Totalitarian? I think this is taken out of context.

Think about Blizzard as a company that wants to sell a game that to an audience. Obviously, the larger the audience the better (more money). Restrictions such as "18+" rating or "contains drug content" or "explicit language" or "nudity" narrows an audience.

While it may be true that many of us are exposed to... see above... the fact of the matter is, some parents don't like their kids exposed to it. Therefore, to have the largest audience possible and have a game that can appeal to the largest audience possible, restrictions are put on the game itself rather than influencing the audience's or audience's parent's decision to purchase the game.

So before you go out and say that Blizzard is going to be all controlling and freedom restricting (very American of you) stop and think of it as a business decision first and ask "Why?" instead of making some garbage pole about whether people find it offensive or not (polls like those give zero useful information other than inflame the discussion).

Either way, I doubt my inability to create user names like "child pervert", "dope man", or "fuck tard" will deter me from purchasing the game. Afterall, I buy the game to play it, not as a means to be an "online billboard" per se. I guess since you also don't have beta anymore, you decided you had nothing better to do than to come on here and inflame a trivial discussion that will go nowhere.

P.S. Blizzard already said they are implementing chat channels for battle.net 2.0 after release. So get your facts?

Not offensive, but dopeman is quite a stupid name. Hardcore stoners are so bloody annoying.

Fail? Its a reference to a song, I haven't smoked weed in over 9 years.

If hardcore stoners are bloody annoying perhaps you should relax? Maybe smoke a joint?
