Viharo
I'm answering here because I've been "banned" by from their User Talk Page. The message purportedly from Rome Viharo had no real substance to it (basically: some users are evil GSoW'ers, they wrote a nasty article about me on RationalWiki, contact me on twitter to chat ...). I suspect it may not be from the real Rome Viharo but from an agitator who is just shit-stirring; there's been a bit of this of late. Alexbrn (talk) 20:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Ahhh thank you! I was looking for Rome and forgot he was Tumbledown or whatever. Strange that he is back (or someone familiar with that era) it's been a long time. interesting that he thought ACS was the person most receptive to him. Sgerbic (talk) 20:28, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It could be that, but also there's someone one there (who may or may not be Viharo) who sporadically on- and off-wiki just seems to like posting messages on this topic to stoke drama, especially (on-wiki) targeting fresh users. See for example this. The aim seems just to stoke FUD among "skeptic" editors. Alexbrn (talk) 20:33, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The "message" was totally innocent when I saw it, so goodness only knows how 1) ACS connected you with it, and 2) why they are being a huge drama queen about it escapes me. Bottom line, for those playing along, is that ACS thinks that the slightest disagreement with their editing is a gigantic personal attack, causing much pulling of hair and nessectitating (sp) drama fests and TLDR hand wringing at Dramah boards. Sheesh. Oh yes, Hi Susan, I'm still angry at you for refusing to marry me. -Roxy the dog . wooF 20:42, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The comment literally mentioned Sgerbic, so I didn't connect it with her. I pinged Sgerbic because I thought she might appreciate knowing about the issue. Santacruz  &#8258;  Please ping me!  20:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It mentioned you as well,, and some names I didn't recognize at all but since you have told me in other threads that you are not part of GSoW and I trust you on that I thought pinging you would be a waste of everyone's time. Santacruz  &#8258;  Please ping me!  20:48, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You are dissembling, ACS. -Roxy the dog . wooF 20:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Roxy. can vouch for the message mentioning both of you, if that's what you mean.  Santacruz  &#8258;  Please ping me!  20:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I saw it. I dont recognise it from what you have said. -Roxy the dog . wooF 21:00, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Don't recognize what? Sorry for asking again. Santacruz  &#8258;  Please ping me!  21:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

The purpose of a WP:REVDEL is to hide an edit, so I'm not keen to reconstruct it. But basically it's as I said above, with some users named (probably wrongly) as being GSoW "members". I should just ignore it and carry on. Alexbrn (talk) 21:01, 8 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree on ignoring it and carrying on, I think the message has caused enough stress on all of us as is worth. Santacruz  &#8258;  Please ping me!  21:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Easy for others to say "just ignore it" when I'm getting too different stories. One that I was not personally named and another than said I was. It's not as if this troll and their friends are going away. If I am named then I think I should know. If it was just as vague as what @Alexbrn stated then I will just take your word for it. I spend almost no time on admin pages so I wasn't aware that Rome has been back many times and targeting new editors. I thought he had finally gotten help and was long gone living his best life. If there are copycats then it would be someone with years of history because some of what was mentioned was from years back and I barely remember, like 2013 or so. And ACS - haven't you realized yet that everyone is GSoW?
 * @Roxy the dog you know I can't marry you, cats and dogs can not exist together - at least my cats would freak if I allowed one of those 4-legged cat impersonators near them. Personally I love dogs, but alas I made a decision years ago and my cats are holding me to it. Besides you insert u's into words that are clearly not supposed to have u's in them and you pronounce the letter Z like it's that cleaning product Zed, and that makes it impossible for us to share a household. < >
 * Oh and of course we know that Rome is reading this and having a little girly giggle at the thought of how he has got editors so upset, much pulling of hair and such. I would say hello if I were polite but in this case I'm not. Just remember everyone, there are more lurkers than editors. Sgerbic (talk) 23:27, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

OK, looks like I was wrong - again, nothing new - but I honestly dont remember any of this stuff in the post. Also, it aint Rome imho, just somebody pushing buttons, so I apologise to all in this thread. -Roxy the dog . wooF 00:24, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
