The Latest in the Dane Rauschenberg saga

Just as I was familiarizing myself with the block process for disruptive usernames, I saw that you had already nominated the latest vandal. Thanks for grabbing this one and taking care of it so quickly. Alansohn (talk) 16:39, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

No problem. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:40, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Paula Poundstone

What Violet Fae perceives as a BLP violation was taken to the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Paula Poundstone. You must know about this by now. Are you going to comment there? Clear up the accusation made by Violet Fae on the Paula Poundstone talk page that we are one in the same? 50.56.119.215 (talk) 08:36, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about partially tarnishing your good name

As you know, I tried to tell them you weren't me. One person was even going to block you, but I told them how wrong they'd be.[1] Violet Fae is a rude know-it-all, and I commented in the discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance you started about her.[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.142.160.103 (talk) 15:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, though there's nothing for you to apologize for. On the BLPNB thread, Will Beback's comments make the most sense. There was absolutely nothing wrong with your argument- I don't know the policy on proxies so I'm not going to comment on the fact that the IPs were blocked - but suppressing your comments here [3] is troubling.

Obviously from my perspective, the fact that experienced editors and admins jumped to conclusions is very bothersome - I really think that a few minute look at my editing history with some common sense shows that it is was extremely unlikely that I would sockpuppet on the matter. Besides the two edits reverting the "BLP violation", I have no real history on the Poundstone topic, and in four+ years and 40,000+ edits, I have avoided any significant conflict. If I was the type of editor to start an argument with multiple IPs, one would think I would've been blocked a long time ago. In addition, your writing style is pretty different than mine. My comments on the Poundstone talk page [4] illustrate this.

Thank you for the note and being proactive in denying the sockpuppet allegations. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:07, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
