Suspected sockpuppets
User:Lynchenberg has a previous history of accusing Mike Patton and the band Mr. Bungle of hating or abusing autistic people, with zero actual evidence of such other than citing an article in which the band calls a classmate a "goober" without any reference whatsoever to autism. In the past, this has been done via editing on articles, while other times it has been via talk pages. Lynchenberg also tried something similar with concerning the sexual assault charges made against Jimmy Urine of the band Mindless Self Indulgence, falsely stating that the charges are due to Jimmy Urine having autism. When told that there is a problem with adding baseless accusations to articles and talk pages, Lynchenberg would then accuse users of hating autistic people or wanting Lynchenberg to commit suicide. This happened until User:Ohnoitsjamie removed one of their accusations and warned them to stop.] In November 2021, Lynchenberg apologized on my talk page for prior actions and stated that they would not be making problematic edits anymore. It is now June 2022 and they seem to be using anonymous IP addresses to make edits about Mike Patton hating autistic people again, using the exact same terminology (eg. "goober") used in the previous edits making those claims. NJZombie (talk) 13:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 * For now, I've blocked that 2001:569:7FCF:5B00:0:0:0:0/64 for 6 months given their other BLP edits using questionable sources. OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:53, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Yeah, in looking at their other edits in that IP range, I see they also gravitate toward the Dave Sim and Bauhaus (band) article which are also common Lynchenberg topics. NJZombie (talk) 14:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * IP was range blocked. Given that Lynchenberg has not edited since December 2021, I don't think further actions are needed. 0x Deadbeef 06:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Nothing more to do here. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 18:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with closing. But if User:Lynchenberg comes back and tries using his account again then it could be a different story. EdJohnston (talk) 01:59, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

User:Lynchenberg is a user who has been warned several times now over the past nine years for instances of WP:BLP violations within edit summaries and talk pages,. Ohnoitsjamie has warned them multiple times about leaving nonsensical, shouting edit summaries, as well as for making personal attacks against other editors. Recently, they've taken issue with a revert I made concerning the co-creator of the The Ren & Stimpy Show. After Ohnoitsjamie's warning, following that last rant, Lynchenberg stopped posting. Suddenly a new IP address has appeared making the same edit as Lynchenberg and making similar snarky comments/attacks in the edit summaries ("Do five seconds of research."). My suspicion is that now that Lynchenberg has received what could be seen as a final warning, they are attempting to make the same edits while logged out. Their most recent edit making a false accusation of my hating autistic people matches previous claims made by Lynchenberg as well. NJZombie (talk) 19:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

 * . However it seems very obvious to me that this is the same user behaviourally and I will be indeffing Lynchenberg given the findings in the previous SPI case and 's comments there. Honestly this user seems pretty much WP:NOTHERE and I'm amazed they made it as long as they did. Spicy (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Obvious edit from previously blocked account of User:Lynchenberg making the same edit at The Ren & Stimpy Show that they were trying to push previously, ultimately leading to their using multiple accounts and being blocked. First attempt One of several attempts using an IP address after being warned, which lead to their being blocked. Most recent attempt to use an IP address since being blocked.
