'''Dymphna''' is the pseudonym of a counterjihad blogger who founded the [[Gates of Vienna]] blog along with her husband and co-auth0r, writing under the pseudonym [[Baron Bodissey]].<ref>Dymphna, [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2007/04/uk-and-scandinavia-counterjihad-summit.html The UK and Scandinavia Counterjihad Summit], Gates of Vienna, 14 April 2007.</ref>

May uses unspiek@chromatism.net as the email address on his Gates of Vienna blog<ref>[http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html The "Fitna" Translations] Gates of Vienna, 31 March 2008, accessed 2 August 2009</ref>.

May from a local Internet provider in Virginia, US, in 2001<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/chromatism.net Chromatism.net Whois Record] DomainTools, accessed 25 August 2009</ref>.

May is a member of the Episcopalian Diocese of Southern Virginia, and helped to develop its website, according to a diocesan periodical which stated:
::. Ned and his wife Ceara live near the very small town of Howardsville, in the far northwest corner of this diocese.<ref>[http://emmanuelchatham.typepad.com/emmanuel_episcopal_church/files/bishop_john_c_buchanan.pdf FROM THE STANDING COMMITTEE], The Jamestown Cross, The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, Volume 70, No.3, May 2006, p.10.</ref>

An October 2000 version of May's website would appear to indicate he married Ceara Sullivan in 1980.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20001014172908/http://luna.moonstar.com/~nedmay/eden/wed80.htm Who Were All Those Skinny People? - Wedding 1980], Ned May, Luna.moonstar.com, 27 August 1997, archived at the Internet Archive, 14 October 2000.</ref>

 A Normblog profile of Dymphna states:
 ::A first generation American, Dymphna was born in Florida in 1941 and had a dimestore novel childhood, which included time in an orphanage and other dramas. She got married early to a crazy person and had three children, after which there was a long search for the door, followed by a second marriage which is permanent. Her three sons range in age from 20 to 43; her only daughter died on May 8 2003. Dymphna spent her early adulthood in New England, Wellesley mostly, and has lived in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, Virginia, for the last 25 years. Like much else, it was an accidental that became an essential. She has an undergraduate degree in philosophy and has been a chef, a social worker, a freelance editor and a hospital administrator, in what has been a meander rather than a career. Dymphna blogs at Gates of Vienna and The Neighborhood of God.<ref>Norman Geras, [http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2005/07/the_normblog_pr_1.html The normblog profile 94: Dymphna], 8 July 2005.</ref>

		+	Dymphna claims to have provided support to the founder of the [[English Defence League]] in the United States:
		+
		+	::Back before the EDL, when he hid out here in the US (a few years back), the Baron and I supported him financially (we wuz "rich" then --i.e., full-time work). In addition, a fellow blogger gave him a condo to live in, rent free. On a golf course, no less!
		+
		+	::Eventually, though, he went back to England to be persecuted repeatedly by the police and QC. His answer was to form the EDL. Genius move.
		+
		+	::I wish he could've sustained it, but such an undertaking requires immense patience and an almost zen-like ability to suffer fools gladly and to bear intense official persecution. Few ppl have all those resources. I'm hoping & praying Tommy is able to hold onto his. i sure couldn't do what he's doing.<ref>Comment no. 34 by Dymphna in Baron Bodissey, [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2011/06/open-letter-to-pamela-geller.html An Open Letter to Pamela Geller (Updated #4)], Gates of Vienna, 4 July 2011.</ref>
