Well, my name's Makki, but you guys can call me "Apple". I enjoy speaking my mind and questioning authority. Yes. That's right. That wasn't a typo. I enjoy questioning authority. Heck, I enjoy questioning everything. I also enjoy grilled cheese sandwhiches and internet protest. I'm also a feminist and a liberal.

Originally, I had signed up to "Conservapedia" a while ago under the same username with the simple intention of correcting more than just grammar and spelling. I made a few mildly amusing, rebellious, edits, but nothing big or spam-like at first. That's probably why none of the sysops payed any attention to me for about an hour.

Then, after reading their "Liberal Bias" article, I decided to balance the scales.

I typed up an article titled, "Christian Bias". I introduced Christian bias in, over all, the same way Conservapedia introduced "Liberal Bias", but with the appropriate edits. I then proceeded to list off all of the ways I knew in which Conservapedia and other sources had taken Christianity and, completely disregarding all factual bases, presented it as truth. i.e. homosexuality being immoral, refering to all articles without a Christian bias as having a non-Christian bias, believing the Bible to be law, etc. You get the idea.

At the end of the article, I referred to an example of Christian Bias. That example was "Conservapedia" itself.

Needless to say, that article was deleted, and my account was blocked approximately two minutes afterwards.

It was pretty dang fun to write, whether it actually did anything or not.

I then signed up to this website because it promotes free speech, poking fun at conservapedia, and supporting goats.

I hope you enjoyed that short Wiki-ography. Have a nice day.

EDIT: Good News: The page about Christian bias was salvaged, and is now on RW. Bad News (for me): People want to delete it. Meh. I didn't even publish it on here, so I wouldn't be too ticked if they deleted it. Disappointed, yes. Ticked, not really. I could always upload other stuff anyway, and that article was mostly made for the express intention of getting on Conservapedia's nerves. Not really to inform people, though I'd tried to draw from as much memory of Christian propaganda as possible. Nothing special. Was just fun and true.

EDIT: Alright. Goat has been added to the article, and now it's not getting deleted. Instead, it will probably be moved. This is understandable. But, it may change. Who knows?
