'''David Gerard''' | '''David Wainwright Gerard''' (also known as '''Red Drag Diva''' and '''David "Geriatric" Gerard''') is a senior [[bureaucratic fuck]] on [[TOW]] and sysadmin on [[RationalWiki]] who openly uses his real name on the site. David Gerard is meant to be an indication of just how serious Wikipedia is at becoming a well-known and respected encyclopaedia. | ||
Gerard's favorite weapon is the [[Wikipedia:WP:CLUE|Clue Stick]], although you will never see him hit himself with it. Currently, he's on the waiting list for a vaginoplasty. | Gerard's favorite weapon is the [[Wikipedia:WP:CLUE|Clue Stick]], although you will never see him hit himself with it. He's an over-60 [[bisexual]] [[polyamorous]] twatfenster goth from Western Australia, who speaks with a carefully cultivated faux-London accent, since he's lived in the UK for many years and fears being sent back to [[Ausfailia]], where bogan prison and face-rapes await. Currently, he's on the waiting list for a vaginoplasty. And works for Dell UK as a minor server sysop. | ||

Gerard sanitized his "bisexual-friendly" [[wikipedia:User:David_Gerard|TOW user page]] in early January 2011 when [http://www.facebook.com/jimmywales2012?v=info Jimbo floated the idea of running for U.S. Senate (R-FL) 2012] - a plan <s>likely to sag</s> which flopped faster than [[Carly Fiorina]]'s failed attempt for the same in California and perhaps even faster than her plastic [[Barbie]]-doll tits. For this remarkable accomplishment, Gerard gets a [[wikicide]] honorable mention. | |||
== Recent Activities == | |||
Unlike the stereotypical crazy old men of yore who would be content with yelling at children to get off their lawn and turn down their music, Gerard instead spends his twilight years snarking and sneering at the Millenial whippersnappers who disagree with him. With the icy grasp of Death growing nearer and nearer to the aging Gerard as each day passes, Gerard appears content with puttering around various wikis, {{archive|3bJoe|bitching about bitcoins}} on [[reddit]] (and complaining about {{archive|LeUKx#selection-4015.124-4015.211|wrongthinking redditors}} off-site), {{archive|TGM4H|griping}} about [[GamerGate]], attempting to recruit a new anti-Gamergate sperg to {{archive|saVrG|replace Ryulong}}, {{archive|juh5G#selection-5935.1-5935.66|name searching RationalWiki}} on Twitter, {{archive|EMJbx#selection-14143.0-14143.109|talking shit}} and {{archive|Yiyp2#selection-369.0-369.7|lying}} because someone wouldn't work on RationalWiki's outdated software, [https://tweetsave.com/rationalwiki/status/780800799018483713 shilling his blogs], keeping the manchildren and autists of RationalWiki {{archive|P0Oa0|under control}}, and, disturbingly, {{archive|IgVqv#selection-1721.1-1721.34|abusing his RationalMedia Foundation position to protect pedophiles}}. | |||
Considering his stance on the ''Virgin Killer'' incident, it is sadly not a surprise that Gerard would have continued to go to bat for pedophiles as the years went by. While the full extent of his pedophile apologia is unknown, observers have caught Gerard threatening users and using his position of power at RationalWiki in order to defend self-admitted pedophiles. | |||
On November 19th, 2015, a RationalWiki user named {{archive|gqw1F|Tallulah}} became disgusted at seeing RationalWiki's whitewashing of self-confessed pedophile [[Sarah Nyberg|Nicholas "Sarah" Nyberg]], and tried to amend the article because, "You don't have to be a gator to see Nyberg's chatlogs are effing creepy." Tallulah soon encountered fierce resistance from [[Ryulong]] and Gerard (both of which {{archive|ceQpa|were friends with Nyberg}} on Twitter): they {{archive|zt4U7#selection-681.0-1095.76|edit warred}}, {{archive|YEqZo#selection-907.0-941.32|yelled at her}} on the Talk page and tried to invoke a ''Biographies of Living Persons'' policy, {{archive|qgm5B#selection-5319.0-5565.76|abused sysop tools}} to keep the truth about Nyberg suppressed, threatened to {{archive|wC4Qg#selection-867.1-867.34|invoke the RationalMedia Foundation}} and ban people for discussing Nyberg, {{archive|vAO1x#selection-735.19-735.97|blocked Tallulah}} for three months, and {{archive|9Gve2#selection-9115.1-9115.13|tried to intimidate}} another user into silence. | |||
Despite Gerard's posturing, some of the user base {{archive|baIFz#selection-949.1-949.22|questioned his actions and threat to involve the RationalMedia board}} and Gerard was proven to be full of shit like usual. They unblocked Tallulah and continued to discuss pedophile Nick Nyberg until they {{archive|wC4Qg#selection-1129.0-1199.32|got tired of dealing with Ryulong}}. | |||
Almost a month later, Ryulong had [[Flounce|flounced]], but his pedophile apologia remained in the articles. On December 16th, 2015, there was {{archive|l9BwS#selection-9519.1-9519.8|renewed discussion}} about how to deal with it. Since people were editing the GamerGate pages, Ryulong had returned and was continuing to {{archive|l9BwS#selection-9637.0-9637.475|defend the pedophile}}. On the 18th, Gerard got butthurt and shut down discussions of Nyberg, {{archive|wC9su#selection-385.0-483.1|protecting the Talk pages}} and {{archive|ycFij|wiping the discussions}}. Three users (Arcane, Aneris, and Seriously) who were critical of Nyberg, Ryulong, and Gerard also found themselves {{archive|r443A#selection-551.1-551.71|logged out of their accounts, their recovery emails removed, IPs blocked, and the passwords scrambled}}. While Aneris' account was eventually restored to normal, the other two {{archive|WMeSS|appear}} to {{archive|wR6NG#selection-1617.0-1617.238|have not been}} and these three were the only ones who ever reported it happening to them. With Gerard being the only one to have access at the database level, it seems likely he could have been so buttblasted that he did this to get revenge and jerk himself off to their frustration. | |||
Another user called [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Banned_main Banned main] had left a {{archive|ByL5a|response to Ryulong}} on his own Talk page since Gerard had chimped out and protected the GamerGate pages. Gerard discovered this (or more likely was sent there by Ryulong) two days later and {{archive|74W6d|RevDel'd}} Banned main's comment, then {{archive|vAO1x#selection-565.0-603.36|blocked him}} and added {{archive|PdFbf#selection-515.1-515.36|"Inappropriate personal information"}} as a new "Serious" reason to block someone on RationalWiki. The "inappropriate personal information" was links to Nyberg talking about little girls and his 8-year-old cousin (who he called his "lgf" or 'little girlfriend') in archived {{archive|e1eB3#selection-635.0-645.1|chat logs from Nyberg's own site}} and evidence that Nyberg had panicked and made efforts to hide these logs once they were discovered. | |||
Tallulah returned on January 11th, 2016 and tried again to change the article so it wasn't white knighting for a pedophile and {{archive|iMpKr|"obscuring the facts."}} {{archive|6dODj#selection-19289.0-19623.1|Gerard began edit warring}} with her and quickly gave her a {{archive|sD0xE#selection-283.71-285.62|9-hour block}} for edit warring against him. Tallulah returned the next day and {{archive|dJ1jA|wrote}} in her user space in protest of the constant whitewashing and lying being done by Gerard and others to protect a pedophile. | |||
