 == Sockpuppeteer returns with apologies after several years == 

  created their account yesterday, and began their contributions with two apologies   for their past actions as . 

 Dodgechris is still indefinitely blocked without talk page access, for extensive sockpuppeting. Their talk page has comments from yourself that there will be ""no second chance this time"". However, three years is quite a long time (although I haven't checked if any of the sockpuppets are more recent than that), and it's very easy for someone's behaviour to change substantially in that time, especially at the age implied by some of the sockpuppet usernames. 

 Perhaps you could offer some thoughts on a way forward. They've said on my talk page that they will refrain from editing with the new account, in the meantime.    

 :I've just declined a request at RPP from Wuzzupbob to unprotect the Dodgechris talk page. I suggested they come here, or failing that, it's a matter for ANI I suspect.   

 ::OK. We might be giving contradictory messages here - I've advised them not to continue engaging in on-wiki requests and discussion with the Wuzzupbob account, because it can be seen as evasion of the original block. I've recommended requesting an unblock by email.    

 Hi Tiptoety. I have unprotected the  page to allow the user to make a proper unblock request. If you object to this and would like it handled some other way, feel free to act accordingly, I will defer to your judgment. Thanks,    

 :The title of this thread seems perfect for a headline. Random, I know, but still...    

 == So you're back, then? == 

 I was unaware that you had returned from your wikibreak, so I did not let you know that I mentioned you in this ANI report. My apologies. Perhaps you can address my earlier questions on that IP now?    
 :I'm not sure what more you want Delicious. You have had your question answered by a multitude of users, I'm not sure what more I can add. Has the IP in question caused disruption since?    
 ::Sorry, I hadn't noticed that you had returned again. Perhaps you could leave a message on my talk page when you reply to this? Although several people offered comment, my questions for you remain the same. To start with, you checkusered overtly racist editor  but did not block their IP, despite their sockpuppetry. Why did you not block the IP?   
 :::Yeah, I'll leave a note on your talk page from now on. As for Giornorosso, I'll be honest I do not recall the specifics but as I asked before, has he returned under the IP or any other account for that matter to continue his socking? If so, I would be happy to run another check and block the underlying IP. If not then I really see no reason to change anything at this point, if the blocks we have in place are working.    
 ::::The current situation with Giornorosso is irrelevant. I'm sure you understand by now that this is about your actions. This is, I believe, the third time I have tried to get you to answer some simple questions. In both previous attempts, you have gone on extended wikibreaks rather than answering. Since I have been unable to get satisfactory (or any) answers form you, I will follow it up elsewhere. You may wish to review earlier discussions and refresh your memory. [[User:Delicious carb
