AKjeldsen

From RationalWikiWiki

Defender of the Faith
The awards committee at RationalWikiWiki has awarded this user the Henry VIII Defender of the Faith Award

AKjeldsen is the sixth user who appeared in the user creation logs. He is probably one of the cabal members.

Self confessed God-botherer, AKjeldsen is perhaps an unusual figure amongst the atheists and agnostics who make up the majority of the population of RW. Although he is an active editor he usually takes pains not to allow his own beliefs to intrude too much upon the rationalists. However, when he is having a bad day, a streak of holy fire sometimes shows through.

Perhaps because of their differing points of view he is sometimes known to clash with SusanG, their most notable confrontation to date being the Kip the Dip Incident.

He is also the author of the (possibly defunct) Conservapedia column.

[edit] Lack of activity from start of 2009

During much of January AKjeldsen was involved in the debate about community standards. In this, he constantly argued for a more formalised system of accountability and decision making in RationalWiki. In the end he lost out on the debate and the mobocracy and HCM won the day. Since contributing to that debate all we have heard is silence from this user. One might speculate about reasons for his departure:

• He was irritated by the failure of the people on the site to understand his arguments in favor of structured voting.
• He has decided to take no part in the activities in order to see how anti-religious the site will become without his smooth guiding hand. (He implied once that he regarded himself more as an observer than a participant.)
• He is simply busy.
• He has gotten bored with the site.

As he visits us from time to time, it is possible that he would like to drop a note on his talk page.
