I first interacted with this user because of two edits to the Glastonbury, Connecticut article. The first edit was posted by, and I reverted it myself. The second edit was posted by  and was reverted by another user. After that second reversion, LOTkid vandalized my user page. I posted a user warning template to his account, then politely asked him about sources for his assertions about Glastonbury schools. He was civil enough in return, but his answers were odd (he couldn't check one school because he didn't drop his kids off there anymore).

As I had the page on my watchlist, I noticed another editor's reversion of what he/she thought was vandalism. Having seen similar edits from the two accounts and with the fact that one was editing the other, I figured that LOTkid had forgotten to log in before modifying his user page and thus I reverted the reversion.

Tonight, LOTkid made some changes to his user page and posted what I thought was an odd edit summary, "Actually im not that other user when im not loged on. Somone else please stop 72.200.166-. by the way i always log on:)"

I then checked the IP's talk page for the first time and discovered that it had racked up a pile of user warnings and a couple of blocks. I then noticed in the history that LOTkid had blanked the IP's talk page then added the comment, "why shouldn't he?" .

I asked LOTkid to provide an explanation for all this on his talk page, but as of 1900 (UTC-5) there hasn't been a response.

It is my feeling that this is a case of "Good hand/Bad hand" Sock-puppetry. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk 00:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Addendum Those prior two edits rather clinch the case. I've had no conversations with the anon user yet he answered my comment above about the schools which I only discussed with LOTkid.&mdash;Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 01:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Addendum 2 It appears that this user used his registered account to evade the block placed on his IP address on February 8-9 2007. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 21:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Obvious block evasion, and I'm not sure if there are any technical violations of 3RR, but I see disruptive edits and edit warring from this editor both anonymously and on the LOTkid account. 48 hours each. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
