TempusFugit 06:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Jeff, you are truely a strange, strange person. Does EVERYONE on the 'public internets' try to break into your machine?


 * User:Sue me Jeff was indeed my first Wikipedia account, which got a username block on its first day of existance (BTW not by User:Guanaco as claimed by the accuser but by another admin). I did not hide the fact, see . I have nothing to do with all the other usernames listed (or any other facts he lists) by an account which was specially created to accuse me. I suspect that User:TempusFugit is another sockpuppet of Jeffrey Vernon Merkey who has been indefinitely blocked as User:Gadugi (and many sockpuppets listed by me on my talk page ) for legal threats, editing the article on himself and vandalism. His other active account at present is User:Sint Holo. This user is known for using several IP numbers so I suppose he created the new account with an untainted IP number but most probably one belonging to COMCAST Utah netblock. The probable reason is revange because already five sockpuppets of Jeff Merkey have been blocked thanks to my documenting his Wikipedia activity. Friendly Neighbour 21:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I would like to add the information that user Sint Holo has been indefinitely blocked by Jimbo Wales himself as a sockpuppet of the banned user Gadugi. Because the accuser has not tried to hide that he is Jeffrey Vernon Merkey (=Gadugi) by providing info from logs of a site Jeff Merkey operates (Wikigadugi.org), I believe TempusFugit should be blocked as well. Friendly Neighbour 08:51, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Jeff, if someone is breaking in to your piss-poor clone of Wikipedia, CALL THE FBI! Sounds like a federal offence.  But it is not, and will never be, a problem for the real Wikipedia.  Also, you are banned from here.  Go away. --Vryl 00:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi CheckUser. I discussed this situation with Danny at the Wikimedia Foundation and it was relayed that they will be removing the odious postings and harassing dialgoue from these users.  I am compiling the full report on the behavior of these accounts for Danny to review.  I am also putting together the lexicon translator for English to Cherokee for chr.wikipedia.org and 50% of all donations are being forwarded to Wikimedia for support of Native American Articles and Wikipedia on behalf of our people.  At present, we are translating all of the English Wikipedia content from the XML dumps into the Cherokee Language over at the wikigadugi project with a lexicon translation program we are donating to Wikimedia Foundation, and giving the source code and libraries to Wikimedia for support of the Native Cherokee Wikipedia.  If these harassing folks keep posting inappropriate materials to my talk page, stalking me and disrupting my work, or posting legal threats, please do wikipedia a favor and block them from doing so in the future and get them off this site.  Thanks. Sint Holo 02:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Jeff. I'd like to point out that you cannot BUY your way on wikipedia. It is, by its very nature, a collaboration. Wikigadugi is where you can BUY your viewpoint into existence. You are indef blocked for a multitude of reasons, please go play in your broken fork. KTHXBYE Vigilant 05:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Jeff, what's inappropriate in adding links to an archives you yourself created? Anyone can check that it was my only input to your talk page. I also never deleted one dot from the page. You did. Friendly Neighbour 05:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * There's no need for a checkuser., and are usernames blocked for username violations so if the users concerned are now using non-bogus usernames, there's no problem (in contrast to Jeff's blocks, which are aimed at Jeff himself because of Jeff's atrocious disruptive behaviour), Whether or not Vigilant or FriendlyNeighbour are engaged in other forms of bad behaviour on Wikipedia is a job for some other Wikipedia admin page, not this one. --Aim Here 15:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Well. there is some sense in this user check. The only two active accounts Jeff Merkey wants checked are Vigilant and me. I'm not Vigilant and I'm glad this will be proved beyond any doubt. Friendly Neighbour 16:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * You can see the amount of pending checkuser requests here. There are only a few users on WP able to checkuser and they're obviously oversubscribed. I'm pretty sure you and Vigilant could care less about being checkusered but I don't see why Jeff should waste admin time with a request that, even if he proves it wouldn't, in itself, warrant anyone being blocked from Wikipedia. As for that supposed hack-attack, if it's true (and Jeff's a big fat liar so I wouldn't put it past him to falsify evidence of this sort) that's a job for Jeff's network administrator, for the culprit and his ISP, and in extreme cases, for law enforcement - not for Wikipedia admin and certainly not for this page. --Aim Here 18:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The accuser, TempusFugit has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of the banned Gadugi (in real life Jeffrey Vernon Merkey). Friendly Neighbour 18:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

The accused Vigilant was also blocked indefinitely for "Sole purpose to harass banned user, Jeff Merkey" (which sounds like an oxymoron to me). Anyway, it seems I am the last non-blocked account named in this request which makes it probably moot. Friendly Neighbour 05:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
