. . . mostly Smith brothers. Two accounts are clearly and admittedly Oliver D. Smith. The others are, from long-term behavioral patterns, Darryl L. Smith.

A thread with extensive participation.

Abd Lomax created the global ban list yet is suing the Wikimedia Foundation for putting his name on it

Just to make it clear, the claim here was highly misleading.

I created a global ban list, covering community ban discussions, with results. The office ban list was created later by the WMF.
The WMF transcluded that list into the page I created. I never added the name of any office-banned user to that list.
Later, I noted that several people who had been banned or subject to a proposed ban were later banned by the WMF. It was pure information, not intended as defamatory. If the office bans were defamatory (I’m claiming that the publication is defamatory), my action did not increase it.
I have sued the Foundation over publishing a ban with no foundation, defamatory in context. They have the legal right to ban anyone they choose, as Section 230 of the CDA is interpreted, but that does not give them the right to publish it.

Real people commenting on Sept. 2 post
(i.e., persons with known identity)

1. Oliver D. Smith, admitted, many comments listed above as ageofempires858585 [deleted] 36 comments. VortexMel [deleted], later, is clearly Oliver, I doubt there is another person on the planet who would do such a perfect imitation.
2. Abd ul-Rahman Lomax (Abdlomax) 52 comments
3. Arthur Kerensa (Dysklyver) 12 comments
4. Michael D. Suarez (michaeldsuarez) 8 comments
5. Darryl L. Smith (many accounts, probably most throwaways other than Oliver). Identity from behavior, not admitted.
6. Rome Viharo, identity reasonably obvious, as wqtjja

  • 18:45:32 10 Oct 2019 RationalWiki_is_shit Darryl asks his brother, Oliver a question, knowing the answer Oliver will give. Or so it appeared. Later, there is a strong indication that this account is Oliver. It is also possible that the brothers trade accounts to intensify the smokescreen.
  • 20:57:20 10 Oct 2019 NotVortexMel Oliver answers as expected. It is a lie. I specifically identify certain socks as Mikemikev. But Oliver has lied about Mikemikev socks in the past, he created a list of them, and included socks that he later admitted were him. Many of those listed socks, as well, were actually his brother. Nothing these brothers say can be trusted unless carefully verified.

  • (The Smith brothers, apparently twins, will track a target and find a place where they think someone would be sympathetic to their trolling, they create accounts pretending interest in the topics and then cite the article they created on RationalWiki. This is all massively documented, widely known, and the issue is currently in U.S. Federal court. Google Oliver D. Smith and Darryl L. Smith, or ask here if interested. They have created thousands of sock puppets, that is not hyperbole or exaggeration. My opinion is that most of the socks are Darryl, but Oliver has been much more open about his identity and is better known.

mentioned by a throwaway, other than the above:

• oliversmithantifa parody sock, easily could be Mikemikev. Not an impersonation because nobody would think this was Oliver.

After quite a delay, they are at it again.

If anyone wants a detailed response to any of the highly repetitive comments from all these throwaway accounts, comment here and I will look at what is requested.

(see also the Encyclopedia Dramatica account Mini Abd) (ED is down at this point, might recover, might not. To be clear, contrary to claims, I was not banned there, was only blocked for a time, was unblocked even before it went down the first time last year.)

General comment on Smith throwaway accounts

Darryl L. Smith, joined at times by his twin brother Oliver D. Smith (the latter being quite well-known and banned in many places, both brothers being long-term abusers on WMF Wikis (known as Anglo Pyramidologist), has engaged in a campaign of harassment against me since late 2017, when I exposed his impersonation socking on Wikipedia. It’s a long story, and it is covered briefly in the lawsuit filings, Lomax v. WMF.

On Reddit, he uses throwaway accounts, spamming many subs, highly repetitive — each account normally only is active for a very short time, often one post, but the style and message remains the same. These accounts observed since September 2019 are listed above.

He created the article on RationalWiki and evidences are cited which have been collected from many years of activity, based on shallow appearance. If any regular Redditor is tempted to accept those at face value, ask me, PM on Reddit or comment below. All these issues have been covered at length on the blog, but, indeed at length, so I will give brief summaries if asked.
