I also have zero tolerance for
 +
*Idiotic behavior.
 +
*Sycophancy.  I note in particular those people that try to take Andy's side in controversies over relativity, but run away when asked questions that require actual understanding of the subject.  It's really very transparent.  I've developed good "spider sense" on this issue.  More on this topic below.
 +
*Childish behavior.  Children should be seen and not <s>heard</s> given block authority.

So here are some essays that eschew claptrap:
 +
 
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to Counterexamples to Relativity]]
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to Attempts to prove E=mc²]]
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to Logical Flaws in E%3Dmc²]]
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to Biblical scientific foreknowledge]]
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to the "Calming the Storm" essay]]
 +
*[[Essay:Rebuttal to Counterexamples to an Old Earth]]
 +
*[[Essay:Commentary on Conservapedia's article on the second law of thermodynamics]]

At present, I make edits to those things that I believe I can improve (mostly [[science]] and [[math]]) and stay away from those things that are utterly hopeless (like [[evolution]], [[creationism]], and why year 20XX is going to be the worst year ever for evolution or [[atheism]] or whatever.)  I also (believe it or not, and some people don't) try to encourage well-intentioned new users, and try to make this a more orderly and friendly place.  I also engage in a lot of good-natured banter with Cons.  I also occasionally find myself amused by the way [[User:VargasMilan|some users]] seem to [[User_talk:SamHB#Apology|stalk]] [http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Main_Page&diff=1110822&oldid=1110821 me].

 +
I am seriously "behind the curve" on the latest high-tech gadgetry.  I do not own any kind of smartphone, Android, or other similar teenagers' playthings.  I own a laptop computer (several of them in fact) and am quite literate about actual computer science.  I do not have "FIOS" or any similar things; just plain cable internet.  I do not use things like Skype or Instant Messaging (or Tinder, or Facebook, or SnapChat, or Pinterest, or Twitter ..., though I have, under duress, used IM at work.  However, I am capable of high-bandwidth communication with people through email, using attachments when the information transfer quantity requires it.  People desiring to contact me are strongly encouraged to use the email account given above.
 +
 
 +
In addition to the email above, I have accounts, all under the same name (SamHB) at Wikipedia, Wikiversity, <s>Ameriwiki (I am an administrator)</s>, and that other place that rhymes with "national picky".

There is a section about the Daily Beast article on my [[User_talk:SamHB|talk page]].  It was originally on mainpage talk, and seems to have disappeared.

A few words about vandalism and parody in science and math articles.  There's a lot of it.  I have reverted a lot of it.  Just in the last few weeks I cleaned up some parody in the articles on Calcium and on Gabriel's horn.  (Well, in the latter case I just pointed it out.)  ''Both parodists' accounts are still active.''
 +
 
 +
Furthermore, I would like to point out that there is a lot more parody in math and science articles.  It's just too much for one person to fix.

Wait!  He was going to use some kind of "voice changing software" to rig up a Skype conference call with me in order to "prove" that he is multiple people??????  Really?

He seems to have made his last contribution on December 26, 2008.  He was blocked at 19:19 on December 31, two minutes after I was blocked for being a sock of him.  I never knew who he was.  Looking through his block log, he seems to have gotten into fights with sysops and admins to an astounding degree, suggesting that he was, at heart, just a troublemaker.  He seems to have dabbled in "light science" topics, but our paths don't seem to have crossed.

==The Bugler/LowKey incident==
 +
 +
User "Bugler" was an extremely brutish user who climbed the status ladder at Conservapedia rather quickly, developing a reputation for blocking people and generally being destructive.  He very nearly made it to "administrator", the rank currently held by only a few people&mdash;Andy, Ed Poor, Karajou, JPatt, Conservative, and a few other inactive people.  At the end of the process, while being interviewed by Andy and asked his real name, he apparently said it was "Brian Ugler", thereby unmasking himself as a vandal and parodist of the worst kind.  He was immediately banished, of course.
 +
 +
User "LowKey" was one of Bugler's frequent victims, and complained at length on his user page, before Bugler's fall.  Lowkey's user page, as of 12 January, 2009, may be found [[User:SamHB/BuglerLowKey|here]].  I am saving it because it is in danger of being vaped.
