Melissa's response to sock-puppet allegations
Ril's M.O.

1) Sock-puppet redirects and hopes nobody notices - Article Gone.
 * 81.156.177.21 (talk &bull; contribs)

2) SP starts edit war - victim gives up - Article Gone.
 * 81.156.177.21 (talk &bull; contribs)

3) Later new SP 'merges' and redirects - Article Gone.
 * -Ril- (talk &bull; contribs)

4) New SP starts edit war - Article Gone.
 * -Ril- (talk &bull; contribs)

5) If all else fails, SP puts up Vfd and makes false statements against his victim, often getting THE VICTIM BLOCKED.

I am new to Wikipedia this year and have never used a sock-puppet. I know that sock-puppets are legal but not in the way they were used in the article on Authentic Matthew (see above, and compare to edit history of Authentic Matthew). In addition, the following may be sock-puppets acting improperly:


 * Doc glasgow (talk &bull; contribs)


 * Capitalistroadster (talk &bull; contribs)


 * Jamesgibbon (talk &bull; contribs)


 * Melissa's allegation that I may be a sockpuppet has no foundation in reality. I would suggest to her that, in future, she should do a bit more research before casting an entirely independent Wikipedian in an unlikely role as a possible "sockpuppet". No hard feelings, and I hope that the parties can resolve this dispute, in which I have no interest, amicably. But please, with respect, be more careful next time james gibbon  14:56, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Here and elsewhere Doc and Ril seem to admit that they are sock-puppets. In other places they talk about the hundred articles they have deleted. This is just one example of their misbehaviour.


 * Melissa, it would help you if you actually read what was said in those conversations where we discussed how amusingly absurd it was you thought we were sockpuppets.     10:04, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Denial
I specifically deny any wrongdoing and put Ril to the strictist proof thereof. If you read the contributions of the above, you will see that they have deleted some good articles, been rude on occasion and some have even been blocked. This is why I am refusing to walk away from Wikipedia as so many others have. Finally, the help I have received from the "Angels" has been unsolicited.
