[edit] Administrator Misbehavior
[edit] Power Trips
Some wikipedia administrators go on power trips and are partisan in favor of some users - this makes all wikipedia administrators look bad, as well as wikipedia looking bad.
[edit] Punish the Innocent
When someone is infringed upon you generally are supposed to punish the infringer not the infringed. Furthermore blocks/bans/other sanctions are NOT preventative, those are punitive actions - no matter what you say - arguments to the otherwise have been heard many time sin the passed by totalitarian governments.
[edit] Me
Hello, I'm Kazan - I was born 1983-12-25, and soon to be married (2006-11-11). I am a software developer, both for my day job and on the FreeSpace 2 Open Source code Project. I have partially completed a degree in computer science and will be returning to school to do the rest.. presently. I currently work in the eGovernment software sector for a state contractor.
[edit] Anti-religiously
I am opposed to the existence of all religions as a threat to the further development of mankind and its long term existence. I also consider it a threat to my personal freedom, and it has caused the mutilation of my body. I will argue with anyone, anytime, anywhere about religion - and if they are debating honestly they will find themselves losing quickly.
As anti-religious as I am, I completely support the right of people to be religious so long as their practice of religion does not infringe upon the rights of others.
[edit] Extremists
I have no tolerance for religious extremists who feel they have the right to legislate their beliefs. No, you don't get to tell homosexuals they're evil, and legislate against them (that's bigotry). No, you don't get to tell people they cannot have abortions. No, you don't have the right to claim they're committing murder as no objective definition of murder fits fetuses as they are not yet individuals. No, I'm not going to burn in hell for being an atheist, it's your hell - you burn in it. No, you don't get to keep your religious crap in the United States government - it's against the constitution.
Christians, Muslims, etc., who work against the extremists of their various religions and promote religious freedom and equality are to be applauded. They need to step up and drown out the extremists. I'll disagree with you, and argue with you, about religion - but it will be on friendly terms.
[edit] Non-voluntary non-therapeutic Circumcision is a crime
Non-voluntary circumcision is absolutely unacceptable in all cases and constitutes Genital Mutilation. Medically warranted circumcision should only be used when absolutely warranted and less-invasive procedures have had no effect (per the British Medical Association's quite astute recommendation). The foreskin is not "just a flap of skin" (http://www.noharmm.org/advantage.htm) and no it's not just "a little snip" (http://www.noharmm.org/snip.htm)
No, it is not islamophobic or antisemitic to be opposed to non-voluntary circumcision. It is anti-non-voluntary circumcision. Want to get circ'ed for religious reasons? be my guest, as an adult. They're your religious beliefs, it's your body. Circ'ing a minor for religious reasons is "your religious beliefs, their body" - not within your rights.
[edit] This page has been vandalized
My user page was recently vandalized by one Hittman6. He inserted a comment into my section section under "me" trying to imply that I'm somehow bigoted against smokers. He has a history of pov-pushing in the second hand smoke article's general area. To suggest that one can be bigoted against smokers is laughable to begin with - smoking is an activity that smokers voluntarily engage in that exposes non-smokers to an extremely toxic mix of carcinogenic chemicals almost always against their will. Vandalizing user pages shows his mentality. The truth of the science behind ETS speaks for itself.
[edit] Concerns
- Computer Games, especially space flight combat simulations (Wing Commander, FreeSpace 2)
- Cessation of anti-atheist bigotry by Christians, especially in the United States
- Prevention of non-voluntary circumcision (as I am the victim of such)
- Stopping smoking, it violates the rights of non-smokers
- Promoting the awesomeness of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
[edit] Quotes/Misc
- "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" -- Benjamin Franklin
- "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" -- Article 11, US Treaty With Tripoli 1796
- “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?” - Epicurus
- Circumcision is Genital mutilation - All Claims to the contrary are based off bad science, and effects that can be gained via non-invasive means (like wearing a condom)

[edit] Derek Meek vs Derek Smart
So once upon a time, Derek Smart threatened (baseless) legal action against me. This information is being censored from his article by a fanboi of his who accuses me of not knowing what I'm talking about. Laughable.
His threat:
- "Let me assure you of one thing that you can go to sleep with tonite. I have FULL intentions of getting this license. If I DO get it, you and your teenny leetle friends on your Ferrous Oxide project, are effectively, shutdown because I don't piss around when it comes to IP properties. You would do well to ask around. I've sued publishers for less and I have attorneys around the world, literally on speed dial." - Derek Smart
My reply (which is on the same page as Derek Smart's original post) was
- "First it's name is Ferrium, and you know this
- Second being that the code is completely my groups, completely from scratch - and that we were only :porting FS2 to it we can easily drop support for FS2 and only port The Babylon Project and the Wing :Commander Saga, along with our own dataset.
- There is no FreeSpace IP involved in the developement of the Ferrium engine, infact the code for the FreeSpace engine doesn't even belong to Interplay, it belongs to Volition, and there is no direct code-copying involved in the ferrium project to not even Volition's IP, which is clearly not yours, will be tainting Ferrium.
- You want to act like you have IP knowledge, when it's clear you do not. I challenge you do sue me for making an IP Violation when I haven't had one, I will make sure to press full slander charges and get you to pay my court costs when you lose both cases."
pwnd :D
