Holy crap this just keeps getting more and more bizarre...

So this whole thing with Strassini being portrayed as an AA Buckeye athlete has been going on for 30 years, the real person with the name decides to play along (for 30 years!?) with the fake information and accomplishments, and now his life is being "ruined" by the truth coming out?

Pardon me if I a) have absolutely no shred of sympathy for the "real" Strassini if this is indeed the case (you set yourself up for it by living the lie even if you didn't initially fabricate it, and are just as guilty as those who set it up); and b) don't believe the absurdities being claimed by onlymelol, because he did live this lie for at least a few years, and proves capable of lying.

He was saying this for at least 5 years

I just want to hear how this "all started" 30 years ago and why did wiki decide to randomly pick on you?

Pardon my French, but that is bull[Mark May].

Yes, you tried to remove your name from Wikipedia. But only from your talk page, while refering to "Giovanni Strassini" as "my name".

The funny thing about the Wikipedia software, tho, that is registers your edits. So, one can easily see that on that same day, someone with exactly your IP address added your name all over Wikipedia.

So, if that wasn't you, it must've been someone using your internet connection, at the same time as you were using it. Not that I believe there is one, but I'd like to hear your explaination for that.

Any updates on the explanation?
