The lack of trust in certain checkusers is the main problem here. When
Kelly Martin was given checkuser, I guessed that she would eventually
use it on me, because she doesn't like me, and she appeared not to
care about the rules. And sure enough, she did. When Alison and Lar
were given it and started posting regularly to Wikipedia Review, I
guessed that one or both would checkuser me at some point, and sure
enough, one of them did.
It would be good if ArbCom or the Ombudsman commission would see to it
that admins do not use checkuser for no reason against people they
don't like. It would be good if you would ensure that people who are
regular posters to Wikipedia Review refrain from using the tool
against editors who are attacked, cyberstalked, and defamed there.

You're not searching very carefully in that case. They were right in
the middle of a frenzy of trying to find out who I was when Kelly
performed the check. You may have to go into archive.org to find it. I
remember thinking at the time, "I bet Kelly Martin checkusers me," but
I didn't ask until months later, because part of me didn't want to
know. (Because then what? Make a complaint -- have it smoothed over by
Jimbo, referred to an Ombudsman who ignores it, more attacks on me on
IRC by Kelly Martin and her friends? -- which was precisely what
happened.)
Similarly, when I read Wikipedia Review claiming to have a checkuser
in their pocket, my first thought was, "That person will out himself
by checkusering me." (It was like finding out which employee has
raided the company accounts by waiting to see which of them suddenly
buys a new car and a second home in the country.)
Boy, she's really desperate, isn't she?
