I chose this name because I expected to find that WP had been infiltrated by people with a much heavier agenda than mine. Prove me wrong, and you'll prove my name a worthless distraction.
I chose this name because doing so was "honest". People like you know exactly where I am coming from. If you're fair-minded, that makes judgements on my posts easier, not more difficult (am I right?).
I only post in one field because I prefer to give away nothing about my real identity. As a precaution it's useless, the Zionists have vast resources available to track down and harrass people like me. They can again ring prominent people in my neighbourhood and point to what I've posted - but they can no longer pretend to be an individual who just happened to realise it was me.
None of the above need impact on my standing amongst other Wikipedians (though when it's combined with only passable skills as a word-smith, I may simply be ignored anyway!).
There are potentially two good reasons for changing my name (as I've now been asked to do). Perhaps "PalestineRemembered" could impact on people's impressions of WP. Mislead the passer-by into thinking that WP is not dominated by Zionists?
Secondly, WP depends on donations (for which I greatly respect the guy who created this resource!). Does my name tend to hamper WP raising money? Not my place to say, but I'd think it somewhat unlikely. PalestineRemembered 12:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
