Today my Wikipedia page (which I don’t want) was vandalized yet again by crackpots who said I had something to do with the Hunter Biden laptop (not true), the lab leak hypothesis (not true), the Democratic Party (not true), & that the Disinfo Governance Board was my idea (a Shellenberger original)

wow. Your prolly small group of sickly dedicated trolls know you’ve been in the news, so they rightly assess your page will get a traffic spike. But, to be safe they pile on a host of hot button conspiracies. ugh

Very sorry about all of this. Stinks. Your poise is impressive.

The bullshit you are going through is so real and such bullshit. I've been there myself (over 20 years ago, so before the world went *this* far off the edge, but still) and it is just absolute steaming horseshit and I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, be fair, it looks like they say someone named "DiRista" did some of that. Not DiResta. Also, wtf is wrong with people?

It's insane that they're able to do this. I'm not a wikipedia expert - yet I wonder if there's a way to get the page locked so only trusted editors can make changes.

I don’t think a person named “Brian Chan” exists, I never “worked closely” with the FBI, never wrote anything about “real censorship of 1st amendment rights”… The true believers are *so invested* at this point. This was reverted after I posted it to Threads & I’m appreciative of ppl who helped.
