It's not my fault that the person can't figure out that when you come on IRC
THREE TIMES in TWO WEEKS with the SAME IP, you're a sockpuppet. The
original block was an IP block for violating NPA in edit summaries. The
second block was on NoLongerScieno for being an obvious sockpuppet of the IP
addresses to violate 3RR. The third block was on ScienoSitter, an obvious
sock, when he came on IRC and I matched the IP address to NoLongerScieno.
The fourth block was a repeat of the third one with Xvidme. Anything else?
