If you attempt to restore your bad-faith request for arbitration again, I will block you as a sockpuppet of Dotsix for trolling. →Raul654 02:39, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

This account was created by an impostor (Nate Ladd I suspect) posing as 67.182.157.6, not by me.--67.182.157.6 23:48, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Apparently 67.182.157.6, that is, Donald Alford, expects us to just take his word for this. Too bad for him that he has long since destroyed his credibility in the eyes of the entire Wiki community. --63.231.15.66 10:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm not speculating one way or another, all I know is I see two anon accounts editing a userpage, one redirecting it to another anon userpage. If it is suspected, then it should be tagged with {{sockpuppet}} or possibly {{impostor}} by an admin, or at least a registered user with evidence. ∞Who?¿? 23:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Just look at what it says. See where it says, right at the outset, "Donald R. Alford -- DotSix"?

Which means that whoever created it wants us to think he is both Donald R. Alford and "DotSix" (= 67.182.157.6). But that doesn't tell us one way or another whether the person who created it really is Donald R. Alford or not. In fact, that is exactly what the real Donald R. Alford would say, since he IS "DotSix" (= 67.182.157.6). --63.231.15.66 10:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Obviously this account was created by an impostor and should be terminated. If you are an admin, then why don't you go ahead and take care of it, it would be greatly appreciated. Did you see where Ed Poor (an admin) redirected the other impostor account, User: DotSix? Click here: [1] I am just following his example. If an admin does it, then it should be the thing to do, safe assumption? --67.182.157.6

I see no evidence that this page wasn't created by Donald R. Alford, who has used many IPs, mainly 67.182.157.6 in the last 5 weeks. Therefore, his claim that it "obvious" he didn't create it is obviously wrong. Donald, using 67.182.157.6, is simply asking us to take his word for it that he did not create it. Given his behavior, his word is ... um... well ... let's just say it can't be relied on. I'm not sure what would count as evidence that he did not create this page. Is there a way of finding out what IP was being used by the person who created the page? If so, we could check to see if it was 67.182.157.6 or if it was in one of the two ranges of AOL IPs that Donald has been using. --63.231.15.66 01:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I see no proof this page was not created by Nathan Ladd = 63.231.15.66.

I see no proof there is no God.

I see no proof there is no Invisible Pink Unicorn IPU.

I see no proof this kind of argument from ignorance is not a common piece of obscurantist sophistry they resort to when they have nothing reasonable to say regarding the ongoing content dispute in the true related articles, so they must resort to their usual line of sophistry, and try to change the subject from content to contributors, which goes against Wikipedia policy, "comment on content, not on the contributors."--172.195.70.114 20:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
