Who are the leaders of Wikipedia?

Back in 1995, when I was born, Gerard was my age...an Australian sci-fi fan and early career sysadmin, a proudly weird bisexual and polyamorous goth

He hammered out much of the essay’s content with his fellow Wikipedia editor and close friend, a pre-transition trans woman who would later become known as Elizabeth Sandifer.

The article goes on at length to discuss how this sexual deviant abused his position as an admin in Wikipedia to skew articles against people he didn't like, including doxxing a few individuals both personally and in conjunction with his tranny freak friend.

Ultimately, after much handwringing and debate it seems like the only punishment he got was being barred from editing a page about someone who he had a personal grudge against and had contributed material to the NYT to help them write a hit piece on- citing the article he himself had contributed to as a source.

What a retarded, disgusting, broken wreck of a human being. And how dysfunctional and toothless must the leadership of Wikipedia be to not do anything about it?

How did I know he was a sexual deviant doing his “job” with one hand like most reddit mods?

This wikipedo is quite the character. He was hugely influential insider and drama mongerer in WP's early days but he fell out with the in crowd to a certain extent. He's also a GG opponent, but I don't know how involved he was with pozzing the article in 2014.

The most amazing yet predictable thing is that this guy is 57 year old, almost 60 year old manchild boomer. This really proves nobody completely matures even when they are full grown adult. No wonder western society is in decline because who knows how many people like this govern the countries.

Quillette editor has discovered that :

Some vindictive maniac who has a grudge with the rationalist movement has effectively banned @Quillette, @thefp, @freebeacon, from being used as sources on Wikipedia -- whereas TeenVogue is characterised as 'solid' 😑

Just as a heads up, the writer of this article is the same guy who spun up an entire hoax about furry bullshit in Texas classrooms to sell to Libs of TikTok and then celebrated about this afterwards.

He's also a gay furry Ex-Morman. So. Y'know. Take whatever it is he says with a grain of salt.

I'm not going to say he's wrong, mind, but I've hung out and currently hang out on forums the writer frequents - he just posted on this article, actually - and he tends to act very thin-skinned, primma-donna, 'I'm taking my ball and going to my own playground' attitude(only to come crawling back months later).

I've seen it repeated enough over the years that everything he does tends to get a very skeptical side-eye.

The venom-spitting hatred these psychotics have for the "rationalist" movement which is really just the most milquetoast bunch of liberal dweebs never fails to baffle me.

I wasn't even aware there was a modern day rationalist movement. What kind of rationalism is it supposed to be?

It's basically a bunch of edgy atheists who got a lot less edgy when they joined the feminist religion.

Nah, they're the atheists who got excommunicated for rejecting feminism.

They're still libshits, like thunderfoot and Steven Pinker, and I can admittedly understand why thunderfoot in particular is hated since he's such a smarmy flaming douchebag. But the broader point is that they're the Quillette autists who want experts to run everything, just not those experts, and those experts (Cultural Marxists) are likewise disfainful of "rationalists" for being...not completely insane.

The Quillette/LessWrong crowd, think SlateStarCodex

We fucked up unbelievably badly by letting communists put themselves in charge of the last encyclopedia and make themselves totally invincible.
