User:Mctwating was a single-purpose user who engaged on attacks on an expert on author Robert M. Pirsig on the article devoted to Pirsig. The user was warned, User_talk:Mctwating but continued to engage in attacks.  As the username was clearly a vulgar attack upon the victim, the user was reported:

 * *  Vulgar term in middle of name, and user’s only edits are attacks upon an academic expert on Robert Pirsig.  Kablammo 01:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The user than was banned.

User:Bullyboo is now engaged in the same attacks. 


 * Comment by reporter: Alleged sockpuppeteer's conduct was a combination of offensive user name and offensive edits, both of which were attacks of the object of the user's attacks.  If the user is permitted to register a new name and edit under it then perhaps this is a matter for AIV, but the prior warnings to the sockpuppeteer would be important in determining a remedy.  It is not clear to me whether this should be reported at AIV as well.  Kablammo 20:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Probably the same person, but no apparently violation of WP:SOCK. User seems to have lost interest anyway. --Akhilleus (talk) 22:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
