304:, and has been for several months. That said, I'm not sure if they really are similar -- the donkey is in fact the logo of the Democratic party (I assume we're talking US, here, given the context), and I don't see such an argument applying in favor of this username, here. Your latest choice is probably better than the current name, but still sounds to me like a POV-username -- this is one of the few sites where that sort of thing may be problematic. Feel free to discuss, though. – 32: 202: 388:

I don't understand this at all - and isn't there some sort of process to go through? I think there should be some sort of discussion about this and I should be able to take part in it. I think I've been a good citizen even though I'm fairly new here and I don't understand why I'm being treated so

I'm new, but as far as I can tell POV usernames are not banned. I see them all the time here. BTW, why was the Demsaredonkeys guy banned after his name was allowed? Was it for some other reason?
