User:Rednblu/Good faith

The approach taken by User:Rednblu to Wikipedia discussions and editing leads some Wikipedians to believe the Rednblu account is not being operated by a person whose beliefs are represented in good faith at User:Rednblu. This page exists to support the insistence of User:Rednblu that his point of view is as he states. Feel free to add supportive statements here. Please keep all questions and requests for additional information on the talk page.

I, Tom Haws (my real life name), assert that I have knowledge of semi-private facts that indicate to my satisfaction this version of User:Rednblu is a good faith expression of belief by the person who operates the Rednblu account. At the very least, I can certify that in his real professional life, User:Rednblu appears the atheist every bit as he does at Wikipedia, and argues favorably for religious points of view in much the same way as at Wikipedia. As User:Rednblu prefers to maintain general separation between his real life identity and his Rednblu identity, I will not provide any direct references. But I list below in general terms the basis for my knowledge. To avoid confusion, I will use the name IRLRednblu to denote what is by presumption the In Real Life person behind Rednblu.


 * IRLRednblu has published with colleagues enough material to demonstrate obviously his atheistic views. Some of it is available on the World Wide Web as of the time I am writing this.
 * I am in possession of an e-mail to me dated 2005-04-04 from a receptionist at the real life workplace of Rednblu. In that e-mail, IRLRednblu's receptionist provided an e-mail address and telephone number for contacting Rednblu.  I e-mailed IRLRednblu and received verification that he operates the User:Rednblu account at Wikipedia.
 * There is a published article on the World Wide Web (projecting a very atheistic attitude) that is attributed to IRLRednblu and a colleague, and that has one "rednblu@....com" listed as the contact for feedback.

I am pleased at any time with the permission of User:Rednblu to provide additional information to any Wikipedian. --Tom Haws 21:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
