Statement by Gavin the Chosen
I have changed accounts to this new name, Gimmiet, clean slate, ya kno... well, hjeres what i hve to say about this RFAr, fDreamGuy, as noted in the links many examples, has a rather nasty history , even before i encountered him, and long after, of being unessessarily reude and insulting to people, he seems to use policies like civillity and NOR to his advantage, hiding behiind them ,and abusing them as he sees fit. one example is his rather insistant attempts to classify otherkin as a mental illness, by adding a link, or discussion about clinical lycanthropy on it, against consensus. He also has a hgistory of being rude and insulting to administrtors, chief among those is slimvirgin.

all in all i have observed unrepentant abuse of other users oin  many matters, even when i am not involved, ( that being a point becasue he claims/claimed i am the cause)  this incivillity and rudeness  and the like shows absolutly no sighn of changing, and it is becasue of that that i reccomend a permanant IPban.Gimmiet 03:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

here is a link to many of his problematic edits, though i will provide more specifics if requested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/DreamGuy/Statement

Statement by Eequor
In my view, DreamGuy has an ongoing interest to push a defamatory point of view into the articles on therianthropy and otherkin. This seems to consist mainly of emphasizing similarities between these subjects and clinical lycanthropy, a mental illness; see and. He has additionally made statements which demonstrate a clear bias against these cultures ; in light of these, it is difficult to believe he edits in good faith. I feel he should be forbidden from editing Therianthropy, Otherkin, and Clinical lycanthropy.
