a big birdie tells me he's gotten caught again on off-WP sites sockpuppeting with new names, lol. Looks like this "bassett" guy on WP is up to the samiharris-mantanmoreland legacy.

At this point, anyone without a non-SPA history of some length on WP should be Checkusered if they edit the Patrick Byrne-Overstock-Naked Shorting trifecta of "let's fuck Byrne!" that's been going on, on-WP for years.


And who's the last person who should be doing a checkuser on Gary Weiss's socks or potential socks? (um, after Slimmy that is)?

Thatcher.

LOL. Thatcher, you've already been proven a wikifraud on the Gary Saga. Turn over the bullshit story to someone else. No one believes you any more on this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req.../Mantanmoreland

Nevard is not Weiss, that's not news. Bassett's activity smells of Team Gary.

Tor proxies by any chance? Maybe Gary's gotten smart enough to get one of his associates to take up his man-love torch for Byrne.

WP user page - talk
check - contribs



The "problem" with a ban is that anyone who looks even a smidge like MM is going to be hammered without restraint/remorse, followed to the ends of the earth, spark edit war after edit war (remember, BAN policy on WP states that they can be reverted WITHOUT recourse to 3RR), and generally drama.

So.. basically the same as things things were, just place "Socks of Mantanmoreland" in the neat lil placeholder in front of "Socks of Wordbomb".

(raises an eyebrow as he contemplates that)

your suggestion is looking better and better LessHorrid vanU....
