I'm just listing this here to better organize evidence and provide a location for others to add other sockpuppets of this user to. There have been many in the past few days, both IP users and registered accounts, making edits to many articles on astronauts and other NASA related topics. Sancho 05:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, please, matches what patterns? And now she's accused of using any ATT IP in the world or what? This is a witch hunt, because SallyForth123 was silly enough to work on articles owned by editors who appear willing and able to do anything to get rid of her. You should go look at how MrDarcy handled socks, and how diplomatically he dealt with people, as if they were human beings. KP Botany 00:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- See the better evidence above. The user is not accused of using any ATT IP in the world, only those above. This is not a witch hunt due to SallyForth123's "silliness", it is just an attempt to enforce a block. This enforcement is ignorant regarding the initial reason for the block.

- Right. So you send someone to jail falsely, then you're surprised when they escape, then you jail them for escaping, even though they were innocent (according to AreilGold) of the original crime. And this user is using ATT DSLs from Texas to California--anything ATT that has an edit that anyone in the world can fake as being hers is certified as hers. This is a witch hunt--played by editors who have made it clear she won't be allowed to edit. And these editors will keep creating "ATT" exclusive computer sock puppets (it is nice ATT has less than 100 customers, so one can certify with certainty that any ATT computer used by anyone imitating SallyForth is 100% certainly SallyForth) until you give up being a participant. You've been had. You're destroying a newbie who was a good editor who had the stupidity to think that Wikipedia MOS and policies and good English had a play in creating an encyclopedia--and you're destroying her as the tool of those who've taken every opportunity to actively take her down in every dispicable manner possible. I knew that no administrator would call ArielGold to task for her personal attacks on SallyForth--the writing was on the wall: this will result in a permanent ban no matter what has to be said and done. You might have just politely told her to leave, instead of playing this absurd game. KP Botany 19:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
