[edit] I, Mouthbreather
In the proud tradition of generations of my liberal humankind, all of whom breath through our mouths, I hereby gratefully accept the title of "Mouthbreather", donated to me by skilled, fair, super-intelligent Conservapedian Jinxmchue. I'd like to thank my manager, my bit on the side, my coke dealer, my media friends in Hollywood, and oh I'm too liberal and can't be bothered to remember all of them.

[edit] Vote Lee Mercer Junior for President!
He would have been the Man for me. It seems the rest of America did not agree.
[edit] Significant Articles & Contributions
The FBI Incident was primarily what brought me to RW. I couldn't believe that a snivelling little shit like Andy could have such an over-inflated sense of importance as to actually report someone to the FBI for wandalising his stupid little fucking blog. But he did, he claims. If even ten minutes of America's tax dollars were wasted as an unfortunate FBI agent checked into Stevecarson's web doodling, Andy should be taken to the fucking cleaners. And if an agent DID check into it, the invasion of privacy Andy caused is disgusting. I hate that man. So anyway, I did all the research and wrote most of that article, which is really my only significant contribution around here. The rest of the time I'm just taking the piss, which is kinda normal for us Irish.
I introduced the phrase "undeadened" to Andy, though I was banned shortly after CP sysops picked up the catchphrase, now widely seen on Conservapedia. I had no idea I could so easily get Andy to use a zombie reference for de-redlinking.

Oh, please. How does "most" sound?

