Declaration of bias
- I consider myself a non-secular humanist and classical liberal
- I strive for a Wikipedia that is devoid of bias, that celebrates diversity, and that is based on tolerance and respect for an individual's freedom.

Editors that rub me the wrong way
Some editors at WP, definitively rub me the wrong way.
Who are they? I am sure they must know by now...
I just hope I can grow a thicker skin, be less surprised at the variety of POVs that differ from mine, and be overall more patience with these that do.
