John Foxe
"John Foxe," pseudonymn for "an evangelical Christian professor of history at Bob Jones University."[1]
Foxe used techniques forbidden by wikipedia to strengthen his ability to edit LDS articles in a provocative and anti-Mormon fashion, for which he was banned for a time:
This was a classic case of “good cop/bad cop” sock puppetry, with the two accounts representing different personalities. Hi540 continued to express disgust for LDS-related subjects and support his alter-ego Foxe until the Hi540 account abruptly ceased editing LDS articles in late October 2009 after being reminded that he “ought not to pretend to act like a chicken thief . . . every time you converse with a believer.”66 The account remained active on other, noncontroversial articles and behaved in a respectable manner until Foxe’s sock puppetry was confirmed by Wikipedia administrators in August 2011, almost two years later.[2]
