self-imposed title "Appreciator" refers to my tendency to be very forgiving with what I see and read in stories, as well as how I like to go out of my way to understand what the developers of a show or game have in mind instead of randomly rant or rave about what I see on the surface through a quick glance; I can appreciate pretty much any type of character and plot element, and if there's something in a story or game I don't like, rather than bitch about it I ignore it so I can focus on the other aspects that are better.

attention or respect to those that happen to like it, on the other hand: As Sonic Sez, "That's no good." :P People won't like you if you insult their favorite franchise just for the sake of having something to randomly rant at, but I can at least say that I'll respect and ignore your misgivings if you provide an understandable reasoning and show you don't have anything stupidly personal against other people that think differently.

Golden Sun is the one series I ended up deciding to embrace completely because I really loved it back when I played the two games back-to-back in 2004 (at a time when my life also happened to become a lot easier since I was coming out of high school x_x). I definitely like high fantasy and magic and

On anything that's a Wiki or something like it, I always try to think from the perspectives of the other people making edits, and if there's someone I disagree with, I look for ways to compromise and collaborate.

Greetings, greetings. I'm Erik Jensen, a 23-year-old (as of August 7) white male editing from
California. Nowadays I rarely do any editing here on Knowledge (XXG), because I'm a sysop at the Golden Sun and Smash Bros. wikia wikis where I spend most of my editing time. And I'm certainly not the type

the sorts, and there's certainly huge examples of that in World of
Warcraft and Lord of the Rings which I pay attention to, but what endeared me to Golden Sun is that, at the same time it felt somewhat complete as a setting and mythos, it has so much potential for future expansion and development.

to spend all day making minor edits to a lot of pages. I pretty much reside only on Wiki-style environments on the
Internet; aside from the above sites listed and occasional comments from me at a Golden Sun forum, you will not find me anywhere else on the Internet, and I am not reachable by email.
59:
The biggest thing I don't like is nonconstructive criticism. Basically, if someone doesn't like something, they would do well to explain how and why, because that feels like a well-supported opinion that can be respected. Straight blanket statements like how something *is* bad, without paying any
