....and Gender Desk was there: https://genderdesk.wordpress.com/2022/0 ... o-florida/
Some quotes:
It has been a long-standing joke on Wikipediocracy that the operation is run out of Greg Kohs’ “fetid basement.” There is even a photo of the place, which even now adorns the Wikipedia “basement” article.
Kohs’ schtick on Wikipediocracy was to be as obnoxious as possible, post as many sleazy pics of women in bikinis as possible, and try to set Jimmy Wales up as a villain, even though the guy has only been a figurehead on Wikipedia for years now. Logic was never a factor. The Kohs playbook was taken from Hoffer’s The True Believer, not Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. He also liked to harass people on Wikipedia and then go back to Wikipediocracy and brag about it, like some little adolescent bully. You can see a few people on the internet still doing it, like Crowsnest and that Lupito guy on Sucks. They don’t have any internal compass, they just play to the stands. It’s funny maybe once or twice, to some people, but in the long run it’s a waste of time, and an appeal to the lowest possible intellect. They do not care about anyone else, they are attention seekers and show-offs. Most people can see through it.
Was there anyone who Kohs did not try to slime? In the end, you cannot trust anything people like this say, since they only say things for effect. They probably don’t even believe any of it themselves.
Kohs was no stranger to making fake claims. Who could forget his “grant proposal” on Meta, “Grants:IdeaLab/Impacts on lives of the banned,” complete with a troll avatar, which he went back to his blog and bragged about here: (archived). Just think what might have been accomplished with some actual concerted effort towards community grants, if Kohs had not been screaming for attention to line his own pockets. Does anyone really believe the WMF cannot afford to fund anything they want? Or that there was anything serious in Kohs’ proposal? You have to wonder how much he poisoned the well for serious proposals.
And then there was the time he tried to take down genderdesk. (See “Wikipediocracy takes no prisoners: Kohs fires off DMCA against Gender Desk“) WordPress does not take kindly to people who waste their time with false reports, so that one did not go anywhere.
Then there was the dildo thing. See “Greg Kohs trolls Zoe Quinn yet again“. Just ewww.
