A complication is that he travels a lot (he denies it, and then lists the places he visits a few paragraphs later! He is that scale of nutter). He also somehow managed to use a Finnish IP at one stage. People looking at the edits were convinced that either it was him or he had an identical (equally paranoid) twin brother! He seems to be quite skilled at finding some way to get on. He also has used IPs and user accounts, jumping between the two. When all his attempts to put in attacks using IPs were reverted (great work, BTW, everyone) he created a new user account and sneaked in a change under an edit summary marked 'fixing link'.
Skyring also posts personal abuse of Wikipedians on his own site. Here are three examples:
(1)
Mackensen's user page was then vandalised. The use of the term "AULDBITCH" is clearly a reference to the letter. I am sure that David can check on the source of this vandalism and I am equally sure that he will find nothing to link it to me. In fact, judging by this extremely interesting series of edits I suggest that it will turn out to be Duffy.
(2)
Jim Duffy (sic), whose wikiname is jtdirl, I've mentioned before, and here is the result of his discovery that somebody else had popped their head up to say the same things I was saying. He was roundly condemned for his attitude and his illegal block of an innocent editor, but failed to see anything improper in his conduct. I particularly liked his comment that I travelled extensively and could present myself at sites around the world pretending to be somebody else. Good heavens! If only I had the time when travelling. It's all I can do to keep up with LiveJournal and BookCrossing.
(3)
People are saying all sorts of nasty things about me, really sinking the boot into me. Their complaint? That I'm attacking them! I'm not sure that they can see the lack of moral depth to their position. Another person, a young lady who may or may not have dyslexia, thinks that when I cast an eye over her edits and correct her spelling, I'm stalking and harrassing her. She just quoted an extract from this very LiveJournal blog as evidence against me. Huh? Who's doing the stalking?
So as you call see, Skyring (real name Pete - his name and address, BTW, is on record) is a thoroughly nice chap. lol
