You don't have to agree and I appreciate your respect.

Certainly, I could, but I wont. I chose this username specifically for
FreeBSD mailing lists and it's all I use it for. I have other usernames for
other things including one with my real name, on another system, that I use
for "personal" communications with friends and family. If people don't like
it they can just filter me out. I'm not here to make anyone comfortable, I'm
here to get the latest information about FreeBSD, my OS of choice and *IF* I
can help someone else with information I may have, I might choose to share
it.

Again, no.
