Oh my God, I hate all this.
IIRC the Wikipedia Guerilla Skeptics helped try & hide Krauss' sexual harassment problems for years until the #MeToo movement?
But then that seems to be the issue with fundamentalists protecting their own from that sort of allegation, whether they are of the materialist faith or some other...
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

The allegations against Michael Shermer were much slower to be included on his Wiki page, though they are there now.
