"Possible". What did the checkuser actually say, I wonder.
As far as I know Checkuser (and I've examined the code), it's a yes or no thing. Putting forth a claim of "possible" is just a hedge being used to continue to beat up on this user while they are blocked and their talk page locked.
I don't buy it. This whole thing doesn't pass the smell test, your conduct included.

For those keeping up on this, the checkuser results have come in (see

The results of the checkuser have come in with the conclusion being /possible/. Nevertheless, let me make a case for why the IP address in question that led to the extended block is most likely RunedChozo <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RunedChozo&action=edit
(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo>). First, note the previous request for checkuser that came back confirmed. The IP address from that confirmed checkuser request comes from Houston, Texas (see WHOIS lookup <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=129.7.35.126>). Both IP addresses part of the more recent checkuser (the one the ended as only /possible/) come from Houston as well (see WHOIS lookup one <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=70.114.237.14> and two <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=70.114.236.109>). As stated already, the rhetoric from RunedChozo <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RunedChozo&action=edit
(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo>) and 70.114.237.14 <
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:70.114.237.14&action=edit... (talk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:70.114.237.14 • contribs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.114.237.14) are quite similar (note the reference to the talk page being protected, as well as the /tool/ accusations). One editor on the English Wikipedia mailing list noted that 70.114.237.14 < http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:70.114.237.14&action=edit... (talk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:70.114.237.14 • contribs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.114.237.14)'s edit times don't match up with those of RunedChozo <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RunedChozo&action=edit
(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo>). Perhaps that is correct, but it does not seem unreasonable, in my opinion, for someone to be editing around 11:30pm and 12:30am, especially if a user is angry and passionately wants to say something. So, it is possible that 70.114.237.14 <

(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo>) are just both especially anti-Muslim editors who happen to both live near Houston, edit similar articles, and use similar types of statements. However, I am convinced, without reservation, that the users are one and the same. -- *tariqabjotu <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tariqabjotu>* 03:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
