It's pretty easy to ignore a signature. It's also funny, so I tend to give it a pass. I've seen worse signatures with huge pictures, those are pretty objectionable. The list members have come down hard on people with huge graphics and whatnot in their signature. Is Mr Rankin's long? Yeah, but it's text and it doesn't stand out and cry for my attention, either.
Turning this on its head. If you expect the courtesy of Mr. Rankin trimming his signature, why is it unreasonable for someone to ask you to use your real name? Or at least use an alias that appears legitimate. Community is built when people "know" who their peers are.
