Bohdan is yet another ex CP sysop who came over to RationalWiki. (What is it with these guys?) He is the resident "useless irritating person" on the wiki, and the one who most frequently opines that RationalWiki is "just like CP". As such, the sysops suspend all rules when dealing with him, often blocking him (sometimes maliciously and sometimes friendly), as well as regularly violating the "your userpage is your castle" rule by vandalizing his userpage (though they don't like it when he reciprocates). His current userpage states that he is a "professional wikilawyer".
Whether Bohdan is actually liked, tolerated, or outright detested at RationalWiki seems to depend who you ask. However, as he seems to be mostly harmless, and has the blessing of both Tmtoulouse and Human, his future is fairly secure.
For a time he had sysop powers on RW, but after he abused his block power, Human took them away. He continues entertaining delusions of grandeur, however, and regularly threatens to "take away your/everyone's sysop powers", which would make him a bureaucrat (at least in his own head). Despite these threats, interestingly, Bohdan has never caused Headless Chicken Mode to happen, which indicates how little the other users actually care about what he has to say. Many will even "play" with him, finding it more entertaining than ignoring him completely.
Nonetheless, Bohdan frequently appears on freshly registered users' talk pages to accuse them of being socks of established users, although only one person (RA) has ever complained about this. Bohdan's appearance on a talk page heralds the end of any productive conversation as the entire discussion is hijacked and turned into a kvetching/wanton accusation session by Bohdan.
He doesn't handle criticism very well, and when confronted on his own talk page will either sputter amusingly and try to accuse the critic of "being just like CP", or will remove the comment, either by archiving or reverting.
Sockpuppetry
Bohdan has accused, and continues to accuse, everyone of sockpuppetry on RationalWiki. He also denies engaging in sockpuppetry himself, then uses sockpuppets, which suggests a certain degree of projection on his part. His most troublesome puppet was Locke (not to be confused with Pinto, whose de facto name was already "Locke"). Bohdan denied Locke was his sock, although Locke spent such an unusual amount of time obsessing over the same things Bohdan did that the connection is undeniable.
He also maintains a series of socks, Bohdan2 and Bohdan3, for when he wants to get around his frequent blocks. Radioactive afikomen, in his NamuH persona, mockingly created Bohdan4, Bohdan5, and so on through Bohdan9, and named one of his own socks "My password is Bohdan" in homage to him.
Schizophrenia
Bohdan cannot make up his mind about what to username to go by. The following flowchart helps make sense of his antics.
