    Is it really necessary to NOT allow making a username (as well as blog url) with 'dot' inside?

    Yes as having a fourth level subdomain is not supported by some dns servers.

    Sorry as I forgot to mention that I use subdirectory urls (example.com/user1).

    What would be the answer now?

    And thank you theapparatus.

    Honest answer: not a clue. I know you can have the dot in a subdirectory name without issue.

    I do know that Donncha was against it as general principle though:
