-D) and other "little shits" were doing this, but today a sitting arbitrator AGK (T-C-L-K-R-D) did it too:
"banned means banned; barnstars, and his actual userpage, are in the history"
Why, AGK, did you do it? What is wrong, if below the banned user template there would be barnstars? What are you afraid of? Don't you understand how sick it looks to normal people?

And suddenly I realized that "the banned user template" is the only thing I'd like to be associated with me in the insane asylum that calls "wikipedia" http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...0&oldid=3513926.

If you don't want people googlestalking to find your page still it's probably best to ask to get your user name removed from the image descriptions too, and you can probably ask for the account name to be changed -- when you look in the history of the page it is all still there, you need them to do wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:REVDEL

I could ask for the account name to be changed, but it will not be granted. Banned users are not not allowed to change the name of the account. Besides it will be something like RTV, and IMO it will be kind of cowardly of me to ask for this.It will be as recognizing I've done something wrong, and want to hide behind a new name. And I have done nothing wrong. I am proud of what I have done, and if I knew in advance what wikisickos will do to me, I would have done it anyway.

Changing the name on my images... Well, it could be done even by myself. I am not blocked on Commons, at least not yet, but there are a thousand or so images. I have neither time nor strength to do it.

So, if everything that is left from my contributions on wikipedia is that badge of shame at my user page, so it be.

The only thinks that saddens me sometime is that even after I die, my Wikipedia user page will still have that template.

You can do it ask one of the bot people politely - wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JaGa seems a nice guy he runs the hugebig disambiguation one

and yeah........ I don't think it's really worth a parody tho, more poignant

IN Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand."— The City's gone,—
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder,—and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.
– Horace Smith.
