     So why won't Wikipedia disclose the finances of Jimmy Wales, then?

     @chjara It was indeed ryulong
     
     I do remember people were pissed at some point because his GamerGhazi fundings were handwaved, this I'm pretty sure something like this happened, but I can't find by who, what and how anymore
     
     But it looks like it was actually used in the abitrations evidence
     https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate/Evidence&oldid=640312708#Evidence_presented_by_LoganMac
     However it was more than funds, the dude was so fucking crazy he got banned even from Rationalwiki. That's pretty much what it took for the dude to be ejected by wikipedia
     
     But all of this bullshit took so long, and so long after the facts, and also missed a bunch of other people in the process. Extremely inefficient
     
     Also look at the length of that page, holy fucking shit

     @coolboymew @chjara that guy was literally addicted to editing wikis, he got temporarily banned from wikipedia which is its own fascinating story, and was having a withdrawal-induced psychological breakdown online and signed up for a bunch of other wikis and subsequently got banned from all of them.

     @PostingHellbound @chjara @coolboymew you could definitely find batshit goblins on the other side too, what was the most disconcerting is nobody, basically almost nobody, would kick these people out of "their side".

     @Moon
     agreed lol
     
     i still think the fuckery and personality disorder quotient of aGG was higher, but it's undeniable that a lot of bad behavior got papered over due to allegiance
     
     like fucking ralph standing in front of the parade lmao. but let us not blame victims for actions of their abusers. I think aGG is actually intellectually bankrupt in this regard because they pretty explicitly ran on Leninist (?) who/whom logic. Arthur Chu phrased it as "no bad tactics only bad targets." And movieblob probably said something in that regard. I think members explaining the norms they derived from the environment is a meaningful predictor.
