Anti-RationalWiki Legion
Anti-RationalWiki Legion is a group of lolcows who are hell-bent on taking down RationalWiki led by Rome Viharo.
The Legion traces back to an article Viharo published on his website in November 2017, defending Emil O. W. Kirkegaard, Laird Shaw and Abd Ul-Rahman Lomax who all dislike RationalWiki for their articles; Viharo formed an alliance with these individuals, including Mikemikev and Michael D. Suarez (who he's communicated in leaked emails) against RationalWiki admins David Gerard and Oliver D. Smith.
To date, the Legion has engaged in cyberstalking, doxing, defamation, blackmail, hacking and impersonation - in an attempt to get their RationalWiki articles deleted. This has failed, frustrating Viharo to the extent members of the Legion have started making death threats against Smith; Viharo also has threatened to report RationalWiki to the Party Van, although surely these sort of fake legal threats will backfire.

Rome Viharo (commander)
- Emil O. W. Kirkegaard: a neo-Nazi who sickeningly wrote on his blog paedophiles as a "compromise" should drug and rape sleeping children because they won't feel being molested if they're not awake. Kirkegaard dislikes his RationalWiki article for the crime of documenting his far-right politics and the fact he's a paedophilia-apologist; after discovering that Smith created his RationalWiki article: has cyberstalked him for past 2 years, got banned from RationalWiki for personal attacks and doxing, wrote a defamatory article about Smith on his own website and now threatens RationalWiki/Smith with legal action, despite all Smith ever did is quote his own paedophilic blog comments and document his racist beliefs. Has recently started like a deranged lunatic to dox and attack Smith's family members.
- Laird Shaw: schizophrenic recruited by Rome Viharo to try to delete his RationalWiki article; after failing and managing to piss off RationalWiki admins, including Smith - he ended up with his own article that documents his crackpot beliefs such as demonic possession and Uri Geller having real psychic powers. Shaw created a bunch of fake accounts of RatonalWiki admins on his forum, but then tried to blame them onto Smith, probably after Viharo told him, as a method to intimidate and troll Smith; he's also resorted to doxing, like Kirkegaard, which got him temporarily blocked from RationalWiki.
- Mikemikev: neo-Nazi and self-described white supremacist who has a notorious internet history. Has been in a 5-year feud with Smith, since Smith got him banned from RationalWiki and has blocked dozens of his sockpuppets. Mikemikev often impersonates Oliver D. Smith on fake accounts, and for example created the Emil Kirkegaard ED article; Mikemikev has sent Smith numerous death threats.
- Abd Ul-Rahman Lomax: infamous internet harasser who has been banned from every major wiki for misusing them for personal vendettas; eventually ran into Smith, who got him permabanned from Wikiversity and RationalWiki. Now cyberstalks Smith, having written over 50 articles spreading misinformation about Smith on his blog; Smith has also blocked dozens of his accounts on RationalWiki.
Legion's dirty tricks
The Legion engage in various bad deeds and dirty tricks, some of them criminal, in trying to delete their RationalWiki articles.
Impersonation
Rome Viharo and other members of the Legion are known to create fake accounts on RationalWiki, get them promoted to sysop status and then make false or misleading statements, while pretending to be someone else such as a "neutral" observer. The trickery is then quoted by Viharo on his website, for example Viharo quotes a fake account that says: "I think it is time we deleted the Rome Viharo article and admitted he was harassed"; once this deception is in place, he then quotes this fake account on his website (that he himself could own or another Legion member) as an argument to delete his article.
Viharo lies on his website and claims this account is owned by Smith. However, he clearly doesn't and Smith denies owning it. According to Smith, the account likely belongs to Abd Ul-Rahman Lomax.
Mikemikev
Mikemikev (real name: Michael Coombs) is known to have created hundreds of RationalWiki sockpuppets impersonating Smith, but then blames his own fake accounts onto Smith on Rightpedia, including: Anti-racist Man, AntifaGuy, Oliver Antifa, Oliver D Smith, Oliver D Smith Antifa, Oliver Schizo Antifa,Anti-fascist for life, Hope not Hate member, Nick Lowles Fan, Antifa activist and countless more. Mikemikev's main obsession is creating fake accounts of Smith pretending to be an Antifa or communist, despite the fact Smith is neither of these things and has long criticized the far-left.
