See Defending yourself against claims. I live in Ohio! According to Mike, the other user is from Massachusetts. How can I possibly be in two places so far apart at the same time?

All I did was to defend another user who was being bullied by Mike.

But the point is moot. I would like to invoke my right to vanish. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do so, so if someone could take care of that for me, I'd appreciate it. Srwm4 (talk) 16:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users
Unfortunately the point is not moot. If Srwm4 is invoking RTV, that means they don't intend to edit ever again, under any identity. If CU confirms that the ip is the same user, then we have a sock on our hands, and users who are "under a cloud" are not usually afforded the courtesy of vanishing which is in fact not a guaranteed right despite the name. It's also entirely possible, as has been brought up in the related ANI thread, that this has all been a big coincidence and no socking has occurred. So, a checkuser seems warranted either way, hopefully it will be conclusive one way or the other and we can put this whole issue to bed once and for all.

looks fairly likely, would like a CU to clear this up, regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 09:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I would also point out that it is disingenuous to operate two different personae, and then ask to vanish under only one in order to evade detection. In this case, the connection between the two is ✅. Dominic·t 08:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
