I actually think this explanation is plausible. The edits from this account look substantially different from those of the other socks. I've confirmed this username exists on at least one popular game-related service, created years ago (albeit years after this account). Checkuser data isn't particularly helpful in this case, but (unusually) I'm rather convinced by this explanation. I'll also note the block was approximately 15 years ago. What are your thoughts? --Yamla (talk) 13:05, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hubris67, note that the blocking admin is on vacation right now but will be back in a few days. Sorry for the delay. --Yamla (talk) 13:10, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Yamla and @Jayron32. At the risk of doxxing myself, I use various combinations of "hubris". On Steam I'm "hubris", my account name is "apc180967" which is my initials and birth date, including the "67". Steam ID is 76561197970151470. On Battle.net I'm "hubris #6441". My teenage boys use my Steam account because all of the VR games are in that account. Lately I just play COD on the battle.net account, but I don't have a lot of gaming time right now. I'm currently spending all my time using GPT-4 to help me write scripts to pull email classification data out of one system to train a machine learning model to classify emails for my business. I can assure you that I'm completely harmless :)
 * OK, checked with GPT-4 as to whether I'm harmless. As usual, it gave me an inconclusive but useful response: "As an AI language model, I cannot directly perceive or evaluate you as an individual. However, whether someone is harmless or not depends on their actions and intentions. It is important to strive for empathy, understanding, and kindness when interacting with others, as this can contribute to a more positive and harmless presence in the world." I reckon on that basis I'm probably pretty harmless. hubris (talk) 19:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Also just remembered that I make a small monthly donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. Not sure if that can be used to check that I'm just a regular person. Latest transaction details:

 * I have no memories of the block, and given that it's been this long, I think we can say that even if they are related WP:SO/WP:ROPE is more than sufficiently met. If you find their explanation plausible, and with to extend them WP:AGF and unblock this account, feel free to.  -- Jayron 32 23:58, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
