About
What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
I chose my nickname because I dig Diogenes of Sinope. His life was "a relentless campaign to debunk the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt society." I do something similar, except instead of giving up my possessions and preaching the doctrine of virtuous self-control, I complain to my friends.
Things I like: Science, Unitarian Universalism, Humanism, Krugmanism
Things I dislike: Movement Conservatism, Freshwater Economics
