My name and proseletyzation

Yellow Sky is an allusion to the Daoist eschatology of the Yellow Turban Sect, who rose up in revolt 184 C.E. with the slogan "The blue sky wanes! The Yellow Sky waxes!"
By giving myself this name, I remind myself that all eschatalogical traditions are dangerous, even if they are associated with peaceful faiths (this includes Buddhism - A Korean claimant to the position of Future Buddha could have given Muhammad a run for evilness, what with is claim that all who killed ten of his enemies would become enlightened!). Daoism is a very dangerous set of teachings, which I rejected after much thought.
In contrast, yellow snow has no such significance.
If others have the right to insult buddhism on this forum, which I do not begrudge them, why should I not have the right to praise Buddhism on this forum without being begrudged?
