You will note that this site makes frequent mention of achievements I have made during the course of my life, including the acquisition of a number of academic degrees. This should not be construed as a presentation of any sense of superiority and should be taken as information on the areas in which I have specialist knowledge and experiences I am willing to share with others.
Should you wish to use or quote any information from this site on the basis of ‘fair use’ you agree it shall be on the basis that is will not compromise my rights to privacy of my home or correspondence, or to express anything which may question my reputation including but not limited to my impartiality as a scientist, academic, and social entrepreneur. In addition fair use does not exist for any purpose that would go against my religious beliefs, such as one of my six deadly sins.
Title II – I Value Facilitating Understanding
Through this website I hope to provide you with information regarding my opinion on different issues, particularly relating to information technology, the arts, law and sciences. While this information is provided from the point of view of professionally attained expertise is should not be considered a type of legal or other advice, which should be sought from appropriate sources such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, Community Legal Service, or Consumers Direct.
I reserve the right to add or remove any comment in the interests of fairness, balance, accuracy and decency. This is to ensure that debates through the online community features on this site are not dominated by a single person or point of view so that everyone gets the chance to express themselves and hear all sides of the debate.

Title IV – I Value Facilitating Aspiration
I understand that I provide an excellent range of information and opinion to inform debates in various forms of media, including text, video and audio. You may make comment in the moment and then want to retract the post after experiencing doubt about your decision. Providing you notify me within 7 days of posting that you no long wish that comment to be active I will gladly remove it. After that time, providing the opinion is not expressed elsewhere, such as in a blog linked to this site, such as through trackbacks, it becomes my property for the purpose it was originally collected, which is to facilitate debate. Any comment or material posted to this site, whether by I or anyone else, should be considered to be provided without prejudice. That is, it cannot be used as evidence in a court of law, particularly where doing so would bring into question someone’s reputation, their honesty or their integrity.
