Thank you for running for the hardest and most thankless job on the project. Many of these questions are sourced from actual cases, discussions, and problems over the past year. Enjoy!

Questions from GrammarFascist

 * Turning the question around on me is entirely fair. I actually chose the username GrammarFascist thinking it would be less likely to offend, but you're not the first person to question it. It's meant as a simple play on words referencing the common colloquialism "grammar nazi", which is not considered related to actual Nazism and which is even found in other languages. I am emphatically not an actual fascist or Nazi and disagree with every tenet of fascist and Nazi beliefs. Being a queer brown cripple with both physical and developmental disabilities, I would have been targeted for extermination by the Third Reich, so it would be against my self-interest to support such ideas. I would certainly understand if someone was offended by my username, and I would apologize for offending them if it ever happened... but I've had this username since 2011, and no one has said they were offended yet. Thanks for the opportunity to explain. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 21:29, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
