WIKI MEN THEROADISLONG AND JPGORDON

THEROADISLONG is a man (sensing a pattern here?) from North Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Theroadislong is the least corrupt of this vicious gang of admins, but is that really a good thing? He's either a friend or a frenemy of the others and is the only admin in the gang with a great deal of creative talent himself. Theroadislong is more of a reluctant follower in these circles. His motivations are unclear. Some might ask if it's a simple internet addiction. One can't help but wonder if a mental health screen should be a prerequisite to controlling this monopolistic encyclopedia. One thing is for pure certain... Theroadislong doesn't have the courage or will to stand up to the abuse he's well aware of.

Theroadislong is equally obsessed with his own vanity in becoming the Wikipedian admin with the most edits in history, and is currently ranked 196 for most edits. When the voices of the surrounding abusive admins are loud enough, Theroadislong silently goes down the road with them on a path of bad-faith actions. He's skilled at looking the other way and maintaining his position within the organization.

JPGORDON or Josh Gordon is the 72-year-old failed musician with an obsession about which words people should be allowed to write with. Some words just irk the wannabe lawyer. His claim to fame is that he was once one of the many, many revolving members of 70s band The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. Despite a conflict of interest, Josh Gordon may have even helped to ensure the band which remains close to his heart would be remembered always with a Wikipedian article that rivals that of The Beatles. Unfortunately for people who'd like to contribute to Wikipedia but have found themselves on the wrong side of a block, Josh Gordon is one of only a handful of active UTRS Admins, estimated to currently be about seven people.

JPGordon is indeed hanging on to the precious Wikipedian power he's attained, and with the grip of a hyaena on a newly found carcass. Only death could separate this geriatric. Reportedly and rather ironically, Josh Gordon started attending lawschool in his 70s, admittedly because he's a weirdo, and even though he has been very outspoken against any perceived Wikipedia lawyering. Ask yourself why would a guy who takes frequent naps and when awake, is busy wielding his Wikipedian power with a grumpy dose of lethargy suddenly want a law degree? You might think Josh Gordon would be busy building birdhouses instead or writing that autobiography before it's too late, but interestingly and very ironically nope.
