Yahoo Reverses Allah Ban 331
damnal writes "Yahoo's ban on "Allah" in users names, has been reversed. The ban was instituted due to a number of people registering for IDs using specific terms with the sole purpose of promoting hate.

Right?
Kind of ironic, coming from somebody that is objecting to the contents of a speech he didn't hear and can't find a transcript of, isn't it? But I'll bite.
My claim, which you are objecting to:
My proof (or at least a sampling thereof--there's lots more):
