Evidence submitted by ari89
The IP address was signing as "Hammy64000" and was restoring personal attacks to their user page which they lost editing rights to, they have also picked up on the discussions left off by Hammy64000. For Samson of Normal, they have only made one on Hammy64000's user page which was an attack against the administrator SarekOfVulcan who was responsible for the block. --Ari (talk) 00:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if this will get to the right people--I don't see my name in the list. By the way, Ari's uses accusations of attacks as a strategy. He even calls disagreements about article content attacks. I have not been a problem editor. I have contributed here to the best of my ability, but find I've spent most of my time defending myself. I did lose it after I decided to quit and I expected Hammy64000 to be blocked, but because of personal experience I have a hard time believing that a block where SpigotMap is involved is impartial--he has defended Ari's actions since the beginning--and from his talk page archives I gather I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I didn't try to hide who I was. My account is blocked. I replaced article content that Ari89 deleted. It was content that was in the original article, which I edited, so it was basically undoing vandalism, not the other way around. I made some comments (not abusive) on the discussion page and I did not try to hide who I was. I may be wrong, but I think a sockpuppet is someone who tries to pretend he is someone else.

The account name, User talk:Samson of Normal was set up as a joke about SarekOfVulcan, who blocked my account in behalf of user talk:SpigotMap. Samson is sort of an alternative sun god. It wasn't even a joke about him but about his name. It was only meant to be used on my own page, but SpigotMap has been watching my page since April and harrassing me there. (user talk:Hammy64000) Samson of Normal has not been used anywhere but my own pages.

Ari had no consensus to delete material or to do the original merge. He has reverted all repairs I attempted to do. Then the article was protected with his deletions in place. I thought the article was protected from him, so I was surprised that when I said I was quitting, the protection was taken off. By that time I was already blocked--I had decided to give up. It seemed to me that if people were asked to comment on an article that had been dismantled, they couldn't possibly make a good decision. So I attempted to replace 4 missing sections. (In April he merged Virgin birth (mythology) with Miraculous births. He then reverted any attempts I made to undo his changes, requested sources on material that already had sources, and deleted sources and content.  Then he redirected the old article so you couldn't even see it any more.  The article is protected now and I haven't edited the article in, I think, two days.  They are supposed to be having a belated merge discussion, but Ari does not participate and is still free to make changes to the article.  I have no intention of participating there now.  I've already given all my arguments.) By the way, I can't even edit here if I sign on, so I have to sign manually. user talk:Samson of Normal67.142.130.29 (talk) 06:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Samson blocked and tagged. I've left the IPs alone as they haven't edited in a day. Further abuse from them can be reported to AIV. TN X Man 13:13, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
