Am I the only one who suspects that this Kenneth is Lir? First, he made his debut after Lir's latest persona, Pizza Puzzle, left the scene. Second, Kenneth seems to know his way around the site too well for a new user. Third and moreover, his crusade seems to coincide with Lir's over-arching battle against the "totalitarian cabal" that runs this website. Kenneth's edit description "no more vigilante dictatorship of a free website" (see his user contributions) stuck out right away as a possible clue linking this vandal, more overtly hostile and angry than one we have ever dealt with before (most vandals, such as Michael, are more or less good-natured immature pranksters), to a user with a professed desire to overthrow the Wiki "cabal." I think that perhaps the fall of the latest Lir identity pushed Adam off the edge. [[User:172|172]]

For what it's worth, Adam has assured me that he is not Pizza Puzzle, and that he has moved on to other interests. He and I have had a reasonably pleasant ongoing conversation about politics in which he joked that maybe Pizza Puzzle is Ann Coulter and I responded that maybe Pizza Puzzle is Michael Moore -- or that they are sharing the account.
(If you know who Ann Coulter and Michael Moore are, that's a hysterical thought.)
It is possible, of course, that he's violated by trust by lying to me point blank. Certainly, considerable evidence suggests at least that Pizza Puzzle is located in the same geographical area as Adam, and the coinciding of interests is therefore remarkable.

This sounds familiar. Hasn't Adam lied previously about this type of thing? LDan
