Badlydrawnjeff




Tx9 apparently an attack account created for the sole purpose of making false accusations against me (bs report on 3RR). Possible sock of Badlydrawnjeff due to nature of report, and Badlydrawnjeff's interest in and defense of the report. KillerChihuahua?!? 12:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm so glad I watchlisted this. I'm not Tx9 - I haven't ever used a sockpuppet, and don't intend to start now. Man, good faith has gone completely out the window this week. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You seemed a likely candidate, as you have strong feelings about the article, and really seem to dislike me. However, if you assure me this is not your sock, I will withdraw the request. KillerChihuahua?!? 15:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Have we even encountered eachother prior to this article in any substantive way? I certainly dislike your attitude toward the 3RR report and your knee-jerk sockpuppet accusation, but I don't believe I've had any animosity toward you beforehand.  I wouldn't have needed to use a sockpuppet, I certainly have nothing to hide from. Calling me a "likely candidate" doesn't make much sense, either.  It's not a sock. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We had opposing views on the Armando (blogger) situation; I opposed your Rfa. You left unfriendly posts on my userpage, at which I posted a joke, which I thought defused the situtation - ringing any bells? I realize that's not necessarily enough to suspect, however when Tx9 registed only to report me, and then you started posting (rather verbosely) on that, it was enough to make me suspicious. If I was in error, I will take you at your word, and apologise. KillerChihuahua?!? 16:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I forgot you were involved with Armando, go figure. You're in error regarding the sock, either way, so I'll leave it to you how you want it.  I look forward to being exonerated if you decide to continue with it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Even if the Tx9 account is a long-time wikipedian, registering a new account to lodge a complaint anonymously does not seem to be a violation of policy (as long as the account is not otherwise disruptive), and similar requests have been declined in the past. (It is certainly unpleasant to deal with an anonymous critic and I sympathize.) I also note that the ED article has attracted a lot of new editors and prompted 4 other 3RR reports today. We can leave this up for the checkusers but if you both want to take a step back I will be happy to close this as withdrawn. If the Tx9 account becomes overtly disruptive or appears to be acting in concert with other accounts this can be reopened at any time. Thatcher131 15:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my request, thank you. Please leave this until Badlydrawnjeff sees my response, above - he asked a question and is entitled to the answer. KillerChihuahua?!? 16:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Closed as withdrawn. Thatcher131 16:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
