Johann Hari aka David r from meth productions Wikipedia's adventures could have gone unnoticed, if he continued with his calling and sending emails to himself, and telling the world how brave he is, but with the time passed it was no longer enough. Johann Hari aka David r from meth decided to fight his opponents, using as weapons their Wikipedia entries. For example [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Cohen Nick Cohen] was very surprised, when he read in his Wikipedia's entry that he [http://www.spectator.co.uk/politics/all/7075743/diary.thtml "was a probable alcoholic, a hypocrite and a supporter of Sarah Palin"]. Nick Cohen was so upset with his Wikipedia entry that he even wished he were able to "relieve [[Criticism of Jimmy Wales|Jimmy Wales]] of a part of his fortune". Cohen writes: [http://www.spectator.co.uk/politics/all/7075743/diary.thtml "''The fearsome honour code by which hacks abide insists that no journalist can sue for libel — if you give it, you must take it. I bowed to its stern injunctions while wishing that my colleagues would grant me a release just this once so that I might relieve Jimmy Wales of a part of his fortune.''"].

Johann Hari got so involved with the imaginary David Rose that he even mentioned Rose in his own blog [http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tomchiversscience/100105678/we-lefties-shouldnt-be-so-quick-to-forgive-johann-hari/ "At one stage Johann Hari quotes David Rose in his blog, giving him biographical details like "a starred first from a degree specialising in environmental science at Cambridge, and extensive work in Antarctica observing the effects of global warming", to support a point Hari himself is making. Green counts "at least fifteen biographical facts (from a lawyer girlfriend in Walthamstow and subbing jobs at the Independent and Spectator, to a principled and noisy opposition to the invasion of Iraq)" about David Rose, none of which were true, because there is no David Rose. "[It] was a fluent stream of lies contrived just so that the systemic smear campaign and dishonest self-promotional exercise could carry on and never be exposed", he says.Snowdon mentions an example in which two apparent Hari sockpuppets, David Rose and "Jessica", talk amongst themselves and pretend to get in touch with Hari himself over the choice of picture on his Wikipedia entry, and another in which he spent some time "emphasising his own importance as a major cultural figure"."].
