Will Shetterly is a professional science fiction writer now better known in fandom for arguing with people online. He was involved in Racefail '09 and outed coffeeandink's real name after she made a post warning other people away from him.
He is frequently mentioned on Fail_Fandomanon, though usually under a series of increasingly inventive nicknames due to his habit of googling himself and then showing up to argue with whoever mentioned his name. Reportedly, he is also aware of and googles for the nicknames.
Another example of creative fannish spellings for similar reasons are those for John Ordover.
