Blocked for sock puppetry
Note that this was all confirmed by CheckUser in the report you submitted. MuZemike 07:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you provide any further information about how you happened to become interested in this user and how you happened to join Wikipedia to deal with it? It seems improbable that you are a brand-new user who stumbled upon User: Mathsci purely by coincidence. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not at all interested in this user as such. I'm mildly interested in cranks and crankery, which is how I came to spot User:P0CF1A on that AFD as an obvious sockpuppet, and reported it at SPI, and I was right.  It seems I was wrong about the puppeteer, and acknowledge that, fortunately no harm was done.  I also helped out with a couple of other SPI while I was at it, and I was right there too.  I really fail to see how any of this constitutes fraud, disruption or deception, and I'm very disappointed that no-one came to this page to discuss it with me before making that accusation.  Oh, and, no, I'm not brand-new, obviously.  This would be a pretty dismal introduction to Wikipedia if I were.  Mister Collins (talk) 19:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll take the comment from Spartaz as an acknowledgement that I was blocked for making a mistake, rather than disruption, fraud etc. I can live with that.  TTFN.  Mister Collins (talk) 21:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
