Why would anyone consider a topic ban against me for responding to a topic that was brought up by another forum member? Support topic ban for wwho from WO, broadly construed ;) Naah, he's fine. I mean, he's certainly learned a lot over the years about Wikipedia-based argument technique - use the wor...

Hi Jake, I would like to remind you that it is you that re-introduced this line of dialogue, so I want to point that out before members of the community here go on another jihad. Every time you make that accusation about this forum, you put us on the defensive. Why do you do that? It's not an accusa...

WWHP

To me, at least, whoever is behind the impersonation accounts on Reddit strikes me as the most obsessive and, by extension, potentially dangerous participant in this dispute, and I don't believe we're engaging with them, at least not directly. I'm glad that the forum here is getting a small taste o...

A comment for Wikipedia We Have a Problem... It seems to me that a lot of the problem you are having with trolls relates to you feeding them so well. Just fucking ignore them and get on with your life. And this: why are you here? RfB Fair question. I don't have a problem with trolls, they have a pr...

@Vigalante: So the fan club that you were happily bragging about last week is now impersonating you on Reddit, posting the usual misinformation about me. https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/btq5hq/banned_wikipedia_user_rome_viharo_posted_his_own/ Congrats, this means you're now in the loo...

Hi, thanks for asking WWHP, since this thread has turned to talking about you, why did you post the same thing eight times in a row on reddit last week , then delete your account? Are you aware that one of the key strategies of the Smiths is to impersonate other people on forums around the internet?...

WWHP

The Smiths archive most operations they do, a peculiar and consistent pattern. It often works against them.

Since this missing thread that I started and cannot be found now was one of their operations, they archived it.

@Midsize Jake. Voila https://archive.is/cZQdp

(thx amigo for the heads up)

WWHP

yes, it can be called a successful trolling attempt because their point was to get the thread deleted, and it worked. check the bins, you'll find it. I already said that I'd checked the "bins." We have two threads that mention your name in the "trash forum," except that they're from 2015 and 2016, ...

And to Crow, I just don't give a shit about this particular subdrama. I know who the dimwit Smith brothers are and I know who mikemikev is and I know who vordrak is and about the autism legion of doom. I've spent my time browsing on PoE, SA, ED, the farms, etc. I've laughed at the incessant and unr...

WWHP

Bye Felicia. Don't worry Vig, the community will split the thread, project the shadow onto me, complain what an annoying troll I am and how much I disrupted a conversation, and continue to enable your toxic personality because they all know you will cry until you get your way. The facts are that th...

I believe WWHP's is bringing up a broader scope that does need its own thread. IMHO If someone in this forum wants to start that thread, and invite me in good faith to participate, I will. However, last time I attempted to present this case, the thread was deleted. I have no reason to expect good f...

This is a standard ad hominem attack. Who cares if the author is a shitty person. He probably is. OMG is there really that much of a lack of self reflection on your part? Are your projections really this gross and obvious? Dude, you've done nothing but lay solely personal attacks, i.e. ad hominem a...

WWHP

This guy nails it. You should listen and pay attention here. Vigilante, that "guy" you are quoting is literally one of the other most disturbing alt right trolls I have met and was apart of the KiwiFarms Candyce Lynn troll operation, which partnered with Oliver Smith and was going around publishing...

WWHP

https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Talk:Rome_Viharo Dude. I can see why you've made common cause with Abd. Can you write anything in less than novel format? You will notice my responses to you are quite short, due to your reading comprehension and all. If you see a post with too many words, that mean...

WWHP

The Smith brothers - the new Red Scare. Looking through their 'efforts', they look like obvious internet trolls. That you see them under every bush and inflate their influence just makes you and Abd look like soft headed tools. Nah, I find them exactly where THE LINKS show them doing what they do a...

Speaking to plants, literally. Plants as conscious entities. Of course it's only after they partake of the psychoactive plant that they are able to 'understand' these plants...

