Evidence submitted by Georgewilliamherbert
Chase me... posted a sockpuppetry claim to ANI that Princess Mary of Sweden was a sock of Baseball Bugs and Transhumanist - it appears more likely that this is a banned user trolling with a sleeper account or two... CU requested to ID parent account and sock chain if possible. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 03:44, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Note that Chase me... is misspelling Bugs as Buggs. I have seen that recently in another party that ventured into ANI and turned out to be problematic. Ring any bells? --Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Looking in the incident archives, I find something last month from Wikidemon, in incident archive 637. Very unlikely he would be attacking me. The only other one I see is from early 2009, from BigDunc, in incident archive 518. I don't recall that we've ever had any run-ins. I also think I've been called "Buggs" more than just 2 times, but I don't recall when or where. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 15:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims. Baseball Buggs is the accused party but he is trying to deflect attention from himself. I only reported what I saw. If people wanted to say "oh, that's just an accusation and we'll leave it alone" after reading Princess Mary of Sweden's page, I could understand that.
However, Baseball Buggs is so violently opposed to something and is writing so much that he islikely to have some guilt on his hands. Funny, the Transhumanist is saying nothing.
So my conclusion is that the Princess Mary, Buggs, Transhumanist is a correct sock conclusion or that Buggs is somehow guilty but the Transhumanist is not.
In any case, attacking me is really persecution and Misplaced Pages and all guilty users should apologize to me. Chase me dinosaurs, I'm an insect (talk) 03:14, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Comments by other users
The two most likely culprits seem to be Grundle (talk · contribs) and ChildofMidnight (talk · contribs). Access Denied 04:50, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Someone brought up at WP:ANI that this account showed some hallmarks of ChildofMidnight (talk · contribs). I'd have to say I concur with that; this may be something for checkusers to look into as well. Chase me dinosaurs... just left a rant of a tone that reminded me of CoM. --Jayron32 04:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- If you're talking about this, it doesn't quite sound like CoM, and CoM is not known for impostoring (as far as we know). As I noted at ANI, the editor in question sounds more like a sleeper account of the same user (never identified) who in summer 2009 tried to get the already-indef'd user Axmann8 permanently banned via impostoring. I suspect he (or an impostor of that impostor) is trying to do the same thing here, i.e. to get CoM and/or Grundle permanently banned. (Why, only he knows - maybe just to make wikipedia look bad.) It's too long ago to checkuser the stuff from summer 2009 (which, oddly enough, is about the time that Chase me dinosaurs went on hiatus), but maybe the checkuser could figure out where that guy is emanating from (I wouldn't count on it being Chicago as he claims) and do a sweep for other sleeper accounts. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 10:36, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Also, although I had a run-in with CoM that resulted in an interaction ban (loosened recently to allow for administrative comments), I'm not aware that he had any special grudge against me in particular, nor do I recall having had any serious run-ins with Grundle. I've been impostored several times by (apparently) different users, but not for some time now. The Chase me dinosaurs editor has a specific grievance against Chase me ladies, revealed by one of his own comments to him. Chase me ladies would have to comment himself, but I can't think of any specific grievance CoM would have had against him in particular. In short, we're being jerked around by a trolling user, as we were in summer of 2009. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 10:42, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- I have to agree with Bugs on this one. Speculation aside, the facts on this matter are surprisingly accurate. IESNEC (talk) 15:47, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- To the checkuser: Feel free to include the above brand-new account IESNEC (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) on the list to be checked. He's now impostoring CENSEI (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), a "mentor" of Axmann8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and who was likewise indef'd. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 16:15, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

- "Sssssh don't tell anyone I'm a sock ps here are my socks" is transparently laughable. Chase me's insistence that this is true is obvious trolling. → ROUX ₪ 03:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Where is that accusation, exactly? Or has it been zapped?←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 11:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- An editor on ANI postulates that Pickbothmanlol (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) could be the culprit here. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 11:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

- I agree, "SPI Closeau" seems rather suspicious...how many new users instantly know about SPI without having had some former involvement in it. Ks0stm 17:01, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- SPI probably has an evil twin named SPA. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
