To speak to another with consideration, to appear before him with decency and humility, is to honour him; as signs of fear to offend. To speak to him rashly, to do anything before him obscenely, slovenly, impudently is to dishonour. Leviathan, ch X.

I live in Coton and work at the British Antarctic Survey as a Climate modeller. I grew up in Berkhamsted. In a former life I was a mathematician at SEH. In this life, I have a wiki score (http://people.ucsc.edu/~merphant/wikitest.html) of about 56 (heading up).

I've mostly edited climate related pages, which is where most of my wiki-relevant expertise is. I - the long-haired sandal-wearing weirdo-non-conformist - have been doing my best to staunchly defend (with logic, facts and reasoned arguments mostly) the orthodox line. This would have amused my father no end.

My watchlist has now reached 361 items (with Gravity, since you ask) which is the same number of points as are on a Go board. 2004/09/21: now exactly 500. I think I should prune it a bit. I did: its now over 500...

Climate type stuff

User:William_M._Connolley/Wiki_pages_related_to_climate_change

A pile of meteorology related pages, not all of which exist: wind, katabatic wind, hadley cell, coriolis effect, Atmospheric circulation. All are in need of attention. Also High (atmospheric), Low (atmospheric), Thermal equator, Intertropical convergence zone, Scale (spatial), Mesoscale meterology, Synoptic scale meteorology, Convection

Opinion

Working on privately but slowly (comments welcome but leave the text alone)

Workspace for refs on attribution of climate change and others

Notes to self: pages I intend to edit (ha ha, one day...)

Epithets

I have been called:

  • An eco terrorist (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Greenpeace&oldid=4205044)
  • Satanic (http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=40e7c01e%40news.nwl.ac.uk&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dconnolley%2Bgroup:sci.environment.*%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26scoring%3Dd%26selm%3D40e7c01e%2540news.nwl.ac.uk%26rnum%3D2) - but that was on usenet where people are sometimes impolite...
  • A vandal (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Science&diff=6601856&oldid=6601265) - I don't take kindly to that: User:Vsmith is now on my black list.

Hmm, bit of a short list, perhaps I'll attract more flak later...

Stolen things

  • Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25. User:Func
  • There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those who read binary and those who don't. (ditto)

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI

To have done more hurt to a man than he can or is willing to expiate enclineth the doer to hate the sufferer. For he must expect revenge or forgiveness; both which are hateful. [Ch XI].
