I am Kurt. I used to edit here a lot (and in the process made a lot of ignorant and hurtful remarks which I regret and of which I am quite ashamed); eventually, I realized how wrongheaded I had been. I'm now getting on with my life, working on a Ph.D., and am much happier than I used to be.

Hi, I'm Kurt Weber, wikipedian-sort of and denizen of #wikipedia on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).

I am a Libertarian and a resident of ], ] (actually a few miles outside of it).

I am also an economics/history double-major and classics/philosophy double-minor at the ], and an instructor for the ] marching band.

My favorite writers are (in order):
*]
*]
*]

I am also a ].

As of 19:39 CST 17 August 2008, this page has been vandalized 11 times.

== Wikipolitics ==
I am an extreme inclusionist. Only articles that support a small subset of speedy criteria should be deleted:
* Nonsense
* Pure slander

I hold that copyright is not simply a legal or utilitarian construct but an objective moral principle, and thus all individuals are obligated to abide by it totally and absolutely. Thus, I oppose all so-called (but misnamed) "fair use" images and aggressively pursue copyvios. This is not a contradiction with my radical extremist inclusionism, as inclusionism is concerned with what subjects are worthy for articles, not the particular content of those articles.

=== Essays ===
*]--on the harm and insanity of mindless and careless speedying of articles.
*]--why I think people who aren't actively into stub-sorting should just use <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> and let the stub-sorters figure out which topical stub tag is appropriate.
*]--on why people need to worry less about why people come to Misplaced Pages, and what other activities they may participate in besides encyclopedia-writing on Misplaced Pages.
*]--If an admin candidate truly believes adminship is "no big deal", then why would he care if people oppose him?

I am the creator of ], which looks like this:

I created this a few weeks after someone (probably only half-jokingly) suggested it in #wikipedia; however, it has usefulness. Use it where needed, but be prepared to back it up.

"''The most amazing thing in the world is how the company that makes Maglites manages to stay in business.
