GrammarCommie

GrammarCommie (GC) is a former RationalWiki administrator. RationalWiki.org is a politically left leaning wiki website that skews towards atheism/agnosticism in terms of its worldview. RationalWiki has a lost a massive amount of web traffic since its peak in 2019 (see: RationalWiki and web traffic).

He formerly served on the RationalWiki Foundation board of directors until he had a mental health crisis which consisted of him threatening to cut himself and commit suicide in order to get his way at RationalWiki (see screen captures below). He is an atheist and leftist.

GrammarCommie has anger management issues which sometimes results in him angrily posting abusive posts in all caps laced with profanity (see also: Atheism and anger and Atheism and profanity). The RationalWiki admin who goes by the moniker CorruptUser wrote about GrammarCommie on March 25, 2021: "GC has this belief that there's a Certain Way you have to make arguments, and seeing anyone deviating from that Certain Way results in him losing control, and he has little ability to regain his composure. During this time he will write vicious screeds, make threats, or engage in blockwars including removal of rights." See also: Atheism and social/interpersonal intelligence

GrammarCommie frequently bans people which contributes to RationalWiki being a wiki that has a low edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki. He also frequently reverts other editors. A wiki with a low edit to block ratio tends to be a closed-minded wiki that is dogmatic and intolerant (see also: Atheism and dogmatism and Atheism and intolerance).

GrammarCommie often pontificates about politics and economics and sees himself as very knowledgeable about these areas despite describing himself as being lower middle class. On July 30, 2021, GrammarCommie wrote: "I asked for data, not random factoids. Just as we can't infer that every white person lives at the lower middle class level because I do...". He is also known for correcting people's grammar and being intolerant of people's grammatical errors.

GrammarCommie describes himself thusly, "Deeply cynical and borderline misanthropic. Very much not Utopian. Unconventional left-winger. If you want more info engage me in a conversation. I'm an asshole, but I'm honest." GrammarCommmie is admin at RationalWiki, which is a wiki that intentionally lies about its web traffic statistics on its article about itself in that it greatly inflates its web traffic and global market share.

RationalWiki admins and editors indicate GrammarCommies public statements on harming himself were inappropriate and were a form of manipulation/emotional blackmail

"As I trust you all know, @GrammarCommie, a once-effective RMF staff member, has recently fallen from grace, randomly cursing out people left, right and center and making threats of self-harm on multiple user talkpages (which have since been deleted), and has started a huge flame-war on his own talkpage as well, which has since rapidly devolved after numerous containment measures by moi failed. After getting a slap on the wrist from @Christopher for edit-warring over a collapse that had proven time and time again to be a lost cause, I was forced to watch helplessly as GC and @DuceMoosolini began exchanging insults and "*#@& you"s, while GC tried shifting the blame onto others many times." - User:CircularReasoning, 21:25, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

"It is completely unacceptable to employ talk of self-harm and / or suicide as leverage in any interaction with anyone, ever. This is isn't remotely controversial: it's mental health adulting 101, and is specifically addressed in this site's Legal FAQs:

RationalWiki takes all threats of harm to self or others very seriously. Such statements will be removed from the wiki and all relevant information about the editor (including IP address) will be forwarded to appropriate authorities.

There is a entire world of difference between "I feel bad and need help", and "Look at what you've made me do!". The former requires compassion and immediate referral to professionals better equipped to assist; the latter is textbook emotional abuse and manipulation, and should not be tolerated on these pages for a solitary *$#@%ing second." - Helena Bonham Carter (talk) 17:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

"OK, I agree with that. I have removed those two comments and made them invisible in edit history." - Bongolian (talk) 17:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
