Me and Thargor Orlando have had a long dispute over public opinion polls of single-payer (). Recently after being inactive for a long time, Thargor started up the dispute again and made two major reverts (). After warning Thargor about the revert (), North8000 made the same one () thus "tipping" the dispute.

This should be seen as rather suspicious, one user (North) is very active whereas Thargor is usually inactive except for when it comes to that particular issue; North8000 is a member of Wikiproject Conservatism () and Thargor edits conservative articles.

Finally KiloVoltaire only has two edits, one of them is on the article we were disputing () and the only person to respond was Thargor (). My assumption is if Thargor isn't an alt for North, then at least Kilo is an alt of Thargor. ] (]) 21:33, 14 October 2012 (UTC) ] (]) 21:33, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

This is beyond ridiculous, it is a baseless and insulting personal attack. Per the above, the complaint is beyond baseless, it is stupid......making the claim with the only basis being that I did one edit which agreed with the other editor. I was tempted to invite the investigation as step one of taking them to wp:ani for this personal attack, but I decided not to. Further, I was never even notified of this until Thargor Orlando did so. <font color ="#0000cc">''North8000''</font> (]) 12:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

*I don't believe there is evidence to support North8000 and Thargor being the same user. North8000 is a prolific editor with the same political biases as Thargor, but without the SPA-like editing record. There's plenty of tag-team edit warring and meat puppetry evidence, but not socking activity. I am not familiar with the other username. -- ] (]) 14:17, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

::Actually, I'm not conservative, I'm libertarian, which is exactly the opposite on social issues. But someone from the conservatism project asked me to join, and I said yes, telling them the same thing. <font color ="#0000cc">''North8000''</font> (]) 18:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
:::My bad in that case, it's still odd that Kilo only has two edits and one of which was on that particular issue. ] (]) 02:35, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

*{{clerknote}} I've reviewed Thargor's and North's contributions, and there isn't anything like enough evidence to tie the two together. Their styles are relatively different. KiloVoltaire has absolutely nothing to indicate that he is related to North8000. ] (]) 19:21, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
