And, Leatherstocking was just
indefinitely blocked by Georgewilliamherbert. Oddly enough, GWH is not claiming that he is me. It appears to be case of living on the West Coast in a very similar way.
He might be at least on the edge of making this claim:

Behavioral evidence and now technical evidence connects Leatherstocking with the LaRouche sockpuppets, including the {{user5|Herschelkrustofsky}} sockpuppet farm.

There is a gradual transition now from "possibly" to "definitely," with no perceptible change in the evidence presented. At ANI, there is this exchange:

So, you are saying that Leatherstocking is a sockpuppet of Herschelkrustofsky. Is that correct? --Apoc2400 (talk) 13:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Not necessarily. This is a single-purpose account with a link to the LaRouche organisation, which group has been responsible for some of the longest-lived edit wars and POV disputes on Wikipedia. There are several arbitration cases aroud LaRouche. So this could be a meatpuppet, a sockpuppet, or just a disruptive POV-pushing SPA, but the action in all three cases is about the same.

From there we go to Jgordon, who
in refusing Leatherstocking's "unblock" request, tells him point-blank, "you're a sock." And Will Beback, after the traditional
moment of private ecstacy over a fallen opponent, has begun his elaborate scalp-taking ritual of spending hours striking out comments by Leatherstocking on talk pages and posting triumphant notices that he is a sock (
example.)