Sure, when an uncomfortable truth comes up, let's see how we can limit the participation of the person bringing up the uncomfortable truth.

WWHP

Hi, Here's the thing. I probably shouldn't admit this, but we don't actually delete threads that turn into clusterf***s here, we put them in this special trash-dump forum so we can refer to them later in case a situation like this comes up. Since I'm a site admin now, they would turn up on any searc...

But "whiny" or "sniveling" — about anything ever? Nope. Lol, okay dude, whatever word you want to apply to someone "complaining" ad nauseum, I'm sure that only applies to me and not you or anyone on this forum. I dont mind abrasive, I just mind when it is ONLY personal attacks and not even a hint o...

WWHP

J None of that changes the fact that you're still whiny and verbose and in the wrong fucking thread. Make your own to snivel about how mean some semi-professional trolls were to you. You misinterpret. I'm not posting this to "snivel", I posted this in response to Midsize's inquiry; WO was duped by ...

WWHP

Some of these individuals (such as Anatoly Karlin) really are quite unsavory, but mixed in with the actual far-right individuals are other people who don't necessarily deserve to be targeted in this way. Other than present company included, one person targeted by Oliver and/or Darryl who absolutely...

Darryl Smith tho, has been spamming r/WikiInAction using many accounts while saying Abd and Mikemikev did it... <snip> ...yes there are many threads Indeed. Are they ramping up on this now because they think some sort of preliminary hearing is imminent? Earlier in the thread, I suggested that the j...

Hi Mid size Jake, I missed this earlier, apologies. This is a bit long, but so was your post. I'm glad you brought this up. They've been here, I have no idea where to find the threads. By trouble, I mean targeting me, for example. Look, I don't know why you would suggest something like this, but you...

You're not wrong about that, but that doesn't make Abd any less of a loon. Well, he is crazy enough to file a case against the WikiMedia Foundation and bring attention to the issue. He is crazy enough to due diligence on a very disturbing troll farm operating on Wikipedia and RationalWiki and did s...

I'm no attorney, but I don't see how this dismissal would create any preceden I said the precedents used in this case not that this would in itself create a precedent. That's for appellate courts and sometimes federal trial decisions. I probably should have said "case law" instead. Perhaps, either ...

WWHP

The problem is Abd is just going to make it more difficult for others to make a point the way he is going about this. A reasonable concern I suppose, but how so? It's mainly about the legal process. I know you feel that Vigilant is too abrasive for your tastes but has been extremely on point in thi...

Apparently, I have a fan on r/wikiinaction. https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/bqnfz7/dennis_george_lomax_aka_abd_ulrahman_lomax/ Case in point.

No attorney is repping him because a case like this is at least $1M - $2M to follow through on and $250k just to get the conversation going. Abd is doing this to make a point. I hope more do something similar.

WWHP

You’re in the wrong thread, boy. Your pity party is somewhere else. "Boy". I see. That must make you the "man"? Okay, big man, I'm in the correct thread, as this is a case that I have background story on, and have more clarity on than most here. I'm not seeking "pity" I am addressing the unintended...

He's simply a terrible person who turns every venue he visits into a cesspit. So you're saying he deserves being targeted by the Smiths? That he has no right to expect a pathway to recourse?

WWHP

Yes, it is completely unthinkable that the editor who has literally sued the WMF would run around the wiki posting legal threats. Unlikely and unthinkable are not the same thing. ABD has a right to sue someone, so do I and a number of others. WMF suit is probably not going to work, everyone knows t...

I just found Michael Suarez's post about this and he sums it up better than I, this is copied from another post here Abd's ban is unjust.

they've even used this forum to stir up trouble, successfully I might add. Really...? What kind of trouble did they stir up?

There seems to be more going on here, particularly as regards to two individuals he names as Oliver and Darryl Smith (the "Smith brothers"), who for some reason want to refer to him on RationalWiki as the "King of Trolls."
