John H Gohde: too old to change, too dumb to learn.
We have an apology to make.
Pride comes before a fall, and we were proud of what we’d done here. So proud, we honestly believed that there was no-one else who could create a website that would be better at proving what a numbskull John Gohde was.
Fact is, we were plain wrong.
There is someone else out there even more committed than us to publicise how bitter, angry, vicious and stupid John Gohde really is.
There is someone else who makes him look even more of an idiot than we do.
Your first reaction will be: wow. Also, your second. And your third.
Let’s distill this bitterness down.
1. According to John H. Gohde, in his revisionist version of recent history, three of his four expulsions from Wikipedia were gross injustices, perpetuated by admins who are “stupid, little mentally ill troll[s]”
2. What is more, these gross miscarriages of justice inhibited Gohde’s constitutional right to free speech. (To recap on John Gohde’s definition of free speech: it’s only the right for him to say things like “When your brain is fucked up enough to be gay, then every aspect of your life is totally fucked!” or “women should NOT be allowed to vote” or “exactly how many nigger dicks have you sucked in your life ?”. On the other hand, he’s tried repeatedly to get this website closed down, when we bring together his abusive comments from his 14-year Usenet trolling campaign.)
3. There happen to be some websites that criticise Wikipedia. Because of this, that makes Wikipedia wrong for not tolerating his abusive trolling, or his anonymous vandalism of wikipedia pages from the IP address of the offices of Refugee & Immigration Services in Richmond, Virginia. But what Gohde simply can’t grasp is that the enemy of his enemy is not necessarily his friend. Contributors to forums such as Wikipedia Review (and that includes some of us here) despise racism, despise sexism and despise bigotry as much as everyone else.
4. His Wikipedia career - which involves four bans totaling 28 months, and being the very first person brought to arbitration there - was in fact “very successful” and “another success story for John H. Gohde”. (Stop sniggering at the back). He intends to return after his ban, and he expects to be banned again. This will indicate an even greater success, and finally affirm John Gohde as one of the modern day geniuses. (Or, that he’s an old dumb troll. One of the two, anyhoo)
5. Oh, and “Wikipedia is a cesspool of the mentally ill bent upon wasting tons of time doing absolutely nothing.” He even seems to be able to say this with a straight face, and with no apparent irony.
PS. New here ? Here’s John Gohde’s biography.
PPS. Oh and John ? Whoever “Gohdeilocks” is, or was, it’s not one of us…(but you met two of us in your most recent spell on Wikipedia.)
