Admin JPGordon, anyone know him? Options

[Web Fred]

I've been monitoring an IP editor 27.100.16.185 (T-C-L-K-R-D) (from Hong Kong apparently) that popped up in DC's thread on ANI. The one Nobody Ent started a sub section on. The one who got blocked for giving out the search string to find Fae's details easily.

Apparently a series of admins have been giving him/her the run around on their talk page by accusing the IP of vandalism and harassment. The IP made some rather polite and factual unblock requests but got turned down and eventually got their talk page access removed.

It looks like the IP has jumped IPs to 64.9.146.160 (T-C-L-K-R-D) to add another unblock request, this was reverted by Jpgordon (T-C-L-K-R-D) with the strange edit summary "Jumping IPs to continue obnoxious behavior is not a good strategy".

So, to repeat the question asked in the 64.IP's edit summary "since when is making an unblock request obnoxious behaviour"?

Jpgordon has since semi-protected the page.

So who is this admin Jpgordon? Is he a well-known corrupt admin, a known pal of Fae, or just a fuckin' idiot.

It seems strange to me that this IP is prevented from giving damning evidence at ANI, then is effectively silenced on their own talk page. Now if I'd been smoking weed this week I would perhaps be seeing a conspiracy to shut this editor up.

• The initial blocking admin was Thehelpfulone (T-C-L-K-R-D) .
• The first unblock request was declined by Fred Bauder (T-C-L-K-R-D) (whose initial edits on that page were oversighted for some reason).
• The second unblock request was declined by Tnxman307 (T-C-L-K-R-D) who also remove talk page access.
• The third unblock request was reverted, per the above, by Jpgordon (T-C-L-K-R-D) who then semi-protected the page.

Nobody Ent tried to get the message out and someone else (can't remember who) tried to offer advice. As the page is semi-protected now I can't create a sock to start joining in and I don't have any sleepers I can use (I'm trying to be good to see if I can be ridiculed when I ask for my account back in 5 months).


So am I on my own here in thinking something fishy is going on?

If it matters, I've classed Josh as an "evil patroller", as he seems to enjoy blocking people. Usually as a favor to other patrollers who don't want to "dirty their hands".

He's blocked Darolyn Coran.

And he's blocked an entire skyscraper in Philadelphia, with about 3,000 Internet-connected workstations in it.

He's blocked Darolyn Coran.

That was over three years ago. Further, he gave a reason, that this Darolyn Coran was you. Was it? If so, he was surely not acting wrongly. If not, then of course it was shockingly bad.

I don't see that Thekohser said it was bad. Was it, Greg?

That account created the Wikipedia article Strategic studies, which has gone on to garner about 23,000 page views. Clearly useful content to the encyclopedia project, then. Who knows what other great and useful new articles Darolyn Coran would have gone on to create -- but we'll never know, because JPGordon snuffed her out, with a figurative gun-blast to the chest, only 4 days after she was born.

Seems sadistic to me... not just "bad".

JPGordon snuffed her out

You seem to be admitting that this account was indeed yourself. So in what way can it be construed as a female account?

Metaphorically? Thekohser is having some fun, that's all.

It's a female account, isn't that obvious, with a common female name like "Darolyn."

The shotgun blast to the chest, that's a reference to Carolyn Doran, who shot her lover in the chest and then claimed, later, that he subsequently asked her to marry him. I.e., he must have thought it was okay.

I don't even want to speculate about what this means. The WMF was young and didn't do background checks. Those are for serious employers, the WMF was just an extension of the wiki game.

Greg is just doing some poking, as he usually does.
