I'm a pirate...Go f*ck yourself
I detest people. Wikipedia really pisses me off. No one follows the rules. Yet I find myself addicted. I do not wish to disclose much about myself. I am a college student and have been for quite some time. I only say that as it has been previously discovered. Suffice to say that nothing matters about me other than the fact that I am here as an intellectual and wish to help wikipedia become better. I am quite interested in (and have studied much in) anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, music, art, and many other things, and that is probably reflected in my edits.
I do not hesitate to report people who vandalize pages or write stupid bullshit.
A good number of people seem to think I was an extremist. That may or may not be so. It's interesting to note that many of these same people are themselves extremists, though I'm sure they don't think so. Sometimes extremism needs to be battled with extremism. As an interesting factoid, many of those accounts who so vehemently battled me and were so assured in their self righteousness are now blocked or have retired. Sweet vindication.
Yes, I've been blocked before. A total of six times, as a matter of fact. I was much more "edgy" when I joined up on wikipedia and there was a period when many people were blocked for warring on a particular issue. Howevever, my last block was in November 2007, so bringing it up helps no one. I contributed after that block and didn't run into any problems. The past is the past and people change. I could just as easily have made a new account but chose not to.
I have a sense of humor that not many seem to get. It's kinda dry I suppose. I'm very sarcastic sometimes and usually always quite satirical. I love lambasting mainstream culture and the media. Also just about everything else that people take way too seriously.
I admit I can be somewhat of an elitist at times, but I also consider myself an intellectual and I'm always open to friendly debates and the such and am extremely tolerant and open. I quite dislike ignorant, intolerant and close-minded people.

The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae, which is native to western North America. The trees grow to a height of around 20 to 100 metres (70 to 330 feet) and commonly reach 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter. The largest coast Douglas firs regularly live for more than 500 years, with the oldest specimens more than 1,300 years old. The cones are pendulous and differ from true firs as they have persistent scales. The cones have distinctive long, trifid (three-pointed) bracts, which protrude prominently above each scale. The cones become tan when mature, measuring 6 to 10 centimetres (2+1⁄2 to 4 inches) long for coastal Douglas firs. This photograph shows a young female cone of the variety Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir), cultivated near Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
1897 – The Ancient Temples and Shrines Preservation Law was passed, instituting the protection of structures and artifacts in Japan designated National Treasures.
The double sovereign is a gold coin of the United Kingdom with a nominal value of two pounds sterling (£2). It features the reigning monarch on its obverse and, most often, Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of Saint George and the Dragon on the reverse (pictured). It was rarely issued in the first century and a half after its debut in 1820, usually in a new monarch's coronation year or to mark the institution of a new coinage portrait of the monarch. In addition to the usual coinage in Britain, specimens were struck at Australia's Sydney Mint in 1887 and 1902. Most often struck as a proof coin, the double sovereign has been issued for circulation in only four years, and few examples worn from commercial use are known. It is now a collector and bullion coin, and has been struck by the Royal Mint most years since 1980. In some years, it has not been issued and the Royal Mint instead placed gold versions of the commemorative £2 piece in the annual gold proof sets. (Full article...)
