There's a funny thread about this on /r/stupidpol/.

Fellas, is it misogyny to want freedom of speech online?

Yes. It’s also internalized racism.

This isn't wondrous, but it did leave me wondering, is Tom Schueller (T-H-L) getting younger?

After doing a search for the image on the left, I found out it's actually Robert Osterhaus (T-H-L). It's been mislabeled for 12 years.

Musk chimes in.

At least he didn't confuse you with Don Murphy (T-H-L), who was an old friend of wikipedia review.

Slight diversion, but there is something funny about it... there is a 'Last activity' field in a members' profile. But it doesn't seem visible all the time.

Gila doesn't have anything to do with Aron Brand? They both extensively edited Natan Brand (T-H-L), CTERA Networks and Cisco Videoscape (T-H-L) along with several others. Pesahplate, uploaded to commons as "own work" by Gila, lists Aron Brand as the author. That all seems suspicious.
