[WikiEN-l] someone after non-active admin accounts

[Jay Litwyn]

What was I thinking? You can contact abuse at googlemail.com about your problem 
without bothering a checkuser. You could also be sly and solicit a response 
from him via direct e-mail, by replying to him with direct e-mail. IOW, lie 
about your password. That might let you reach his ISP about hacking 
potential. In the event that the problem does not go away at source, then 
putting a suspected sockpuppet template on his front page will summon a 
checkuser to find another reason to block him, and I do not think you need 
another reason. I think Mister Lau on wikipedia review will second you if 
you need that.
