 * Evidence

Edit history of this "new user" is a pretty clear indicator given his reaction to events and the verbiage and tactics used, including the attempt to include a banned domain and a reference to "kudos" for getting it blacklisted. Some of the same verbiage is used at an off-site attack group managed by Jason as "Fraud Buster"      See previous case as delineated and adjudicated here and note the standard flurry of accusations, as phrases very common to User:Jason Gastrich.
 * Rebuttal

This is a pathetic argument by assertion from a desperate boy. How do I and Mather talk like Jason? We are just supposed to assume that "Nascentatheist" knows Jason so well that he knows how he talks AND that he is so evenhanded that we should trust his judgment. Hahahaha. "Nascentatheist" is a troublemaker and all he really cares about is tarnishing Christian entries and Jason Gastrich's reputation. He's clearly Dave Horn aka User:WarriorScribe, the same person who had an axe to grind against Jason and Christian entries and he still does. I suggest he be banned from mentioning Jason Gastrich's name AND that he be banned from editing Christian entries. Wikipedia would be a much better and fruitful place. --Really33 06:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment

It would be easy to present still more evidence that Really33 is a sock-puppet of banned user Jason Gastrich, but it would serve no purpose. After Really33 posted the commentary that appears above and my Wikipedia user page was characteristically vandalized, I posted a Notice Board Incident report. An administrator has determined that Really33 is a sock-puppet and has imposed a block on the account. Jason's continued obsession with his boogie-man aside - an obsession that is being ignored - he has shown why his banning should remain in force. It is my theory that CottonMather is a sock of Jason's, based on an edit history that is characteristic of previous edit patterns demonstrated by Jason and his socks. Jason logged in to the account, discovered the placement of the template, and created Really33 for appearances sake. This tactic has never worked for Jason in the past, but he's not known for abandoning failed strategies, as his continued sock-puppetry and his retaliatory accusations of sock-puppetry and his references to his gossip group demonstrate. Regardless, the investigation into the issue of Really33 has been rendered moot by an administrator, and we are left with the activities of CottonMather, an account that is probably, at this point, an inactive sock and will likely remain so now that it has been discovered. - Nascentatheist 11:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Ronaldo847, a new editor, removes two instances of a link critical of Jason, including from Arbustoo's page and from an archive of the Louisiana Baptist University talk page. This would suggest that the user account was created for that specific purpose and Arbustoo hasn't been active for quite some time. - Nascentatheist 15:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * Really33 and Ronaldo847 are blocked. No opinion about CottonMather, which seems to be abandoned. Unless it starts editing disruptively, let's ignore it. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
