Derailing an SPI
General response to DHeyward's first comment on the SPI page: if you have a problem with another editor's style of interaction, take your concerns to WP:ANI or otherwise follow the steps of dispute resolution. The SPI process is not about the notional forum-shopping of the filing party, or whatever else you are pointing out. This investigation is looking into the question of whether a person in New Zealand is using multiple accounts. If you don't have observations about that question, then don't comment.

To respond to your insinuations, I didn't "mysteriously" arrive at the noticeboard where Sommers' book was being discussed. The noticeboard was not Reliable Sources Noticeboard, it was the No Original Research Noticeboard. I have all the noticeboards on my watchlist, and have for years. When I saw that Sonicyouth86 was active there, the edits showing up on my watchlist (which currently has 19,000 pages under observation) then I went over there to see what was being said, because the section header in my watchlist made it look like it was about feminism, which is a subject of interest to me. I wanted to see what my wiki acquaintance Sonicyouth86 was getting into. Your word "mysteriously" was chosen to make it look like I am colluding with Sonicyouth86 in some dark and evil fashion, with you even suggesting that we are using an "audio link", whatever that is. Instead, since running into each other in October 2011 at the men's rights movement talk page where we agreed that a scholarly viewpoint should be foremost, Sonicyouth86 and I have enjoyed infrequent but constructive cooperation on a handful of articles, always a positive experience. I have a similar friendly and constructive relationship with dozens of Wikipedia editors. There's no mystery here, just like-minded users coming together to work on a common problem.

You posted a link to the interactions between me and Sonicyouth86, insinuating meatpuppetry, drawing the conclusion that we were joined by the issue of men's rights. First, that happens to be the article where we both opposed the many activist editors who wanted to remake the page into a promotion of the men's rights movement. Second, if you want to make an accusation of meatpuppetry then file your own SPI, don't tack it onto a completely different one that is in progress. You'll have a tough job trying to prove collusion between me and Sonicyouth86 as there isn't any.

FYI, you'll get pinged when I put your name in the user5 template like this:. See? Any link to your username will ping you, if it is in talk/work space and properly signed, and if you have not turned off the feature in your preferences. See WP:Notifications for details.
