This is obviously a sock of Stars as he used it on his User_talk:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars and then the IP went and commented on the Talk:We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together after the report one report was filed on him. ^_^ Swifty *  talk  23:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I just think it's a bit weird that after I report him to the ANI that this IP address all of a sudden pops up and runs their mouth, just like him, agrees with him on the We Are Never Getting Back Together talk page. ^_^ Swifty *  talk  23:22, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey joker, I didn't pop up out of nowhere. Look through my history. Try to get it through your head that maybe I agreed with this editor--they might even be right! And you wrong! "Running one's mouth" is a bit silly coming from someone who tries SPI after DRN and ANI proved a wash. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 02:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no idea who User:66.168.247.159 is. It ain't me. I've been logged in all day. To me, it looks like someone who saw the ANI, looked into what the issue was all about, and decided to comment. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:27, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I only see overlap at which might be accidental or incidental, although if that is him (likely) it is inappropriate to comment in the same forum as both an IP and logged in because it creates the false impression that you are two people. I want to see what he says about it first. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 23:20, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Why in the world do you say it's "likely", Dennis? --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The timing was suspicious and ironic. Maybe not the best choice of words on my part, but at the least, due to the type of edits and where it was commented, I can see how it very well could be the same person.  I don't see "abuse", and only a single overlap on an article talk page, but the timing is a bit ironic. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 23:43, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not convinced strong enough one way or another to make a stand, and closing without prejudice. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 23:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
