My first instinct about User:Virgin United was that it was a troll looking to incite a reaction or perform a breaching experiment. Now that CheckUser has verified it to be another Wikipedian (presumably one of good standing?), the troll moniker might not apply, but certainly the breaching experiment would.

Let the OFFICE spin begin.
I'm not in the office, but here's my "spin".
So the account has been checked via checkuser and has been confirmed to be another Wikipedian.
I don't fully understand why he would have done this, so I'm not just going to step out and say it.
This subject has caused a huge amount of controversy and people are using it as an excuse to antagonize endlessly on the wiki.
I think it would be beneficial to the community if the guilty party would admit it here. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
