"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.

I will also copy the comment I made to [[WP:ANI]]:
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

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

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

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
