On March 6 E.M.Gregory was indefinitely topic banned from pages and content related to illegal immigration, immigration policy, and the relationship between crime and immigration. The User A.Jacobin, having initially been registered in January 2014 and used until April 2014 returned after a 5 year hiatus one week later on March 13. EM Gregory's account was registered in September 2014 during that haitus, and the two had not overlapped until AJ returned to editing after EM's topic ban, Following three minor edits (including creating a user page), the users next 7 edits^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} all but two of which E.M.Gregory had previously voted in and all those votes being in support of E.M.Gregory's position. A.Jacobin does not have a ton of edits to make these comparisons as blatantly obvious as they might otherwise be, but each editor's timecard shows similar editing times for the periods that A.Jacobin has edited (EM vs AJ). Since then, A.Jacobin has focused on the same issues as E.M. had prior to his topic ban, namely immigration and crime and violence and discrimination against Jews. Some additional curiosities:

• As A.Jacobin's only comment at an AFD he answers a reply to E.M.Gregory.
• Both users, when writing about people suspected of some crime, use the same halting impersonal language. See AJ: Alleged attacker had written a manifesto, EM: Suspect attacked people at 7 separate locations
• Restores a source E.M.Gregory added (then removed as a topic ban violation) here. AJ says that this was suggested at the AFD, the source appears nowhere there.
• Both users often sign their posts immediately following their last period with no space. See for example AJ or EM nableezy - 16:58, 8 August 2019 (UTC) 16:58, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
• I suspect that what you are seeing is the result of talking, a few months back, with an old friend, and drinking, and him telling me that he had edited for a while, and me telling him about being blocked for editing on illegal immigration. I can't be certain - we only see each other at conferences. But we do agree on key political issues.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:38, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
