User:Lir<BR></I>**Without having to think about it too much, I can point to the
well-proven sockpuppet "Editing Saddam Hussein," which you attempted to
use to vote in RfA, and which User:Plato has admitted was you.<BR><BR>*Surely,
Plato's say-so is not sufficent grounds to ban me; I'm rather confused as to how
he can "admit" to my alleged crimes. Regardless, having reviewed the history of
User:Editing Saddam Hussein -- I am at a loss as to how that account envokes the
negative connotations indicated in the latter half of "A <STRONG>sock
puppet</STRONG> is an additional username used by a Wikipedian who posts under
more than one name. While they may serve legitimate purposes, sock puppets may
be sometimes also used to deceive, for example by voting more than once in a
poll or otherwise creating an illusion of broader support for an idea."</DIV>
<DIV>*Apparently you feel that the account was used to sockpuppet against your
admin request -- do you have any proof of my voting more than once in
RfA? I doubt you will find any evidence to support
your allegation; since, I am not User:Editing Saddam Hussein nor
is that my sockpuppet. </DIV>
