I'm not so sure (sorry!). A nom de plume is an honored tradition that I personally cherish, I have probably annoyed in excess of 320 people with some of my posts, and, Bob knows, fully 80 percent of the jokes I've ever told went down faster than the Andrea Doria,.... but .... I would rate U/Osama as a miscalculation from a comedic perspective.

I have to agree with yn0t_ on this one.
