My name is Simon. I acquired the nickname Spud when I was a tiny tot due to my fondness for mashed potato.

I'm from England. I was born in 1973 in Stratford-upon-Avon, which most definitely was the birthplace of the world's greatest writer, in spite of what some people might say.

Since 1997, I have been teaching English as a foreign language. I have lived and worked in Turkey, Poland and Japan. I have been living in Taiwan since April 2003.

I have been a RationalWiki editor since September 2011. I am currently a moderator and a member of the RationalWiki Foundation Board of Trustees.

Fancy a chip?

Long live Ukraine!

As a sometimes human-sometimes bot on RationalWiki: I, Spud, pledge to use my non-human (and human) powers of fast edit rates for good and will only stuff up if I am instructed to do so, or if I'm not. If you do challenge me, I will come to a complete stop and no longer be able to function (unless I do); however, you may hear about it from my operator, or me. Furthermore, I will not use my sneaky stealth abilities for evil, unless instructed to do so, or if I want to.

As a confirmed mustard jar for taking on this job as a Sysop on RationalWiki: I, Spud, pledge to only block users if they ask for it, or insert unfunny vandalism. I furthermore pledge that if I indulge in secret private conversations about you, we will make a formal report to the mob. Is that all? If you impugn my motives without warrant, or challenge my "AUTHORITY", er, there is nothing I can or will do.

As an elected Moderator on RationalWiki: I, Spud, pledge to only rename users if they ask for it, or have unfunny usernames. I furthermore pledge that if I do something wrong, it can't be me, because if the moderator does it, it is not a crime. I promise to do my job to the best of my ability.
