Secret Mugshot

Is this the friend that Slim was cross about checkuser 'checking'? He certainly should be checked. Anonymous Dissident seems to have a lot of admin privileges, despite being barely literate. Or should that be, because of being barely literate?

Meta-wiki (sysop; bureaucrat)
MediaWiki (sysop)
Commons (sysop)
Wikispecies (sysop; bureaucrat)
en-Wiki (sysop)

Like Slim, like Baggini and Stangroom (favoured by Slim with personal pages) he has some passing interest in philosophy. Indeed, he is 'one' of the users (my learned friend) docmartincohen recently but ineffectually (complaint resolved - nothing to be done!) complained about on the 'Admin noticeboard' for planting adverts or unsuitable references, generally at the end of the first sentence, for various 'famous philosophers' (Nietzsche).

I have met him at a meetup and had alot of contact over the past year or two and found him to be very thoughtful and openminded and show considerably more maturity than his age suggests.
