Evidence

MindHavoc is a single-issue sock on a campaign for where LordPathogen was trying to make NPOV edits. In the last year LordPathogen has only edited on four articles: Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lou Dobbs, Illegal immigration and Elvira Arellano. The Elvira Arellano is where MindHavoc started editing in the same style as LP and then started reverting other users changes. --evrik (talk) 13:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


Comments
  • So, because I have not edited many articles, and when I did, I happen to agree with with an opponent of Evrik's, THAT makes me a sock puppet? If this were the 16th century, Evrik would probably burn me at the stake with such evidence. ;-) LordPathogen 129.33.49.251 14:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Ummm, looking at you just wrote, are you writing in the voice of User:LordPathogen, User:MindHavoc or just 129.33.49.251? --evrik (talk) 14:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Obvously LordPathogen since my name is at the top of this page and hence am the accused. As for the IP, that belongs to a large corporation so it would not surprise me if it used by multiple wiki users. Really, try writing persuasive arguments rather than throwing out lame accusations... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 10:01, 24 May 2007 editing as LordPathogen
      • Sounds to me like you were writing as MindHavoc and defending LordPathogen. --evrik (talk) 15:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • By the way, I'm done writing here so feel free to accuse me of what you will. I request immediate judgement if possible. After that, I would like to know what the penalty is for falsely accusing someone here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.33.49.251 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 24 May 2007 editing as LordPathogen
  • Why are you signing in such an odd fashion? --evrik (talk) 15:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Conclusions

I have blocked User:MindHavoc as that account is clearly a sockpuppet of LordPathogen, whom I also blocked for 48h as a result of a 3RR vio. I have not blocked 129.33.49.251 as that user's editing history began in March 2 and I cannot find sufficient evidence to identify this IP as another sockpuppet.
