Read this whole thread.
He has been defamed as a pedophile by a stalker, and has been denied several six figure paying jobs 3-4 interviews into the hiring process explicitly because one guy decided to cancel him. The stalker says he monitors court records to prevent Josh from restarting his career by changing his name. Josh is now unemployable and living in Serbia.
Bio on the stalker:
Samuel Collingwood Smith is a yellow journalist who specializes in defamation and stalking. After a brief stint as a British council member, he publicly embarrassed himself by claiming his political enemies were sexual abusers of children. Without a job, he indulged in an obsession with Evanescence and attempted to become ring leader of Internet fan clubs about Amy Lee. In his quest to become her #1 fan, he would bully, harass, and stalk underage girls who held forum moderator positions above him. More than five years later, he threatens them legally if they speak on what abuse he submitted them to. After a falling out with Evanescence staff, he accused the band of being child pornographers and was forced into a permanent contract which requires he never speak of Amy Lee or Evanescence again. Despite parliamentary petitions to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement, he is legally bound to this day.
Since then, Samuel Collingwood Smith has trailblazed the Internet leaving behind countless smear campaigns purporting anyone he does not like to be involved in child pornography somehow. An emotionally unstable adult-child who focuses much of his time on GamerGate and relevant topics, he is well known as a public menace to local constables and courts. Writing under multiple pen names, including Vordrak and Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, he romanticizes the English witch hunter by the same name. He hides behind this intimidating Internet persona and openly calls himself a terrorist. His mission statement is "to expose corruption and terrorise the guilty without worrying too much about due process."

- joshuamorton 6y agoIf you Google Joshua moon, the second hit is kiwi farms wiki (edit: Wikipedia) page. > The targets of threads are often subject to doxing and other forms of organized group trolling such as ongoing harassment and stalking, including real-life harassment by users And he thinks that a stalker is why he gets dropped at the background check phase?
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoThat page was created by the stalker. It heavily cites the stalker's own blog. He writes under the name "Matthew Hopkins". His real name is Samuel Collingwood Smith. Check the bio I posted above.
- joshuamorton 6y agoBut all accurate. And that's all I'll say on the subject because I really, really want nothing to do with kiwi farms.
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoNo, the stalker is presenting outright untrue and misleading information is an encyclopedic context to give it an air of legitimacy. It's all sourced to his own blog. There's a reason Wikipedia doesn't allow blogs as sources. Among the lies, is a quote attributed to Josh that someone added to his Encyclopedia Dramatica page, which the person later removed with the reason: ""sorry, I made this up".
- joshuamorton 6y agoNone of the sources on Wikipedia are blogs. None are attributed to this guy you keep bringing up. You're claims are false, please don't peddle falsehoods. Are you arguing that the central claim: that kiwi farms doxxes and harasses people is untrue?

- camgunz 6y agoThis isn’t canceling, it’s concerted defamation. It’s terrible, but not at all what anyone’s talking about.
- throwaway983457 6y agoAfter reading up on Mr Moon for only two minutes, e.g. at https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms, Mr Moon really shouldn't be too surprised that he's unemployable. In my opinion, you have to present at least a minimum level of decency towards society in order to take part in society, of which being employable is one facet. By running Kiwi Farms, Mr Moon simply doesn't reach this level imho.
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoRational Wiki is known for running hitpieces on people disguised as encyclopedic content. I had a look at some of the sources on that page. It claims Josh is an anti-semite. What does it cite to back this up? It cites a picture of a tweet hosted on the website on Mathew Hopkins, Moon's stalker. http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/MoonMoreJewishFingers.png http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Moo... I used to follow Josh on twitter before he got banned, and that wasn't even his twitter account.
- salawat 6y agoRichard Stallman was ousted from his position at the Free Software Foundation based on several hit pieces perpetuated by people wildly misrepresenting his communications on the CSAIL mailing list in which he called for people not to be hasty with judgement until the facts all come out. Other folks have gotten the same treatment as well. The stories come up from time to time if you pay attention. https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/index.html https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/index.html
- joshuamorton 6y agoI keep track of most of those stories. Can you explain the career consequences to Stallman losing is position at the FSF? We're talking real consequences here, not losing out on your figurehead status. (note also that I'm not even going to approach the question of whether or not his actions deserved his removal, but clearly the opinion of many people is that they did).
- CydeWeys 6y agoStallman is not a case of "all smoke no fire" though. He legitimately did the sorts of bad things that made him unsuitable for a leadership position.
