It's not sockpupetry to neglect to login every time a user edits Wikipedia. This is simply another personal attack and harassment from Google's stooge. RichardBennett 01:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, yes it is sockpuppetry. And it is against the rules for one of your sockpuppets to edit while one of your accounts has been suspended, as here.WolfKeeper 01:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You also haven't labelled your accounts as being sockpuppets and related them to your primary accounts. You haven't edited using RichardBennett in more than 2 months, whereas there have been numerous anonymous edits from atleast 2 different IPs many of which violate WP:NPA. You're seriously telling us you just 'forgot' to log on each and every time?WolfKeeper 01:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * So if an admin was to lock out editing from these two anonymous accounts that would help you remember to log in?WolfKeeper 01:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I can't be bothered with all these idiotic rules you keep making up. The essence of Sockpuppetry is an attempt to bypass a ban, which I have no need to do as I've not been banned from editing this nonsensical pile of crap called Wikipedia. So stop the lies and slanders and argue your employer's case on its merits. RichardBennett 23:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * What is this, then? That's called a block, which means you can't edit Wikipedia for that time, not just that one account. -Amarkov blahedits 15:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Conclusions None of the three accused accounts have edited in a month, which makes me reluctant to issue any preventative blocks. However I have to say it takes a rather high level of forgetfulness to forget to log in often enough in a short enough period to get a 3RR block for an IP address. RichardBennet, if you do come back to edit here, please consider this a warning to be more careful and log in when making controversial edits. AnonEMouse (squeak) 03:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
