I often wonder why Freedom of Speech is bandied about here so much when it only actually applies to Americans. This is an American site but there are far more nationalities than just that so I don't see that Freedom of Speech is relavent here, especially seeing as it's not actually speech, it is written word.

As stated in that quote however it does say that if it contravenes any laws then the speaker is at risk of being punished.

Well here, on this forum, there are rules so if the name is deemed to go against them then it will be taken care of, Freedom of Speech or not.

Sorry, I just thought I'd point out that Freedom of Speech has very little to do with someone choosing a name on a website forum.

I'll go back to my hole now.
