Comparison of "perfectly valid contributions" for judging:
TMC: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target...
Isis: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target...
Me: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target...
TMC states on his user page that he believes the Wikipedia is "doomed to to failure at worst or uselessness at best" and explicitly states his opposition to NPOV. Despite his pose of bold nihilism, and his pretense that the name is pure poultry, he is so embarrassed by his user name that he never uses it, even on his own pages.
