I suppose it's not really an abuse of Stompy power if you just take someone at their word.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No, it isn't.

But supposing Mr. ThreadKiller is not expecting his name to be ThreadKiller... he wouldn't be able to log in as Gus anymore, would he?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Er, for the record o ye namechangers? The above exchange looked, for posterity, like this:
Threadkiller: can I have my name changed to Threadkiller, please?
Stompy: OK.
many others: Wow, isn't that exciting. Talk talk talk.
one last person: Oh by the way, here is the implication that Threadkiller is the artist weremonkey formerly known as Gus.
Explanatory taglines serve the public good! Friends don't let friends name-change without publicity! (Okay, you might, but only in rare cases, and expect a lot of "Who are YOU??")

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Stompy: OK.
The Stompy did address ThreadKiller as Gus, though.
I'm assuming you're serious, Gus.
Although your point about explanatory taglines still stands.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The Stompy did address ThreadKiller as Gus, though.
And did so intentionally, he might add.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I dont' think GusThreadKiller has been back yet to see the change, let alone do anything with the tag issue.

The thing is, even though we stompies have the ability to edit taglines, we would never, ever do that.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Potential for mischief rears its head. Thanks stars he is not a stompy anymore...
