was active whenever the subject of Gab (social network) organizes canvassing campaigns against this article, churns out walls of sea-lioning text and was eventually site banned by community for being a SPA POV-pusher. I was one of the people interacted most with this user. (ANI link)

- appeared out of the blue, sent me directly to ANI during a canvassing campaign and blocked by checkuser for evasion in Jan. (ANI link)

- appeared during the subject's latest publicity attempt - Gab Dissenter‎ - their editing style, summary and language, as well as behavior such as blanking user talk page, edit warring, calling people's input harassment, and unwarrantedly remove or change other people's comments as personal attacks - all these strike me as similar to my experience with Ridiceo. almost cements this.

- similar IP range and altered meaning other people's comments. Might as well have a check.

Note - Sockpuppeteer might also be. Ridiceo's comments on R's talk page suggests that they're organizing off-site.

Note - Ridiceo themselves are probably not a new user. Proficiency in WikiLawyering and citing WP:Casting aspersions are pretty much a dead giveaways. Tsumikiria⧸ 🌹🌉 03:50, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The three IPs edited for 13 hours, 6 hours, and a single edit. None of them came back for another edit session. The master is already indef blocked. There's nothing to be done. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 15:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
