Bob "Filll" Stevens

Bob, a climate scientist in Bowie, Maryland, is a very tedious Wikipedian. You can't find much about him elsewhere on the internet, because he has only two preferred hangouts: Wikipedia, and weirdly, Skype conference bridges.

Bob has a personal blog, which seems to be a series of critiques of other people whose names are rarely mentioned. You can tell that Bob is not very mature and has a big ego, because most of his sentences on this blog start with "I".

Bob can easily show himself to be a cardcarrying Jimbo-sucking Wikinerd, simply via his lengthy and angry rants about a fellow scientist, Barry "Moulton" Kort:

Moulton has helpfully archived some of Bob's nonsense for future generations (assuming future generations will give a damn about Bob Stevens):

Another thing Bob loves to do is profess his love of evolution, and his support of certain WPers who push evolution as a POV, such as OrangeMarlin and FeloniousMonk, which apparently includes his occasional harassment of their opponents:

Bob has an account on Love Access:

It's believed that this Topix account is the same Bob Stevens. At least, the angry rants about science are similar:

It's on Skype that Bob's ego enjoys full flower. On their public conferences, he can spew his bigoted pseudo-opinions day and night, and have an audience. Easier than typing, probably.

He occasionally blogs about his Skype funnytimes:

As a result, Bob (usually known as "BobinMD") has become the butt of many jokes among a small group of fellow Skype addicts.

Fellow Skype user "Appliantologist" runs a blog about Bob, complete with some audio captures of Bob spewing (warning, many videos, much foul language):
