Interpreted (formerly Wikinterpreter) was a well-established user of RationalWiki, known for his friendliness and rationality, but also for his odd attraction to epic trolling of sites such as Stormfront and Metapedia, like an internet hate machine. He may also have coined the phrase 'liaise with the cabal',[2] motto of rationalwiki.info ([1]) and the RationalWiki Forums ([2]), but it was in fact presented as just a random comment post-facto, in order to wind up the Conservapedia admins, since he joined the Cabal at the beginning of RW 2.0, a mere month after it was loosely formed.
Amazingly, he was also one of the few users so eager to see his name in lights that he actually wrote his own self-serving thumbnail as can be seen above. Bad Wikinterpreter, bad.
Anyway, the user previously known as Wikinterpreter signed off with an indecipherable username which now takes us to "Interpreted". There is probably some profound significance to all this that passes mere mortals by. (He had his user name changed because he now interprets more than just wikis, apparently.)
As one of the few Christian experts at RW he was fluent in ancient Greek, biblical Hebrew, Latin and early Indo-European. His most recent project was to produce a RationalWiki translation of the bible in Sanskrit. Unfortunately, this was one of the few dead languages in which he is not fluent. Consequently he had arranged to have the technical assistance of AKjeldsen and Researcher, and theological advice from closet Christians SusanG and Icewedge.
Sometime around Dec. 29, 2007, Wikinterpreter had his fine self renamed "Interpreted". His signature is still a series of unintelligible squiggles, though, so it's not that noticeable.
Interpreted went missing in the wilderness after 15 December 2008, but returned for a spell on 31 October 2009.[3]
Popped in again in early Nov. 2011
