who is dicta?

one aspect of blogging is the ability to be anonymous if you so choose. i have gone with the semi-anonymous route, meaning if i post a comment on someone else's blog i'll use my real name, dicta, rather than posting as "anonymous," which is really annoying. i think people should back up their statements, and if they are too insecure to do so, then they dont belong in the blogging universe. at least not my blog, which has a spine. i have not, however, added a profile picture, though i have thought about it at times. as i gain a more faithful readership (by which i mean more faithful than the nothing it once was), do i owe a duty to quench the curiousity thirst of my readers? it's a tough question, so rather than think about it, i've decided to cave in to the unending pressures of the blogosphere. so, without further ado, i present to you...dicta:
