This is a case of mistaking the use of SPAs on unrelated topics as a case of sockpuppetry. In no way did I use this SPA for any manipulative purpose, or to violate Wikipedia policy. A survey of my edit activity on the Mundane astrology article and subsequent AN complaint prove this. Only this SPA was used there. My problems began when I complained about vote stacking/meat puppetry by FringeTheories/Noticeboard editors in AfD debates on the article, Mundane astrology. The FT/N editors swarmed all over me at the Administrators Noticeboard (AN) like bees on a bear with his paw stuck in their hive and managed to get me speedily blocked and the complaint closed. They did so by making a spurious allegation against me that I was previously using the ID of EagleEye, who had earlier been blocked. This is a patently false claim. I have no idea who this editor is. I stated that I was acting in good faith. However, before I could reply to their yes/no inquiries, a Check user exercise revealed the use of SPAs and it was interpreted as a violation and my account was blocked. Meanwhile, the allegation about me being EagleEye came out "inconclusive." This is because there is no link, only a false accusation. As an aside, @Nyttend, you may recall that while I used the ID Plankto, we interacted on the AfD debate on Ray Lewis (police), a page I created. My conduct there was also in complete harmony with WP policies and protocols and I accepted the collective decision because it didn't look like it was rigged.
