2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

On RationalWiki

I am an editor on RationalWiki, though it has been a while since I was last "active." I was a moderator for a little over one year. (Before that, I was a mystical bureaucrat; all bureaucrats have since vanished into the waters of the Great Flood.) I welcome questions and I don't often bite the newbies. I also have a pretty high threshold for trolling, and don't use my banhammer very much at all. When banning is necessary, I like to go through a consensus-driven process that culminates in a community vote.

For a time, I was versed in the ways of MediaWiki. I made a bot running on Python and the pywikipedia library that did menial tasks.

A Personal Note

It might not come as surprise that my most active years editing this site were when I was a teenager. Specifically, I joined RW at the ripe age of 13, making this particular account the day of my 14th birthday. I wouldn't advise anyone to go back and look at my contributions from that time, but they're about what you might expect from such a person. I was 17 and 18 years old during my most passionate time here: the prolonged user rights crisis in 2011, becoming a moderator, and later a member of the RMF Board of Trustees. Afterward, I became inactive and took a long break from involvement with RW. What I regret most about my early time here was my own immaturity—surely there were much more important things for a teenager to do than writing tens of thousands of words in essays on the administration of this website—but I think my activity here brought my life a little bit of chaos and a sense of purpose that it was lacking elsewhere.
Messages on my talk page will always be read and answered to the best of my ability.
