Thanks for the concern, Coordinator. Farmer, by his own admission, doesn't "get" me, and he never will, so I purposely did not respond to him. If he thought about it even a little he would recognize that there could be several possible reasons for why I wrote my profile that way.

I won't respond to stupid questions and I don't need to explain myself to Farmer or anyone else for that matter. Furthermore, Farmer is the last person here I care to converse with. Because of my world view, he has been extremely critical of me in the past, often directed at my person rather than the content of my posts. Furthermore, it's quite obvious to me, based on past posts of his, that he is skeptical about my intentions and has just been waiting for something he can pounce on to show me up.

How else do you explain the fact that on the very day the Movingon article about RISE was posted on that site, he was quick to post a link to it here, not to spread the news about RISE, but to hastily criticize me with out knowing all the facts. The link he put was not to the home page of RISE, but to the "team" page. And what an arrogant comment to make that "at least his education is being put to good use" or words to that effect.

One more thing. Why is that Farmer, over the last year or so, has on several occasions brought my name up in posts, trying to figure out if I'm the person writing a particular anonymous post? The rules here are very clear that pen-names, even multiple pen-names, are allowed. I'm not aware of this happening to anyone else, so why is he allowed to do that to me? It's very hypocritical of him to try and "out" me, when as far as I know, he has never used his real name or initials here.

When I use a name here other than my own, it is usually because I want the message of my post emphasized, as it is that message or comment that is important, not who says it.
