User:TheCensorFencer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FCC censors work hard to safeguard Americans against thinking un-American thoughts.

The Name

[edit]
OK, it's a pretty aggressive name. It was actually something like my 30th choice, because I was late to the party, and you people already took all of my ideas. Among the usernames I tried first were Thufir Hawat, Plocostomus, and ScruffyTheJanitor.
TheCensorFencer suits me well, however. I believe that censorship, in nearly all its forms, is highly destructive to the development and maintenance of the human intellect; both for individuals and for societies. I also enjoy constructive linguistic sparring, especially for a cause, and there's no cause like free speech.

The Man

[edit]
But fear not, I do my discursive roughhousing elsewhere. You can always expect me to be easy-going, polite, and focused on making Wikipedia better when you see me in an editing context. I believe quite strongly in the dream that Wikipedia represents, and that dream will only come true if all voices feel safe to be heard.

The Legend

[edit]
Below is your space to engrave the glory of my deeds in letter and line. Sing your praise. Bellow your condemnation. No wrong answers.

And so it did come to pass. . .
