Evidence

• All of the IP sockpuppets of VacuousPoet logged on through Frontier Communications, Rochester, NY. Please see Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/VacuousPoet (2nd) for those sockpuppets.
• With this edit, ImprobabilityDrive changed the signature of a uncivil post from 65.73.81.131 to his own, and claimed ownership of the edit, as you can see here.
• As with all of Kdbuffalo's and VacuousPoet's sockpuppet edits, they focus on Creationist/Evolution articles. Please note that there is an RFC filed against ImprobabilityDrive, see Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/ImprobabilityDrive.
• VacuousPoet is banned for sockpuppetry. here.
• User:Gnixon posted in several of the same articles as ImprobabilityDrive. In fact, Gnixon halted editing in those articles at about the time ImprobabilityDrive began editing , around April 17-19, 2007.
• Checkuser has been filed, but will be revised.

Comments

• Comments of Infinite Improbability Drive: User ImprobabilityDrive has resigned. Please see User_talk:ImprobabilityDrive for details, and contact User:Rockpocket regarding my request that my request to leave gracefully. Infinite Improbability Drive 03:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

With regards to Frontier communications. It is a small phone provider in Upstate NY and a few other areas. The DSL IP address points to Rochester, NY. Frontier Communications is just the ISP. Since you are paraphrasing my comment about Wells Fargo, it is a massive banking corporation in a number of states. It does not allow the Whois to point to particular location. Frontier does. Sorry.

Sorry ID, but I know how Frontier works, and your obfuscation has no meaning to me. I don't care where you live, but it's pretty clear you live in Rochester, NY probably in the same house, with the same name, and same face as one VacuousPoet, etc. And the rest of your comments are just fodder for other areas where the community is looking into your habits. If you are right, the checkuser will be denied. If you are wrong, then anything you say is not going to help. Orangemarlin 01:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

A comparison of ImprobabilityDrive logs against logs will show that it is not possible for me to be a sockpuppet of Gnixon, as you were told previously. Again, this is just another false accusation by Orangemarlin who has a history of making false sock puppet accusations, as do others who pre-empt him.

• Comments of Orangemarlin: Previous sockpuppetry charges against you are irrelevant. You made an error in editing, which showed your IP address, which is the same one as VacuousPoet. If we had known, we would have submitted the right checkuser. Our error, which is now corrected. Orangemarlin 19:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comments of •Jim62sch• : There is no attempt to intimidate anyone here, and as I explained to you previously it is any user's right to request a sock check if he feels it is warranted. Additionally, you are clearly not a new user -- that much is made painfully clear by the sophisticated use of tags, some rather arcane, from the moment you started editing. •Jim62sch• 20:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
