If you do challenge me, I solemnly swear I will not promote you any time soon, or change your name to something that rhymes with "duck" unless I permaban you.

[edit] Things I am

[edit] Can do

My favourite targets are Creationism and Capitalism, and I like to do historical articles, although that takes the site into encyclopedia territory, so I have to be careful.

[edit] Can't do

Technical wiki stuff, at least until I get that Mediawiki manual thing out from under the heap by my bed. Tracy Emin's got nothing on this place.

[edit] Won't do

I've been interested in the paranormal all my life, but I won't write about it here; I am, for RationalWiki's purposes, on the wrong side of the fence, and I won't get drawn into arguments about it, it would be a squabblefest with no winners. I will however, comment on bad logic or assumptions in paranormal articles from time to time (eg "this phenomenon doesn't exist because it's impossible").

[edit] Will do far too often

• Create stupid articles about going to bed or buying household goods.
• Leave and Never Come Back.
• Make crap jokes.
• Make obscure references to old comics, songs and TV shows.
• Be inconsistent.
• Forget to sign talk page posts.
• Get my socks mixed up.
