My defence

This sockpuppet case is a deadset joke, i am not a sockpuppet there is no evidence to say that i am, i am a friend with another user as i am sure many of you are, the user KylieK, sent me a private email and asked me to help her as she was blocked and could not defend herself, i also made enquiries into the sports trainer article in an attempt to get more info about the KylieK situation, and i am studying medicine at university and would like to add a sports trainer article as a sports trainer treats injured athletes, it's simply an interest of mine and you can't block me for having a similar interest as a blocked user. Unlike the sockpuppets my methods are completely different, all the others started a sports trainer article i have not done that, merley requested some infotmation about it. (If i have put this response in the wrong section i am sorry, i asked gimboid13 to help me put it in the correct place however he refused to help me) (Spencer 02 06:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC))

Gimboid13 Has Lied in giving evidence

I would also like to add that i did not request for User:KylieK to be unblocked, i simply asked how the decision to block this user was made and what evidence was collected. Gimboid13 has lied by saying i requested that she be unblocked. (Spencer 02 22:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC))

Additional comment

• User:Spencer 02's behavior, especially the request to recreate Sports trainer, makes this likely. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Further Defence

I have a similar interest as another wikipedian, why is that so hard to believe? friends have similar interests KylieK is a friend of mine. And besides anything else there was nothing wrong with the sports trainer article it met all of wikipedias standards, the article was fine and i can't see any reason for it not to be included, can you actually give me a reason why it shouldn't be re-created? And just because someone tries to re-create it you assume that they have to be sockpuppet, that is unfair to honest wikipedians such as myself. (Spencer 02 06:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC))

An idea

I know of a way to prove that me and user:kyliek are not the same person, i can send you a copy of the email she sent to me. Give me an email address and i will forward it to you. that should clear things up. (Spencer 02 06:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC))

• User:Bradles 01 created a further, self-confessed, sock User:David 02 on 25 March for the purpose of posting an abusive message [6]. Gimboid13 05:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Conclusions

Spencer 02 was the only tough one here, but after an extensive look through the contribs between Bradles 01, the other known socks, and he, it's Bradles. The only other sock left unblocked was David 02, who's a sock by his own admission, so going to close this one up. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 12:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
