Okay, when someone asks you to stop something offensive, the proper response is not to argue.  In general, it's good to acknowledge the request and cease the offending behavior.  It is NOT good to sit there and claim that you should have a right to be offensive.  It is also bad to try arguing that nobody is offended, and therefore you can be offernsive.

Honestly, people, this is the second-fastest way to get banned (the fastest being reckless spamming).  Admins don't intercede often, and when we do, we have reasons for it.  When we tell you to stop something, we don't want a debate, we don't want you to defend your actions - we want the actions to stop.  So just a friendly public service announcement for anyone who thinks impersonations, dice spamming and unqualified harassment are a god-given right: being called on a violation of Rule One means you're being a dick.  Being a dick is bad, so stop it.  If you try and justify being a dick, that is compound dickery and you will be removed.  Teh end.