[edit] Conservapedia Sock History
Like most editors here, I started out on CP by simply trying to bring some truth and balance to The Trustworthy Encyclopedia. I had no intention to vandalise, I simply tried to point out factual inaccuracies, internal inconsistencies, unreferenced opinion, and would try to reason with them on the Talk Pages - since actually contributing was usually impossible, due to the page being locked.
Of course I ended up being booted out almost instantly every time. I returned again and again with good intentions and tried not to lose my temper as they replaced fact with opinion.
I eventually gave up trying to be Honest Citizen - It was just impossible. So - wrong though it may be to some - now I simply try and cause as much disruption as possible, as sport, to selfishly entertain myself. I don't see them contributing anything useful to the world, and it's just too much fun to poke sticks in the beehive and see them get all hot and bothered.
I've had a marvellous time with many characters. Some of them are:
- Doggedpersistence[2]. Hated that stupid 'New Ordeal' article nonsense RobS came up with.
- GodisGreat[3]. In love with Kenservative[4]
- 50something[5]......."Proteins only take a long time to build if they are occurring naturally, not if they are created supernaturally"- PJR
- Hmmm- seems like all traces of his existence have been burned
- Wonders, Los Angeles expert
- CarefulNature[6], a truth-seeker, confused by the Vole Clock
- Feichineejits[7].......Birds and fish (or probably more accurately, creatures that fly and creatures that swim in the sea) were created on day 5, with land animals on day 6 - PJR. TK did well in spotting the origin of my name.
- NeverForget, seemed to spend most of his time edit-warring with Tmtoulouse. They battled over the origins of the Sun [8], the rock group U2[9] and monkeys[10]. He was also a keen oenophile [11]. Definitely one of my favourites[12]
- Bananaman, Enemy of comfortable nightgarments[13].
- NotForgotten[14]. He loved Madonna, death squads and Pat Tillman. [15]. Made Jinkas say "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian church"
- MunkeyNotPeople[16], Swedish tax expert.
- DoggerelBank[17] took it on the nose for internal consistency within CP. As the abortion article states that abortions cause breast cancer (unsubstantiated), I tried to add that info to the Breast Exam article. Seemed reasonable, but it got DoggerelBank banned. Naturally, a month later Andy of course added the exact same info with no repercussions [18]. Lovely. Consistent. Great.
- Hawkeye[19]......Attempted to get behind DoggerelBank but failed
- ScottGorham Guitarist from Thin Lizzy, friend of Conservative [20]
- Brian Robertson who was not only the other guitarist from Thin Lizzy, but also fought for fair recognition that the phrase 'Mainstream Media' and its acronym MSM mean different things to different people.
- AnneUulmehlmehay [21]......."All talk, no arrticles" (sic)- Ed Poor
- AncientSage[22], a cranky old conservative git who wanted to make weird laws that were corollaries of Andy's.
- Rumsbush, newspaper reader[23]
- Misterlinx, Heath Ledger fan and Google statistician [24].
- Reasonableperson, fan of prepositions[25].
- OldMan, his 88-year old wife had MRSA[26], and he wasn't very impressed with Andy's use of Google hits as proof of anything.
- Reaganite[27] started well, thought women should "keep their aprons on", but I think I damaged his credibility permanently for letting him like the movie "Juno". Big mistake.
- Billabong[28]. A very close elderly relative contracted MRSA in hospital and nearly died from it, so Billabong took up the cudgels and rewrote the entire piece of shit MRSA article, which had previously been entitled "New Gay Plague". Really. Consequently, Billabong also got stuck into the "Gay Man Plague" article that was another variant on the same theme. I did quite a lot of pwning Ed, TK and Andy over that, thank you very much. Wankers.
- SpiritualLife[29] - Really wanted to go see Expelled:I Haz no Brainz with her kidz.
- Aggrieved, [30], who I accidentally exposed here on Rationalwiki in the middle of a large debate about Guantanamo Bay prisoners with TerryH, who blurted out nonsense then actually claimed he never said it. Of course I got blocked, sadly, along with some other valiant martyrs, by that lying asshat.
- MarianS[31]. Marian was a right-wing nutjob who wanted to turn schools into prisons to prevent school shootings. Ed Poor almost went for it.
- MakeTime[32]. MakeTime got heavily involved in the Expelled:No Bananas Allowed debate, inserting clippings from major media reviews. They didn't last long. MakeTime then spawned a number of subsequent socks as I attempted to defend the movie reviewer's notes - failing miserably, of course. No opinion other than glowing opinions are allowed of that particular movie.
- TakeTwo[33] waded in after MakeTime was banned for adding the reviews. TakeTwo managed to trap Ed Poor into admitting he'd lied, claiming he knew what the content of the movie was when he hadn't seen it, but of course that just got me banned anyway.
- JackieHealyRay[34] got banned for trying to segment the reviews into 'Good' and 'Bad' sections.
- NormanTebbitt[35]. Norman pointed out yet more factual inaccuracies in CP, proving Ed Poor and Andy's claims that "there were no unarmed police forces anywhere in the world" to be incorrect. He also managed to use his namesake's famous "bike" quote.
I maintain quite a few lot of characters over there, but as they are running around with greatcoats on with the collars turned up, I don't know who they are. Usually I have between three and 10 characters alive at any one time. Sometimes they simply beat on each other if they can't start a fight with someone else. Most of them fight the good fight for truth, but quite a considerable number of them are evangelical right-wing nutjobs, deep undercover. Some of them are very senior CP'ers. It's sad. I need to go to Socks Anonymous.
[edit] RationalWiki stuff I'm working on
I am The Category Nazi. The point of categories is to have AS FEW AS POSSIBLE, not as many as possible. As of 3/17/2008, we have about 300 categories. Not smart. However, we're not the worst - for example, I think this is a fine example of a Bad Category.
If you try adding pointless or unfunny categories I will hunt them down, tear their hearts out and shove the entrails back up your arse.
- Waylaying Categories
- Showing uncategorised pages what's good for 'em.
- Undeadening zombie pages.
- Deorphanising Billy-No-Mates pages.
We also have about 800-odd red links, i.e. links to articles that don't exist. Obviously some will become appropriate articles, but many can simply be de-linked.
[edit] Personality Tests
Moral Politics. Two results, average 'em: -5.5 or -6.5 on Moral Order and 3.5 or 1.5 on Moral Rules.
Political Compass Two results, average 'em:
What's weird about this is that I absolutely would NOT call myself in ANY way a Libertarian. I'm not comfortable with that philosophy whatsoever. So the Political Compass misrepresents that factor at the very least.
[edit] Online/Offline?
Mostly ONLINE. Be well.
