in any way -- the contributions appear to be solely in the interest of clarity, precision and intellectual balance. I think the administrators are using their sockpuppet policy in a heavy-handed, abusive way against this individual, and I think they should stop it and let the person continue to contribute to the site.

says that you can be blocked if you are found to be operating a sock-puppet account. It does not say unproven suspicions are a basis for blocks, but they are all that has been offered. The words, "An editor has expressed a concern that this account may be a sock puppet of

supports me here too, stating, "Keep in mind there can be multiple users who are driven to start participating in
Knowledge for the same reason, particularly in controversial areas such as articles about politics, religion, or articles for deletion.") However, Beback's guess was right, I am Skoojal,

There is clearly credible reason to believe that you are
Skoojal, and you aren't denying it or explaining the similar behavior in terms of topics / articles / edit style. If you are not Skoojal please provide us with an explanation for the apparent similarity. If you are, please just admit it and

As someone who just randomly noticed Devil
Goddess's submissions, and then looked at the history of his or her edits under the name Devil Goddess and Skoojal, I am dismayed to see what I consider harassment by Knowledge administrators. This person is not writing anything malicious or inappropriate

If you've solved the problem that made your original block necessary, that's great news. But please request the unblock on the talk page of your original account, not this one. By the way... I'm gay, and yet, inexplicably, I've never been mistaken for another gay user's sockpuppet. I wonder if

I'm sorry, but it seems to me that your rationale behind being unblocked is "I admit being a sock, but I disagree with the methods through which you deduced I'm a sock and I don't feel that they conform to
Knowledge policy, so I demand to be unblocked!" While I understand where you are going with
406:
I am not denying being
Skoojal because it is pointless and beneath my dignity. If for whatever reason you suspect me of something, I may not be able to convice you otherwise. There is nothing surprising about someone being interested in editing articles about gay subjects, nor anything wrong with

I apologize if I didn't understand that you were addressing the question to me: it wasn't entirely clear. In response to point 1) You can't know this. Anyone can read guidelines on how to edit before they start. In response to point 2) So what? These articles interest numerous people. This is a

I am directing the question to you, here on this account talk page. Since you haven't asked to keep this confidential, here are the reasons for my suspicions: 1) You not a new user. That's obvious by your familiarity with formatting and other details of editing
Knowledge. 2) You have edited 20

You do not know that I am a sock. You are assuming this. It is not reasonable to block someone absent proof that they are a sock (the policy states, "If a person is found to be using a sock puppet, the sock puppet accounts may be blocked indefinitely" - doesn't say you can block for unproven

Skoojal because they are gay? Gay people frequently edit articles about gay subjects. That's as credible a reason for the similar interests as my being the same person (and
138:
This account appears to be a returning user. Is that correct? If so, are any of hte user's previous accounts still blocked? If so, that would mean this account is improperly evading a block. Please explain. You may email me if you prefer to keep this confidential.

358:
I don't see you either denying being the same user as
Skoojal, nor offering any explanation for your behavior being so similar to his. This account meets the "duck test": "if it quacks like a duck...."
762:
The only reasons Will Beback gave for my being
Skoojal are that I know how to edit properly, and I am interested in many of the same subjects as Skoojal. The first proves nothing by itself, and

I admit that. My block was nevertheless not in accord with policy, which does not indicate that you can block based on suspicion alone. I wait with interest to see how my honesty will help me.
