US vs. UK | This user uses "logical quotation marks". Forcing internal punctuation leads to factual errors. It's not a nationalistic style issue! |

Long-time reader, recent member. Wikipedia has been a source of information (and entertainment) for years, and I figure having an account will encourage me to be more helpful in kind.
My primary interests lie in history and computer science, though I am also an avid fiction reader and occasional writer.
I'm often drawn to the role of devil's advocate, trying to poke holes in what appears to be obvious, or majority opinion. Please understand, it may very well be that I agree with a given conclusion, and am arguing solely against the method of supporting that conclusion, such that less flawed arguments can be formed to survive future debate on the topic.
I apologize in advance if my discussion seems A) longwinded and/or B) gruff. Both are tendencies I try to suppress, yet they tend to leak through when I'm rushed or unable to revise/edit fully; both are often the case when sneaking time on Wikipedia. I assure you, in the vast majority of cases, my verbiage is due to an inability to be sufficiently precise in a shorter format, and my misanthropy is general, rather than directed specifically at you.
