User acknowledges using multiple accounts to substantiate claims regarding recent RfC here. Bryan Hopping T  03:27, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Misleading statement by Hopping as well as many acts of malicious behavior. The accusation is unwarranted and I have already spoken to an administrator about this user's inappropriate behavior and erroneous accusation. I have been using a single name to edit for months and was making a clean start and admittedly was unfamiliar with the policy (I am now familiarized) and no administrator told me about the clean start policy when I asked about related topics. User tends to take things grossly out of context-please note also offered to correct the Rfc by acknowledging the former account now that I am familiar with the clean start policy. This user's accusation stems from a desire to "not lose" an argument-it is simply an evasion because he had no logical counterarguments and refuses to participate in a constructive discussion with me and instead decides to ask the other parent when I request mediation and go through the proper channels to settling a dispute which he incorrectly characterizes. I have been informed more than once that Hopping's reversion of my edits were misguided and incorrect and despite his initial appearance of cooperation he has continued to revert my edits based on an old, unresolved debate which only partially pertains to the edits I made. As soon as I talk to the DRN which I was recommended by many users to speak with, he decides, not to have a discussion with me, but to defame me with accusations of sockpuppetry and post this discussion in a public place (see the help desk he unnecessarily placed this discussion in a public forum where it did not belong). Please read my comment on AGK's talk page for further information. I will be happy to answer questions if you have them. Thank you. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 04:11, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

How do citations 3 or 4 show hostility in any way? Defending myself from false claims maybe but not hostility as you falsely claim.TylerDurden8823 (talk) 05:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

This user has also been told by another user to not "poke the bear" and advised him to read WP:Hound implying that he is hounding me. This can be seen clearly here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#Contact_if_someone_purposely_and_erroneously_accuses_you_of_sockpuppetry.3F  TylerDurden8823 (talk) 05:16, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I also believe Hopping is trying to "Game the System." I certainly cannot assume good faith any longer. From the gaming the system page I think he is "mischaracterizing other editors' actions to make them seem unreasonable, improper, or deserving of sanction, has committed bad faith negotiating (he lead me to believe we would hold a discussion before taking action but went ahead and reverted anyway), and "retribution". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gaming_the_system  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TylerDurden8823 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you TnXman, I assure you I have zero intention of using those old usernames, I haven't used them in months and do not have plans to use them again. Should I revise my comment on the talk page to ensure transparency as I suggested?TylerDurden8823 (talk) 15:27, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Well, TylerDurden8823 has admitted to using the other accounts and is not socking now. I would say that the other two accounts must remain retired and TylerDurden8823 should consider himself officially aware of our multiple account policy. Further socking will result in blocks.
