As for me, I am offended by people who are offended by what people on the internet call themselves.

Almost as offensive as anyone with the name Lee, or Davis. No it isn't offnesive.
And if you don't understand why he's asking, its because "Johnny Reb" was a nickname Union soldiers gave Confederate Rebels during the American Civil War.

Not the right way to handle this situation. If you have an issue or someone else does, the moderating team is who you should contact, not the general forums.
