[[Image:Derik userpic.jpg|thumb|250px]]
During the course of his ban, Derik's been reasonable and understanding about the reasons for it, has acknowledged that he needs to reign in the sort of behaviour that fills the Teletraan-1 editors with fury, and has agreed to do so. As such, there's no reason to keep an otherwise extremely valuable editor away.<br/>
If there continues to be a problem, the ban term will be extended to its original duration... but that's not going to be a problem; right, Derik?</small>

Fight the Power

"Objective journalism is one of the main reasons American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. You can't be objective about Nixon." - H.S. Thompson


Derik talks a good game, but he's really a big softy that goes all squooshy inside at the sight of kittens or Emo Boys kissing.

They're not just doing it for attention!

Derik can't spell woth a danm. Did you know Mozilla 2.0 has MS Word-style spell check on textarea boxes?

He can often be found late at night making long chains of minor edits to template pages. Derik doesn't do this at night to be considerate to other people- he just likes to delude himself into thinking he can do something quickly before going to bed, and then skips sleep.

Feel free to yell at him on AIM: ReGenesis0

Things not to message Derik about: (culled from actual conversation)

  • "I just sent an e-mail to the executive producer telling him what he needs to do better."
  • "Did you delete my post?"
  • "I had drunken sex with another dude at a furry convention in Canada, what do I do?"

He's also apparently a Mut-Org, whatever the hell that is.
