It's very hard for someone like Enviroknot to gain any sympathy when they are obviously, blatantly lying. The odds that two unrelated people would get the same IP address and decide to edit the same Wikipedia articles one after the other are vanishingly slim. If Enviroknot is not the same person as KaintheScion/ElKabong - something I personally doubt - the two of them are very closely related. Yet Enviroknot denies even that.
Someone who dives into Wikipedia and instantly goes to a contentious article is either a sockpuppet or someone who is responding to a call to arms by someone else. Someone who instantly knows all the rules and how to skirt them is not some innocent.

Morven makes some pretty good points. Enviroknot is apparently up to no good. All the same, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be given the rights to due process of law before banning him.
