I am as the title suggests somewhat of an angry man (well I am English). Easily troll'd I might add, but getting slightly better at seeing it coming. Angry at what? Well, the usual stuff; injustice, political and social madness, but for the most part... illogical behaviour (which sums up mostly what's wrong with the world). Not wishing to be responsible leads to a lack of logic, and since most people play follow the leader that's where we're headed.

My background is in mathematics, but after many years of struggling with the illogical IT World I'm now happy to concentrate my efforts into producing art (painting, writing and poetry).

I do dip into Wikipedia, but rarely do I edit. I find myself somewhat irritated by the layout of most pages, but find it hard to deal with the aggressive nature of the other editors. I have engaged (or rather dipped in) to a few conversations on talk pages but again find even that almost impossible to comprehend. A lot of bickering and nonsense. Often the "rules" seem to be misused to trump one argument over another. Bullying is commonplace with heavily biased content shamefully defended on the talk pages. The argument about "the bigger the lie" seems more true now than ever it was. The pages are heavily US centric; capitalist, secular... etc.

The one aspect of Wikipedia I find most odd is citation. Citation appears to be the lynchpin of the site, and for many articles this means newspapers. Newspapers are by their very nature biased, they are paid to embellish and enhance, and not for the good of the facts either. The idea (at least in the UK) that you would cite a newspaper as proof of anything would likely bring about derision, at least in the circles I move in. Newspapers in the UK are vehicles for powerful people above all else, and should be viewed as such. So what can you trust? Basically... nothing, at least nothing that benefits from the "facts" presented.

Anyway, I'm putting this page up as I understand posters without pages are ill considered, though I doubt my rant here offers much in the way of comfort. I want the truth... even the truth other people can't handle. If you think I might be wrong, visit the pages on controversial subjects like Hitler or 9-11 for example. You'd think such subjects would have concrete evidence, but instead we have opinion and that opinion is biased. The thing is, no one likes Hitler (well, not many people anyway), so it goes unnoticed. No one cares. Well I do. I want the truth, even about monsters like Hitler. Without the truth, the real truth, we learn nothing.

All the best, James
