Interacting with previous opponent [1] Straight in at Afd he pushed [2] Usual tag removal and protestations [3]

this isn't fair, I haven't even done anything Molag Bal related, MickMacNee you are a very disruptive and unacceptable user, accusing and arguing with everyone who disagrees you and calling people socks because they make a helpful edit on an article. 81.132.214.251 (talk) 18:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strange, that is exactly what MB always says, and especially odd given the links above. Change the record. MickMacNee (talk) 18:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps a request for checkuser would be helpful? In any event, blanking or attempting to tag this for deletion would be viewed as disruption. Let the community look into this and we will see what there is to see. Dlohcierekim 19:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I see no congruence between editing patterns. Link 1. Don't see relevance. Link 2. So the anon did the right thing and removed a redlink to a page that had been deleted? Link 3. A protestation of innocence is proof of sockpuppetry? Dlohcierekim 19:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- 1. This is a massive two party case, all IPs and socks of MB have been warring with Gregsthebaker. 2. I don't think IPs removing links minutes after Afd closure that the same sock as Andrenate (blocked confirmed) wanted removed early is very normal do you? Especially given (1) 3.Just look at the histories of the recent banned socks of MB at the Afd'd article, all have the same characteristics of immediately knowing the sock policy, reverting tags without querying, disrupting cases etc etc. I just wish someone would take the time and look at the whole pattern, he is getting away with murder, and has managed singlehandedly to Afd an article today. Its beyond a joke. MickMacNee (talk) 19:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- How does one singlehandedly AfD an article? Dlohcierekim 20:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- By basically amassing 120 socks, using them to make it look like the article is heavily controversial, and relying on lazy Afd voters who just look at the surface of the issue, and admins who can't be bothered to do their job properly. See List of Geordies. MickMacNee (talk) 20:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You come off a 72-hour block for incivility, and make a crack like that? The AfD was correctly formed, argued and closed - take it to DRV if you want. Black Kite 20:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What is the policy on striking comments from sock accounts? You blocked two of them after the Afd started, so don't give me this. MickMacNee (talk) 20:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am taking all this as harrassment, especially since there is no real evidnece and mostly all due to this. 81.132.214.251 (talk) 21:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
- No point in taking this any further; the IP is dynamic and will have been re-assigned by now. All other reported Molag Bal socks have blocked AFAIK. Black Kite 11:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
