"GoodK" is short for "Good Kimberly Ann" for when she's posting on MA&D, I.e., the opposite of when she posts here on MormonDiscussions, when she's "Evil Kimberly Ann," right?
Clever, but no.
I'm not GoodK, though I am Good Kimberly Ann. I'm never evil!

GoodK scored a very impressive point over Prof. P. on the "antimormon" thread, and was warned by the MAD moderating team on another thread. As to whether s/he will be banned, I think it's too early to say. It's also worth bearing in mind that MAD booted out many of the most interesting critics long ago, and that they likely want to keep some of the good remaining ones around. (I'm thinking in particular of Jaybear, who has really shown some pretty amazing staying power.) Certainly, if GoodK scores too many embarrassing points against the Mopologists, then s/he will be banned.
Your observation is mostly correct but I do believe Juliann and her hardline symphathizers are trying very hard to sanitize MADD from the subversive/reactionary/critical elements.
Such a bunch of hilariously entertaining posters, with our dear Dr. DCP's addition, of course.

Smacked down pretty hard? Wow. I certainly don't recall being smacked down. I remember making the great "DCP" almost cry...

I can't quite put my finger on who's posting as GoodK, but I feel fairly certain it's someone with whom I'm familiar from this board or RfM.
No matter who is posting as GoodK, she/he is providing plenty of entertainment over on MAD!
KA
I don't think I know you, but maybe. I am certainly not a previous poster hiding behind the name GoodK. I'm just a newbie, but I'm so excited my posts have proven this entertaining.
So begins GoodK's career in polemics!

I have a pretty good suspicion who it is.
Cute.
I'm GoodK. I hate to put a damper on all the mystery surrounding my real identity... just refer to me as the man(or woman) who defeated Dan Peterson, or as I like to call him, The Professor Dumbeldore of Mormon "apologetics"!

Welcome Good K.
I think you mean Tweedledum, not to be confused with the good Professor William J. (I am not a crook) Hamblin's Tweedledee.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Oh shoot! Well there goes all the intrigue and paranoia.
Welcome GoodK!
Dr. Peterson frequents this board every so often so you might interact with him again. Glad you made your way over here. :)

That Dumbledore line allows you to rightfully claim "I'm Spartacus!"

Overall, the 60% was spread out (it wasn't relegated to only one topic). As for the Ed-Deckerish aspect, it mainly occurred in the glass-looker thread, wherein a claim would be made, evidence would be provided countering that claim, fingers would be placed in ears and the same claim would be made again, evidence would be provided countering that claim, fingers would be placed in ears and the same... Also, there was a lot of "I never said that" only two to three posts after he/she actually said exactly the thing he/she was then claiming to have never said.
I don't know if much of it was just an act, or if they were in a particularly antagonistic mood, but it was kind of boggling to read two posts (by him/her) that were so "spot on" and then read three posts that were just plain embarrassing.
I can live with 2 out of 5 I suppose... That 1826 thread wasn't my best work, I'll admit. But it was a dizzying thread... I'm not even sure what the outcome was for that thread before it got shut down besides "you can't prove he was convicted, and if you could, it doesn't mean anything."
