[edit] About me

I am a Wikipedia editor with moderate experience, but with lots of passion for projects. I am a stickler for accuracy, the truth, and for fair dealing. But, I call a spade, a spade. If you disagree, I enjoy engaging in logical discussions, but not discussions that get personal (so, no temper tantrums!).

As you can see from my user boxes, I am proud to be an American (by virtue of my birth in the U.S. to an American father) and am equally proud to be a Canadian (by virtue of my birth to a Canadian mother). As a dual citizen, I enjoy sharing in the history and patriotism of my two countries, but also understand that I have myriad responsibilities as a citizen of two separate sovereign nations. I am descended from the MacDowall sept of Clan MacDougall, and have a keen interest in the history of my ancestors in Scotland and England.
