John Murphy Aldrich / John M. Aldrich / Fighteer / Lealla
Banhappy TvTropes moderator with a god-complex, hates the farms, ultra oldfag from the 90s
Meet 46 year old Fighteer (powerword: John M. Aldrich). Fighteer is a moderator, and in stereotypical janny fashion, he loves to ban people and takes his job super serious. If you know anything about TvTropes, and especially if you’ve gotten banned from it at some point, chances are you know Fighteer.
TvTropes moderator
Not many TvTropes moderators are well-known and Fighteer is by far the most known. Not for a good reason though, because he takes moderating extremely serious and bans people for the most inane reasons.
A few examples:
Banned for criticizing Black Panther
Being told to fuck off after appealing to a ban in the nicest way possible
Bans people and deletes posts because they have different opinions on World of Warcraft
Bans a brony for having an opinion on MLP
Wants to block singapore because of one sock account
Fighteer being a short-tempered dick to everyone
User has feedback for the site, Fighteer advices him to shut the fuck up
Fighteer being paranoid
He loses it, after ranting about capitalism
To the point where another janny removed his post
Jim Sterling (The Jimquisition)
Drama & dislike of the farms
Fighteer's hatred of the farm did not come from nowhere, there's been plenty of interactions between TvTropes and the farms. And being a mod who spends too much time online, he's no stranger to drama.
His personal grudge against the farms seemed to have started around January of this year.
It started because a slap fight between their users spilled from discord, into their mental health thread and the fine users in the tvtropes thread were laughing at it. And after the farms were namedropped
We were visited by one of them (x)
Later on, in one of the archived pages of the slapfight incident, one of their troons has their age and DOB visible (x), causing them to freak out
While futile, Fighteer tried to teach a lesson in cybersecurity (x). After all was said and done, Fighteer and his fellow jannies decided to outright nuke the mental health thread and ban everyone involved with the slapfight incident.
Presence on the internet
After doing a bit of digging, it turns out that mister Aldrich has been on the internet for longer than most. Not only can you find presence of him, dating back to 1997

He also had his own website, giving as all information we want to know of him, made back in the late 90s

Old 'about me' page:
Encyclopedia Dramatica
An achievement far more noteworthy than his obese wive or being a senior TvTropes janitor, is the fact that he has his very own Encyclopedia Dramatica page
ED page
Other noteworthy stuff
Sometimes cows collide, and what do you get when someone who always gets banned, meets a moderator that loves to ban? Nothing short of the expected; a hit with the banhammer.
Also funny fact; the "nazi website" here is us, further showing that he holds us in low regards
Doesn't like memes
Wants to murder republicans
