76.126.141.88 admits to being a sockpuppet of indefinitely blocked user mbz1. 69.181.42.248 edits from the same location and his post pass the duck test. Guy Macon (talk) 10:54, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The thing is that a few days ago I asked Jimbo a question about the arbcom transparency, and he agreed with me that "everyone should have the chance, in public, to face their accusers and rebut claims". I have never had that chance.
 * Let me save you some troubles. Yes, I am mbz1, and everybody who Guy Macon has notified so helpful knows who I am.

I state:
 * I have never wikihounded anybody.
 * I have never threatened anybody.
 * I have never made legal threats
 * I have never posted personal information of anybody
 * I have never posted private correspondence by anybody
 * I have never engaged in user space harassment

I state that each and every statement I made in my RFC was supported by at least one on-wiki diff.

I am not interested in editing any Wikipedia sites ever again, but I'd like to leave your project in peace, and hopefully help others in a similar situation to do the same. In order to do it one of two things should happen:
 * 1) I am presented with valid evidences (supported by diffs) I harassed somebody. Then I would review them and apologize.
 * 2) If #1 cannot be achieved I am unblocked and allowed to leave in peace. 69.181.42.248

I am not editing your articles, and not uploading my images. I simply want to be treated as a human being by human beings. (talk) 13:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * And because IP should not be linked to a user name, this API should be declined.69.181.42.248 (talk) 13:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Guide to appealing blocks explains what you should do if you believe that you were improperly blocked. Nowhere on that page does it suggest violating Sock puppetry. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:08, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not appealing the block because I am not interested in editing wikipedia. As I said a few times I simply want to be treated as a human being by human beings. Once again Jimbo agreed with me that "everyone should have the chance, in public, to face their accusers and rebut claims". I have never had that chance. I have never been given any evidence of an alleged harassment neither via emails nor publicly. It is the only reason I am here. 69.181.196.103 (talk) 15:34, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * All of the most recent IPs seem to be blocked now. Due to the nature of Mbz1's connection, blocking individual IPs isn't a particularly effective way to deal with her. Engaging her in discussion is also pointless. Usually a brief application of semi-protection to her target is the best idea, in my experience. Closing now.
