Appeal

It has come to my attention that an extraordinary number of false socks have been falsely attributed to me, without any reason or evidence whatsoever. I know for a fact that you have no evidence these socks are connected to me, because NONE of the recent socks are mine. They bear no resemblance to my writing style, content, or subject. The last account I have used was [[user: around March 2020. I can provide a full list if you’d like. None of the other alleged socks from this year belong to me and I request an appeal of the brutally false, gestapo-like determination that they belong to me. I have always admitted my socks, I do not hide my identity, people know where I edit from (new york, and I never spoof) and what I edit on(politics and philosophy, mostly, not afd trash, please remove this false information from my page at once), and they know I do not create impersonation accounts or accounts with poorly spelled, illegible usernames.

I have an inimitable style that can instantly be recognized, and you’d have to be insane to think the accounts blocked in recent months are related to me in any way. Nor have I ever created a large number of socks simultaneously, as a quick look down my actual record would show. Has the sock puppet investigative crack team simply given up and decided it doesn't matter, just call all socks, no matter whose, mine? I mean, what the hell, guys? I am truly offended to be associated with contemptible cretin like these. I am a better breed of sockmaster than this, and you know that. Associating me with these vermin ultimately only degrades yourselves, as it shows you actually don’t give a shit about what is true, when it is plain as day these socks ain’t mine. I truly thought you guys knew me better than this. I submit my appeal. It is beyond obvious these aren’t my socks, just open your eyes. 2600:1017:B802:C211:C4DD:E14:BE7F:4799 (talk) 03:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

There's not a great deal I'm going do about past attribution, but going forward I am convinced that activity described as 'AfD trolling', 'SPI trolling', 'unblock trolling', impersonation, and other similar activity, should be properly attributed to User:BuickCenturyDriver. Going forward, checkusers need to consult the cuwiki about this. I'm going to mark this LTA page as inactive, with the most obvious recent activity in 2020. That's not to say Kingshowman isn't still editing somewhere, but they haven't been noticeable recently. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 11:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
