I think that Relax777 is the sockmaster, and Dougmac7 the sockpuppet. The Relax777 account has been in use for more than two years; the Dougmac7 account was created a few days ago for the apparent purpose of exaggerating support for one side in an editing dispute at Amy Grant. The user behind the accounts has given no credible explanation for the use of multiple accounts in the same dispute; but the Dougmac7 account has been used to vandalize my user page and to post uncivil attacks on me on the talk page of a user not involved in the Amy Grant dispute, creating the impression that it was intended as a "bad hand" account. The user has today admitted to being behind both accounts, but not until after possible socking issues were raised on Talk:Amy Grant. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:52, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
While Dougmac7 readily admitted to being Relax777, it is also clear to me that both accounts were used in tandem for disruption, clearly against policy and blockable. Relax777 indefinitely blocked and tagged, while Dougmac7 is blocked 3 days for sock puppetry. MuZemike 05:33, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have decided to unblock Dougmac7 after having read the entire ANI post as well as some of the commentary on his talk page. I'm AGFing that he won't disrupt like this again. MuZemike 06:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
