Yawn.
Those who are in power, will stick together. It is necessary for the perpetuation of their power.
Power also corrupts.
I have adequately explained what is going on, and I have referenced all the Wikipedia policy that Gerard and his cohorts are violating.
Whether those in power actually care about Wikipedia policy or not... well, you have just made it clear that YOU do not, and Gerard's burst of profanity proved that he doesn't either.

You run into a problem here - David is one of the users who has the capability to actually check whether users are sockpuppets. So when he says you're all on the same IP, it is not speculation. It is not a hypothesis based on similar editing patterns. It's an issue of "He looked it up." So what you're doing has nothing to do with whether it's likely that you're a sockpuppet - the technical evidence has been checked.
Adding to the problem is the fact that the other people who can check this are also on this list, have no doubt read this by now, and are thus also aware of the situation, and thus in on the conspiracy.
So we have two hypotheses. 1) You are a sockpuppet, and are lying about it. 2) You are not a sockpuppet, and there is a conspiracy including DavidGerard, Tim Starling, and others to claim that you are while citing non-existent technical evidence.
Evidence for 1: David's citation of technical evidence, the fact that you claim Wikipedia policy has been violated whenever something happens that you don't like, your allegations of a vast conspiracy specifically to run you off (The latter two being behavior that, to a tee, resembles about a dozen other trolls)
Evidence for 2: You say so.
Now. Given that, what remotely persuasive or plausible reason can you offer for accepting hypothesis 2?

Given what I have seen of your behavior toward other users, coupled with David Gerard's outburst, I get the feeling that nothing I say or do will convince you to stop this.
It is a shame upon Wikipedia that people like you and David Gerard have been given power.

Slimvirgin has blocked me claiming that I am 129.7.35.1.
She is also lying and claiming that I am ElKabong; this appears to be connected to her personal crusade along with Mel Etitis, Yuber, etc.

I request this be removed immediately, I have not violated 3RR and am

Enviroknot and 129.7.35.1 were blocked for 24 hours after being reported on WP:AN/3RR by User:FeloniousMonk for violating 3RR at [[Neofascism and religion]].
Based on the editing pattern, writing style, e-mails, and IP-address comparisons of KaintheScion, ElKabong, and Enviroknot, they are operated by the same person. IP address 129.7.35.1 lies within an IP address range (resolving to the University of Houston) previously used by that person, and Enviroknot very conveniently turned up to take over the anon IP's reverts, reverting to the same version.
