Editors in a wider community discussion launched into attacks on Martin. Administrator “Voorts” called Martin a “clown” in a hostile rant. Several editors followed up by making other attacks with administrator “Llywrch” claiming “those around the short-fingered convicted felon” were either clowns or incompetent hacks along with other incendiary political statements. Yet another editor responded to this stating they, including Martin, were “killer clowns” and “literally supporting more than one genocide” at the moment. Editor “Cambalachero” commented in the middle of this discussion to note that Wikipedia’s policies on claims about living people still apply in the discussion, though none of the editors modified their remarks. Administrator “Bishonen” wryly suggested creating a Wikipedia article about the letter itself. Her comments unfavorably referenced an Indian court case against the Foundation and how an article created about the court case had to be pulled down on the order of the court, while suggesting an article about Martin’s letter would more likely stay up. Bishonen has previously used her privileges to favor left-wing editors on the violent far-left Antifa group and the GamerGate anti-corruption movement in gaming. Martin’s Wikipedia page was also vandalized shortly after the letter’s release by non-account users calling him a “Nazi” and a “cuckold” with another labeling him “far-right” repeatedly before an admin, a user with special privileges, locked the page so only registered accounts over a few days old with multiple edits could edit. However, the “far-right” label was soon added back by an admitted Trump critic who added a paragraph labeling Martin a “conspiracy theorist” citing blogs and opinion pieces, despite such sourcing violating policy and the label was also added to the first sentence of Martin’s article.The truth hurts, perhaps someone should start a wiki about it...
