LGR was recently banned as the reincarnation of a banned user. Previously, LGR had weighed in fairly extensively on the reliability of the Daily Caller as a source, vis-a-vis the Bob Menendez prostitution allegations that were then being reported. LGR also attempted to impugn the reliability of the Washington Post (see here) LGR also mentioned "tablet typing" in that discussion. I have heard second- or third-hand that LGR was located in the VA/DC area.

The two IP editors have over the last few days focused on edits to Daily Caller and Bob Menendez, as well as posting at WP:RSN. They have identified their edits as belonging to the same person in the RSN posting. They have suggested the Daily Caller is RS, and have made suggestions that WaPo coverage is not reliable. Geolocation suggests VA/DC area, one ip from a Comcast cable modem, another from Verizon Wireless (which recalled the tablet comment).

Some edits occurred before LGR's ban, so I might be off base here. But the two most proximal edits of the 69.x ip and LGR,  both are concerned with sourcing, and both seem to have a similar "voice" [  UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  16:43, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
