1. Results of ip check Fred Bauder 13:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
2. Since dynamic ip addresses are involved it is likely that some of the "suspects" are not BigDaddy777. Analysis of editing patterns is necessary to confirm identity. Fred Bauder 21:49, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment by others:

1. I have used the IP Address 64.154.26.251 to post from. I also post from a dynamic IP Address, which includes a large range under the 216.119.etc. series, including 216.119.139.77. I am not Big Daddy. I have expressed my concerns about sockpuppetry in an incident unknown to me claimed by David Gerard to have used on the first account at . I have never heard of and am not users Paganviking, Barneygumble or LEONARD WATSON. I have never sockpuppeted, i.e. used one account to pretend to address to another I had used. As I have said I have no control and am not the user at the 67.124.etc. series, and is now user:67124etc. I am willing to reveal my general location on a need-to-know basis. I am willing to participate in a large public online chat such as Yahoo Chat with an arbitrator to confirm I am neither Big Daddy nor 67.154.26.251. I am also willing to rehearse some of the contributions I have made over the past two years. Signed 216.119.139.73 09:31, 5 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. To be perfectly clear, by Big Daddy I mean User:BigDaddy777. I have also never seen an edit history item of the 216.119.etc. series that I didn't write. I have never communicated with Big Daddy, except through Misplaced Pages pages. Signed 216.119.139.73 09:49, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
2. I cannot believe that Barneygumble (talk · contribs) is a sockpuppet of BigDaddy777. They are nothing alike. They have never even edited the same articles. Gumble has been around much longer, first editing on 2005-06-13, while BigDaddy first edited on 2005-09-01. BigDaddy is much more prolific and expresses control-freak behavior on his talk page; Gumble does not seem to have ever done anything like this. BigDaddy can't seem to do anything but make personal attacks; while Gumble might have engaged in this, he seems focused on editing articles. Meanwhile, LEONARD WATSON (talk · contribs) and Paganviking (talk · contribs) have never actually made any edits, so I fail to see how they can be sockpuppets! 64.154.26.251 (talk · contribs) makes real edits that don't sound like anything BigDaddy would ever do such as , has been around peacefully editing articles such as Ann Coulter much longer than BigDaddy , and uses words like "trifecta": . BigDaddy does not use edit summaries the way this guy does and probably never heard the word "trifecta." 67.124.200.240 (talk · contribs) states that he is 67124etc (talk · contribs) and I see no reason not to believe him. While it does appear to me that BigDaddy may have very recently (in the past few hours) started sockpuppetting, this accusation is completely meritless. Jdavidb 14:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
3. I am the anon 67.124.200.240 (talk · contribs). Accusations that I am a sockpuppet of user:BigDaddy777 and/or 64.154.26.251 (talk · contribs) are completely false. I should also point out that of the multiple parties involved in the heated Ann Coulter page, only User:Eleemosynary is making the specific claim that I am BigDaddy, and only after participating on the page for barely two days. User:CBDunkerson who has been involved in this ongoing disagreement with me expresses his skepticism here: . Please compare my contributions for yourself, especially the content of my ample participation in discussion. As for innuendo based on edit timing, you try getting edits done when BigDaddy is going at it. Not to add to criticism of him but he gets very involved. Further I'm pretty sure none of my reverts returned to a version of his anyway, I only mainly reverted removal of my own additions or removed disputed additions from others. Except the last few reverts where I defended the other anon from reverts based on accusations of being a sockpuppet, which I continue to consider ridiculous. I will post with the anon IP in a second (edit: verified with this), and by the way am willing to participate in any and every means of verification to debunk these accusations. 67124etc 01:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
4. I would like to put forth evidence that 64.154.26.251 (talk · contribs) aka 216.119.139.73 and 67.124.200.240 (talk · contribs) aka 67124etc are indeed sockpuppets of BD777. As for the other possible user names alleged, I can't really make a determination. I take issue with Jdavidb's assertions that the sockpuppet claims are "meritless." For instance, just because the anonymous IPs' tone and language differ (at times) from BD777's abusive harangues, that is not in itself exonerating evidence. Indeed, one of the more sophisticated uses of sockpuppets is to create allies that sound completely different from the primary user, in order to build a false consensus, and to avoid 3RR violations by switching identities. BD777 himself takes heated issue with Jdavidb's "trifecta" comment .Eleemosynary 01:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
