Hello from a wonk

[Wonky Pundit]

If you were expecting a tell-all introduction, sorry. I'm going to tell you only a couple of things about myself. First, I'm a political junkie who likes to follow and talk about issues. Second, I don't believe in liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism or authoritarianism: I believe only in what makes the most sense in a particular context. Sometimes it's one of these four, sometimes it's a combination, and sometimes it's none.

I don't mean to be secretive or rude. I just believe that who I am is totally irrelevant when it comes to discussing a political issue - as it should be. Nor do I think there's anything at all wrong with socializing online. It's just not what I come to a political forum to do. The other stuff I save for places like Facebook. By the way, that's also why I never use rep systems on boards. So please don't be offended if you rep me and I don't return the favor.

Finally, here's my pledge to all of you. I will not insult or otherwise talk smack about anyone other than a public figure (they're fair game). If you want to debate a point with me in a civil, respectful way, I will be thrilled to reciprocate. On the other hand, if you're yet another loudmouth who hopes to get someone else into your flame wars, I will simply put you on my ignore list.

I hope I can find at least a few other folks around here in the first category.

Based on your post, your anality level seems to be rather high. You definitely won't like me.

You'll have to troll in my threads and repeatedly flame me first.

Mine is green. However, that fact has nothing to do with my views on environmental policy.

When it comes to political discussion, I am definitely anal. I take it seriously.

If that bothers you, there's a very easy fix: don't talk to me!

Oh, I believe they all exist. I'm just not some sheep who swallows any one of them whole.

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen english swallow?

Given my complete lack of interest in ornithology, I am unable to come up with a reason to care.

You will never get past the rabbit that bites peoples heads off... In your quest for the Holy Grail.
