Suspected sockpuppets


The Imboredsenseless (talk · contribs) account was apparently created for the sole purpose of posting on my talk page about an editor I conflicted with a few weeks back. This looked super-suspicious, so I checked to see if anyone else had tried to connect User:Rjensen to a Conservapedia editor before. (I googled site:en.wikipedia.org "Rjensen" "Conservapedia"; for whatever reason I can't copy-paste Google search results on my iPad.) This came up first. The username of the new account is also a pretty clear indicator of sockpuppetry, and the main account, 36hourblock (talk · contribs), very recently emerged from a two-year absence, which gels with the new account's stating that they "use Misplaced Pages every now and then". Even if this wasn't 36hourblock, it is obviously someone, and if it is 36hourblock it seems likely that they've done this before, so requesting CU.

By the way: I'm not advocating an indefinite block of the sockmaster, assuming this kind of sockpuppetry on their part is rare. Looking at past interactions between Rjensen and 36hourblock shows a lot of incivility on both sides, and the clean/almost-clean block logs on both sides imply the admin corps has not stepped in to deal with the problem (apparently no such intervention has ever been requested). This means that removing one side from the project for briefly stepping over the line (again, assuming CU doesn't find a massive sock farm!) would serve to vindicate the poor behaviour of the other side. As I pointed out on my talk page, the question of whether either of these accounts has attempted to "out" Rjensen by connecting them to Conservapedia is iffy at best, since Rjensen himself made that connection first (in the second hit on my above-cited search).
