 * Report submission by

This user has stated on various external messageboards his intent to troll comics-related messageboards and has frequently used wikipedia as a method for his trolling tactics, vandalizing pages on artists he has had flamewars with on countless internet fora, the most obvious example being the cartoonist/illustrator Daniel Hellman.
 * Evidence

"Rhinoracer" a.k.a Alex Buchet, is a disruptive troll known for stirring up trouble and malicious trolling from forum to forum. He was, not so long ago, banned from the TCJ forums for vile threats and highly disruptive behavior, which included the threathening of other forum member's careers and children:

''"You're a semi-talented, mediocre hack who is enraged at being progressively shut out of a field-- illustration-- where better artists work cheaper. So you take out your fear and frustration on the Internet.

Fucking face up to it, you idiot. Your daughter is NEVER going to college: her old man screwed up, big time.

Hey, you sneer at Dave Sim, and (truth to tell) I don't have much time for the jerk, either.

But-- he has kept the rights to his work, and still gets checks from it. The same can be said of Peter Bagge, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, or Dan Clowes. You? You get zilch.

They chose the hard road, while you laughed at them as you whored out for the easy money.

Guess what?

When whores age, they get dumped.

So choke on your own vomit, you cortisone-bloated, nelly-voiced, tranny Charlie Chan impersonator. You'll be out on the street soon enough. Yay for the cruelty of the marketplace.

And would some kind but severe soul ensure that this momser's pollution of the gene pool remain temporary?"''

''"How's your sweet baby daughter, Danny? Tell her ol'Uncle Al is thinking of her.

Often."''

"'BTW, Joe, I'm going to hurt you.'"

- Threats towards comicon forum member and graphic designer Joe Kletz

"'Georgie's still smarting over my fucking his mother, but come on-- it was an act of charity towards a sick and ugly woman.'"

- A typical threat towards a forum member's mother.

Please consider this, my good wikipedians, and ban Alex.

P.S: If you have any doubts as to Rhinoracer Alex's identity please notify the comicon messageboard administrators or (email address removed) who will gladly attest to Alex's reverse-pyschology troll tactics and his using wikipedia as an integral part of them.

I am not Rhinoracer. KNyholm is "a public domain sobriquet, like 'Alan Smithee' or 'ProJunior' or 'Shamrock Squid'." Whatever Rhinoracer may have done elsewhere, he has not earned a ban on Wikipedia. KNyholm 14:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet, or a user of sockpuppets, unlike User:Troll-free Wiki. I request a checkuser be run comparing User:Alex Buchet, User:KNyholm, User:DannyHellman. This is a rather despicable attempt to use Wikipedia to further a contemptible troll war. Rhinoracer 15:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Need RFCU here, someone submit it. Otherwise, I'll close the case in a few days. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 17:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi... I just submitted one, but I'm not sure if it got through. --Troll-free Wiki 01:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, I am not Rhinoracer, as RFCU may confirm. I have never claimed to be, and my username is a public domain sobriquet. . Ha ha! KNyholm 04:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

User:KNyholm and User:Alex Buchetand User:troll-free Wiki are identity thieves and vandals. Please check their user histories to confirm their vandalism. "Troll-free Wiki" is also a single-purpose account. Please check my own contributions to determine that I have never committed the slightest act of vandalism in a year and a half on Wikipedia. All my edits have been constructive. The three of them should be speedily banned. Rhinoracer 10:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Feuds from messageboards should not be carried over to Wikipedia, but it's so much fun that we do it anyway.

I filed the RFCU, we'll know more before long. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 15:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

RFCU shows Alex Buchet and KNyholm are the same. It also shows Rhinoracer and Troll-free Wiki are totally unrelated to them or each other. Alex Buchet and KNyholm are both blocked indef, Alex is the master account. KNyholm was created right after the block of Alex, so KNyholm was also evading a block. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 19:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
