User talk:ChristianBenvenuto

You have been. (blocked by MuZemike 04:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC))

You may contest this block by adding the text below, but please read our guide to appealing blocks first.


 * Judging by timing, you created this account specifically to comment on a sockpuppet investigations page. Do you want to explain how this is possible if you're not a sockpuppet? Max Semenik (talk) 22:54, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * As I said, I made that edit out of error when I was younger and more foolish. Also, the sockpuppet investigations can be accessed by searching different terms and other things if one cared enough to. The reason why I didn't appeal years ago, is I wanted to give the idea that this wasn't a malicious action. But apparently that notion went amiss in my effort to seem harmless. What it comes down to, I did something that in reflection was incredibly foolish. I did a lot of weirder things when I was younger, years back in my life. Basically, I'm apologizing for something I did wrong and apparently waiting a long period to do so isn't a good idea. ChristianBenvenuto (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * (also pinging ) I'm glad you've acknowledged the concerns with your past behavior.  The more practical concern here is that since you were blocked as a sockpuppet of User:ItsLassieTime, you need to make an unblock request from that account.  From the unblock request page: Users confirmed or believed to have engaged in the practice must request unblock at their main account.  I suspect this request will need to be declined on that basis, but if you make a request from the original account, that's more likely to be considered.

 * The reason I'm asking for an unblock from here, is that I'm a completely different person. I'm not a sock of the main account (even though it seems like it to all of you admins), I was an idiot in 2009 editing something I should not have as I said. Should the differences in IP address reveal that to all of you? Also, this is my real name on here... and I have no idea who this Lassie person is. No, I'm not telling a fib. I'm being honest about that, we're two completely different people using different accounts. Does this make it even more clear? ChristianBenvenuto (talk) 10:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't help but wonder what I can do to disprove I'm not this other user, because I can assure any of you that I have no idea who this person is. Yes, it's possible to find that investigation and have anyone comment on it. But, is there any possible way for me to disprove or show a difference between our accounts as to show that we're two different people that have no idea who each other are? That's what I ultimately want to do, and just get my name cleared in the end. This must be a unique occasion? ChristianBenvenuto (talk) 11:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies; having reviewed the blocking admin's comments shortly after your block and the sockpuppet investigations, it appears you are definitely not a sock of User:ItsLassieTime. That said, I'd prefer to give  a little more time to respond here.  Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 00:04, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input, again, much valued. Yes, I agree and wait for MuZemike's input. ChristianBenvenuto (talk) 11:47, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

I have no objections to unblocking. After re-reading the SPI, I was under the impression that the ChristianBenvenuto account was going to be abandoned (in favor of using User:ElvenAmerican and later User:ThemeParker, hence there was no harm in keeping the account blocked. If the person wishes to continue using this account to edit, I have no problem with that. --MuZemike 02:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
