123HelloBozo456 is a brand new account with a strong focus on the topic of abortion:. Their edits have been almost universally reverted. After I left them this personalized message, the account MircosoftLaptop123 appeared and continued to edit one of the same sentences at Abortion debate which 123HelloBozo456 had been focused on. Aside from the obvious similarity in their editing and in their verbose edit summary style (compare with ), there is the fact that both accounts have "123" in their names. Also there is the fact that 123HelloBozo456 thanked me for three edits to Abortion debate just now, all at once, and then immediately MircosoftLaptop123 appeared and thanked me for two. So yeah, they're the same person. As to their motivation, I'm not sure how to categorize it, but it appears to be a form of trolling. I think that we are dealing with a very immature and probably quite young editor, but nonetheless the behavior is disruptive. Thanks, Generalrelative (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I'm not necessarily advocating for this user to be indef blocked (unless both accounts turn out to be socks of some longer-term sockmaster). But it seems that we're beyond the point where a warning from me is likely to do any good. Generalrelative (talk) 01:18, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

 * There's no doubt these are the same person, so no need for CU. When I was out shoveling snow this afternoon, I found a huge deposit of AGF under a snowbank, so just 1 week for Bozo, and indef without tags for Mr. Laptop. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
