um, wat. From my view, this is persistent crank Rome Viharo complaining that someone from RationalWiki (me) is mean yet again. He seems to have launched the Ethereum bit off this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6dkc8w/why_do_we_keep_letting_david_gerard_who_obviously/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6dkc8w/why_do_we_... in which Ethereum advocates are upset that a non-fan edits the article on Ethereum and actually applies the Wikipedia content rules. but hey, AMA!

  I wasn't banned from Wikipedia for sock puppeting, you're stating misinformation from RationalWiki.

There are many ethereum sub reddits mentioning concern about your presence. Shrugging me off as a "Crank" is not something you can continue to do every time someone criticizes you or RationalWiki.
