Apparently, Delicious carbuncle thinks that Shankbone is the operator of several multiple accounts. Namely,

He asked about it at AN first, then posted the SPI request. He has notified Mr. Shankbone on his userpage.

WatchingWhales was discussed here, and led some wit to create WatchingWales.

To Mr. Shankbone's credit, pretty much all of those pseudos (except for the Bucktoothed Beaver one, which was news to me...) were discussed already on WR. Since we're pretty much "drama central" as far as Wikipedia is concerned, anybody who wasn't aware of these socks simply wasn't paying attention...

That said, it's probably best to get this out in the open, once and for all...

Oh, man, Delicious Carbuncle is out for blood. He's nominated "List of Male Performers in Gay Porn films" for deletion.

Even though this doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being deleted, he's absolutely right about the BLP issues. This list is a disaster waiting to happen....

In the world of abusive socks, these are pretty small beer. In fact, aside from the self-publicist COI thing, which has not been resolved in terms of his own user id, so the socks are pretty irrelevant, the only point in bringing this up is drama.

Hmm, there is some speculation as to whether Benji Featherstone, who reviews gay porn films on avn.com and who is a source for this list might somehow be connected with a Wikipedia editor. It would appear that perhaps some of these gay porn figures might be editing their own articles...

So, perhaps DC has a point here?

Shankbone seemed to be fixated on my "Cheeto colored beaver teeth" around the time he was publicizing the ED article about me and the origins of my daughter.

So, there is that connection to a beaver, perhaps.

Yup, the jab about "Cheeto colored beaver teeth" was part of the ED attack piece about you...

Man, this is slick. They had no idea that he was talking about Shankers until they told him to open the SPI case...DC has all the right moves here!

Actually, it was MZMcBride who nominated that particular list for deletion. I have no doubt that it will survive to inadvertently label yet another unsuspecting person as a gay porn star.

Dangling modifier once again.

You might find the CFD for "Category:Gay porn stars" interesting.
QUOTE(Otto4711 22:00 @ 25 March 2007 (UTC))

Rename to Category:Gay porn performers to address the POV concerns of the word "star." I remain unconvinced that anyone will have any difficulty understanding the purpose of the category […]. It's for people in gay porn, not people in porn who are gay. []…

However I seem to recall Paul Barresi interpreted it the opposite way, when somebody put Mr. Barresi's article into this category and/or added language to similar effect.

In any case he was offended deeply enough to contact Jimbo directly, see:

This is too rich : off of the AfD for "list of male performers in gay porn films"

QUOTE
Yes, Ash has pretty much called it. This is very much sky is falling BLP! BLP! Why wouldn't we re-hash that BLP thread, or the ANI one before that? This all started because you seem to want to remove/diminish an image of Michael Lucas (by David Shankbone) from the lede. You started the ANI thread when you let it slip you simply couldn't be bothered to address the BLP concerns because you were too busy edit-warring on the image. Then at BLP you were basically proven wrong and likely lazy - the big BLP concern? - that wikilinks went to the wrong person - {{sofixit}}. But no problem, every issue will be sorted out, those links to pornsites confirm that we aren't violating BLP - presumable your current concern and every other reasonable issue will be dealt with by more level headed editors who really have no vested interest in whether we have this content here or not. And the reason that the only comparable list of women in porn to you seems to be List of pornographic actresses by decade likely has only one explanation - this is the only list for men in gay porn films. And more categories simply don't equal replacing a list - see Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates. -- Banjeboi 17:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

* Benjiboi, please strike your remarks. Calling me "lazy" and once again implying that I am a homophobe are clear personal attacks. As is your repeated claim that I edit-warred over an image (which the article history will show that you were the one reverting multiple editors to restore). I'm here to comment on the issues raised in this AfD, not to bicker with you. Incidentally, you may wish to check the credit on that image - unless you know that Commons user "I Smell Beaver" is yet another of David Shankbone's alternate accounts, the image has nothing to do with him. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


Um....oops....

While we're at it, does anybody else wonder why three out of five photos on the gay pornography article are of Michael Lucas film shoots?

...hmm, I wonder who added those....and why?

And it's not as if there weren't....um....other possibilities for photos either...

I'm accepting bets on how long it will take a gay admin (or friend thereof) to ban DC.

And I state the following, which you may use as reference.

Time until DC is accused of "hate speech", or Godwin's law is invoked: 1 day

Time until AFD is closed out: 3 days

Time until DC is banned: 1 month or less

(And just for dramatic effect, let me state that Benjiboi is a toxic little shit, gay or straight.)

Sorry if I misphrased that. What I meant was "David has admitted his use of the Watching Whales account (I think). Has he admitted to the use of any of the other accounts listed?"

I seem to remember some story about "Fat Jenny" being his neighbor....as if a real live woman would actually choose that as an account name...

What I meant by my remarks above is that we've all figured out that those are Shankbone socks. Whether he's admitted it or not is beside the point....

(um, you do realize that you appear to have "outed" yourself by your last comment, don't you?)

If anyone is banned, it should be David Shankbone, followed by his faithful little puppy dog Benjiboi. Shankbone appears to have violated so many policies/rules in his time, and has basically stopped editing. Benjeboi is an irritating SPA in sex-related topics, particularly to do with homosexuality.

Oh, and there's no question regarding his sexuality. Just look at his userpage.

You mean his being a DJ for Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence fundraisers didn't clue you to his boi-ish nature? You really ARE a nerd, aren't you?

He is a bit like Daffyd Thomas: lives and breathes his sexuality. His occupation is being homosexual. And he will go out of his way to ensure that everyone is aware of it. He is a parasite.

I'm not sure why the offensive remarks about my being a nerd. Eric Barbour's post suggested he didn't know, so I was replying to him, not to everyone else.
