I'll take up that challenge. I make no guarantee that I'll succeed (because I don't know what your definition of a "quality paragraph" is), but I'll give it a try.

First, let's start with the obvious. He is apparently a fan of the nWo. He is a wrestling fan in general. And I assume his real name is Chris. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada which is incidentally also where PureEvil and the late RECVXZERO and LoudHowardZERO live.

He is not only a fan of wrestling but also a follower of sports in general (and don't you dare suggest that wrestling is not a sport. Chris can make very good arguments against that). I've seen him talk about hockey and basketball as well, and he seems pretty well informed (not that I would know). I can't remember if I've ever seen him talk about American football. In any case, I don't know much about the teams or athletes that he roots for except that he usually supports the Canadians if they are around and has been called a Hogan fan (I assume that means Hulk Hogan).

I don't know what the Canadian party system is like, but he would probably be a solid Republican in the United States. He fully supported the war in Afghanistan and was not concerned about civilian casualties. I can't tell if he's homophobic or just more vocal in expressing the aversion most of us feel when we really think about the idea. In most ethical debates, he advocates valuing the self over others (social capitalism, you might say). The only way he differs from your stereotypical Republican is he doesn't believe in God. He got a lot of flak for that one.

I think he may have been around Nintendose even before I arrived (not saying much, perhaps, but there are quite a few members at GT who weren't even members of Nintendose). Even back then, I remember that nWoCHRISnWo was still defending professional wrestlers from the critics there. He moved to GameTavern when Nintendose shut down, and some percentage of his current post count is made up of transferred posts from Nintendose. He has since spent most of his time in the Sports Forum. His vocal support of that forum kept it from being integrated back into the General Forum, and I am told that he basically keeps it alive. So he is a natural choice for moderator of the Sports Forum, even though it took him a while to get that job (I don't know whether he even wanted it before).

A couple other tidbits: he's one of the valiant people who doesn't post slavering replies in "Hot Babes" threads where pictures of scantily clad women are posted. If you flame Canada, he probably doesn't like you. And last time he talked about GameMaster, he still didn't know whether GameMaster was a boy or a girl (for future reference, Chris, GameMaster is a boy). And he hasn't posted in the Staff Forum (or if he did, I missed it). He seems to be a fan of action movies, and has stated that he would rather die than watch a movie like A Beautiful Mind.

How's that?
