I have been an active user since October 2005. I also have an account on Wikiquote as well.

Just because I spend a great deal of time fighting ignorant vandalism, spam, and related nonsense here on the wiki, that does not mean I am completely without a sense of humor. Although I'm ashamed to admit it, I fart around on uncyclopedia.org from time to time, and I occasionally create frivolous nonsense on YTMND.com as well. I find it therapeutic.


I am armed with VandalProof, and I (almost) know how to use it!

[edit] I'm biased, and so are you

I recently participated in Project Implicit (a study being conducted by Harvard) in order to compile a full, honest list of my own personal biases. You can see the results of 94 of these tests here.

If you think that you don't have any racial, sexual, political, or religious biases, take a few of the demonstration tests and see for yourself just how biased you actually are.
