No need for a conflict or a ban, just let them know that their user name will be made public.

I find it quite uncomfortable to initiate conflict with people.

Not sure why the parent is upvoted. If you have trouble confronting people, you make a poor admin. Is there another active admin on LW who is more competent?

EDIT: I assumed too much, Kaj was probably not expected to moderate and ended up in this position by default. Sorry.

I'm brash, extroverted, outgoing, confrontative, have the subtlety of a head-on collision with a Mack truck and still find this sort of admin duty unpleasant. So this leads me to suspect it's just horrible work.
