DoctorMike

My name is Michael Russell, and I am a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist practicing in Southern Virginia. I have been a long time user of Misplaced Pages, but only recently started actively posting, researching, and participating in the back end of the product. I am willing to devote the time to Misplaced Pages, because I believe it is a noble and worthwhile project.

Growing up in an academic environment where one is expected to be "peer reviewed", I am amazed that this system works as well as it does. I am concerned that the internet seems to be spawning pressure groups pushing for their particular positions or advocacy, and that further many of these seem willing to take liberty with facts in an "end justifies the means" point of view. I watch on-line polls being "pushed" daily, ratings played with at Amazon or IMDB, and have no doubt this happens here as well. I do not support distortion of fact to make a case--if your argument can't be made with facts, it probably needs to be reconsidered.

I will be as fair and as unbiased as possible, and see no reason legitimate conflicts can't often be included in Wiki articles as a discussion, to the satisfaction of all concerned that they have been heard, which is probably the best way to solve many of these conflicts.

I am 47 years old, graduate of the University of Washington (Seattle).

  3. Support Meekohi 13:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
  4. Support His professional experience and his thoughts about manipulation are exactly the sorts of ideas (and ideals) we need to try to stay focused on. --JohnDBuell 03:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  5. Support I love his reference to peer-reviewed journals. It shows that he understands the role of the arbcom as, effectively, the peer reviewers for an otherwise anarchical encyclopedia. And he doesn't suffer from the delusion that his position is, well, that of a therapist. Anybody who has the honesty and astuteness to say, "f your argument can't be made with facts, it probably needs to be reconsidered," deserves the position. Corax 05:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
