I have now emailed you regarding this, as requested - as in the email, I am absolutely nothing to do with anyone else - Chris or Maleman or whoever - I was just trying to help. I was bored at work, reading Judge Judy, and rectified a few typos, that is all. I was not abusive to anyone, I didn't vandalize anything, I did nothing wrong. It seems that I have been accused just because I hadn't edited for a long while, and when I did start editing again, it was right after someone else who had been banned threatened to come back with a different name. This has nothing to do with me and is a simple coincidence. I don't really know what you mean when you mention a 'pattern' - I just changed some spelling and punctuation errors. I'd be obliged if you could now just unblock me, although after all this hassle I wonder if trying to help the Wikipedia community is worth all the effort. FlubClub 11:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Unblocked
I will lift the block on this account, as I explained to Yamla earlier based on the reaction presented by this account following this block when compared to sockpuppets of EHC and the fact that fair defense against the block was denied when this talk page was protected, this account was blocked when it continued a simmilar pattern (his socks tend to do several minor edits such as the one presented by this account at that moment) that several sockpuppets had done in the past, the fact that this pattern was resumed a few hours after the block of one of these accounts and that a account that was dormant for nearly a year did so produced suspicion, I am comvinced that the odds of a coincidence this big happening must be very small but I'm assuming good faith and will unblock, I will keep a watch for any disruptive edits but I will not block unless something else points towards any sockpuppetry. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H.

For your information
Hi, FlubClub, would you please take a look at User talk:Caribbean H.Q. ? Regards, Xn4  04:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello Xn4, I have just posted this on Carribean H.Q.s page -


 * I've now been unblocked. Thanks Xn4 for your comments here. I never have and never was anything to do with anyone else, it really was a coincidence (however big a coincidence one may think) that I happened to edit soon after Maleman said he was coming back. I am concerned that John Reaves could simply block my talk page without giving me a chance to respond, looking at his user page I believe he shouldn't have that sort of power, perhaps that's what it's all about for him. I wouldn't know how to complain about this, as I can't really understand the complaints process, it was all I could do to find the right link to try and get this sorted without being able to ask for help on my talk page. I hope I won't be blocked again, I only ever changed typos, I never have and never would change actual information as I would not consider myself more knowledgeable than someone else to do that, but I do know how to spell and where capital letters should be. Even though I'm unblocked, as you can see on my talk page I will still be being monitored for any 'disruptive' edits I may make, even though I've never made any, unless changing a spelling error is disruptive! I can only assume Xn4 that we work at the same place, and I apologize for the inconvenience of you being blocked because of this, although I hope you agree that this was completely out of my control and I have done all I could with limited resources to try and rectify it. I don't know much about technical stuff or IP addresses, does all this mean that Maleman has the same IP address as me or something, does it mean he works at the same place, seeing as all this started when I edited at work. I've been at home for the last week so surely my IP address must now be different to the work one? Anyway, I hope all this is over and done with now, all I ever wanted to do was help in my sad little way.FlubClub 12:59, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, again. Actually, I think I may have misunderstood these IP address issues. I gather I was blocked (twice) because you and I had both edited from the same IP address, 194.72.162.199, a large network. I thought at first that Maleman19 had come in from the same network, but looking back over my debate with Caribbean HQ, the only link I can see with Maleman is in CHQ's guesswork that your edits to Judge Judy were a continuation of Maleman's. I can see that someone needs to sort out disruptive users, but it seems to me that Caribbean HQ and John Reaves (who are both admins) are acting more like vigilantes than like the police.

 * I can't anwser for John, maybe you should ask him for a reason. Maleman19 must have a dynamic IP address and that its the "special feature" he uses to evade blocks, in any case its doubtful that your and his accounts shared a same address. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  21:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
