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 martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is a large eagle native to sub-Saharan Africa. A species of the booted eagle subfamily (Aquilinae), it has feathering over its tarsus. One of the largest and most powerful species of booted eagle, it is a fairly opportunistic predator that varies its prey selection between mammals, birds and reptiles. It is one of a few eagle species known to hunt primarily from a high soar, by stooping on its quarry. Currently, the species is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This martial eagle was photographed in the Matetsi safari area in Zimbabwe.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American epic war film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. Set in 1944 in France during World War II, it follows a group of soldiers, led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), on their mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), who is to be brought home after his three brothers are killed in action. Inspired by the books of Stephen E. Ambrose and accounts of the deaths of members of a single family such as the Niland brothers, Rodat drafted the script and Paramount Pictures hired him to finish the writing. Spielberg wanted to make Saving Private Ryan as authentic as possible, and hired Frank Darabont and Scott Frank to perform uncredited rewrites based on research and interviews with veterans. The cast went through a week-long boot camp to understand the soldier experience. Filming took place from June to September 1997 in England and Ireland. Saving Private Ryan earned critical acclaim for its graphic portrayal of combat. (Full article...)
