List of Internet kooks

The following is a list of internet kooks -- people who have widely disseminated their woo across the intarwebs. Some are also kooks in real life. Some do not technically exist.

Wingnut (or Moonbat) cloggers

• Eric Dondero -- A nuke-the-Middle East Republican fanatic who thinks he is a libertarian. This particular bundle of contradictions is actually not all that uncommon, but Dondero is hyperactive about spamming every Internet forum imaginable with his barely-coherent wingnuttery. He attacks big-L Libertarians for not being pro-war, libertarian-leaning Democrats for not being Republicans, anti-war Republicans for not being real Republicans, and his former boss, Ron Paul (who fired him), for just about everything.
• Karol Florian Madera -- Schizophrenic Canadian amateur radio operator who bills himself as "Radio Canada." He operates a station on the high frequency radio bands and makes it his aim to slander U.S. citizens nearly every day over the airwaves. He has threatened the U.S. ambassador to Canada and a 13 year old boy from Minnesota, and expressed hopes that someone would deploy roadside bombs against Americans, and stated he would give Al-Qaeda aid and comfort. Mr. Madera also has a website that slanders those he identifies as his enemies, most of whom are American amateur radio operators.
• Milton Kleim — early promoter of neo-Nazism on Usenet.
• Eric S. Raymond — Need anything be said?

Pseudoscience ...soggers?

Religious evangeloggers

• Bevets -- Persistent creationist Fark troll.
• Kent Hovind -- Currently jailed creationist propagandist, fundamentalist wingnut, and tax protester.
• Ted Holden -- Creationist and Velikovskyite known for cyclical trolling of "talk.origins". A Usenet crank going way back. Ted currently posts at the right wing website Free Republic under the handle GodGunsGuts^{[citation needed]} and is known for pushing not only Young Earth Creation garbage, but also claiming that science leads to communism and atheism, and that AIDS is a conspiracy created by the government and HIV doesn't cause AIDS.
• Jason Gastrich -- Obsessive Biblical inerrantist with a knack for not going away when ordered. Shoot-on-sight banned at Wikipedia.
• Ray Martinez -- Self Described "Old Earth Young Biosphere Protestant Evangelical Paulinist." Troll at talk.origins as well as the CvE forums and other creationist websites. Tried his hand at Conservapedia for a while but took his ball and went home after his particular brand of wingnuttery was found to be unacceptable. Believes that the Bible is innerrant, that the Great Pyramid is a physical representation of the Bible, that Atlantis exists in the Atlantic Ocean and that its existence is proven by the fact that eels return to the Atlantic to spawn. Has been on the verge of publishing a paper that will demolish Darwinism for about 5 - 7 years now. All questions that seem to undermine his arguments will be answered in his paper. A Ray Martinez Dictionary is available to translate his various positions.
• Yerranos -- Owner/manager of this site. Just weird, not your average YEC fundamentalist but much worse.
