I am a dragon. Here, I emerge from my egg

To speak to another with consideration, to appear before him with decency and humility, is to honour him; as signs of fear to offend. To speak to him rashly, to do anything before him obscenely, slovenly, impudently is to dishonour. Leviathan, X.

I am now an Admin; see-also /3RR. I'm part of WP:100 & I'm 373!. I like: trifecta. I have accounts on a couple of wiki's, including (recently) disinfopedia. All redirect to here. If you want to leave me a message, please do it on my talk page on the English wiki. I live in Coton and work at the British Antarctic Survey as a Climate modeller. I grew up in Berkhamsted. In a former life I was a mathematician at SEH. My username is my real name. I know thats a bit boring; sometimes I wonder what username I would have chosen. Perhaps Sakata, though thats another life... Sometimes people are nice about me. I've mostly edited climate related pages, which is where most of my wiki-relevant expertise is. I - the long-haired sandal-wearing weirdo-non-conformist - have been doing my best to staunchly defend (with logic, facts and reasoned arguments mostly) the orthodox line. This would have amused my father no end.

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI
