I'll open with a quote that I found and liked regarding this whole debacle:
"It's sad and horrible in lots of ways.
From what I've read, this user had been pretty much keeping the site afloat along with one or two others for some time. Because of this, he'd got used to his speculation being posted as unquestionable canon without challenge simply because he was so respected by the community for his dedication to the site, the other regulars couldn't keep track of everything he did and the other admins were all too busy IRL to vet his activity. He probably would have continued to be unhindered and unchallenged in posting his pet theories and peeves as Silent Hill 'fact' had one fresh anonymous editor not removed the circumcision edit. The unexpected pressure of having one of his pet theories challenged just simply was... too much for him.
This had probably long been a bugbear of his but the sudden pressure of having someone challenge him over the relevance of his beliefs to this subject just made his head split open and all the crazy came spilling out. A lot of the users on the site are seriously worried for his health right now and I can't say that I can blame them!"
Originally found in the Wikia thread by @Bungleboy, Alex Kazai (aka AlexShepherd) is a now-former admin over at the Silent Hill Wiki. He is an insane conspiracy theorist who sprinkles the pages of the wiki with his wacky ideas about how the games are full of references to circumcision. Below is a collection of screencaps showing some of his..."unique" take on the series:
As you can see in later posts in this thread, Alex is also active on other wikis, and posts similarly insane ramblings there, too. His recent chimpout on the Silent Hill Wiki managed to get him de-adminned and blocked across the Wikia network.
An in-depth look at the insanity that is Alex Shepherd can be found here (archive). It contains all of the above screenshots plus loads more.
As seen later in the thread, the reason for his circumcision obsession is (rather obviously) that he himself is circumcised (screenshot courtesy of @John Titor):
UPDATE 8/19/2016: After Alex's big chimpout back in December, he seemed to mostly go dormant. Wikia reinstated him shortly after things quieted down, and even gave him back his admin powers. However, it appears that he's learned absolutely nothing from that experience and is still doing the exact same shit that got him banned before. Details here.
UPDATE 1/7/2018: @Placebo claims to have once been a friend of Alex, but stopped talking to him for a multitude of reasons. Some new details about his home life and interactions with other people have come to light. First message is here.
