Another example is  who was  
 first banned by a robot for having something wrong with his username but 
 no one could figure out what exactly was wrong so the ban was lifted. 
 Bit of a bad start, could happen to anyone. 

 Then he edited a bunch of random stuff, mostly car related. 

 Then he got into an argument with  over  
 this revert (and page protection that later followed). Probably would have been smarter to let the matter drop but  and  got involved. Probably the single edit that best describes the situation is here where  points out that ultimately who you are is what matters and some editors just get more weight than others. I can't help feeling that this defeats most of the purpose of Wikipedia and brings us right back to the academic ivory towers that have served us in the past  new media converts itself into old media. 

 The ultimate upshot was that  figured it was all too hard and gave up the struggle. He/She tried to leave a "last word" comment to explain that his/her reason for leaving was that admins do not follow procedure.  
 it seems that such comments are not allowed and then  
 the sockpuppet flag came along as  decided that this person who had been driven away by a dispute must really be someone else. 

 Now, having placed the flag,  uses this as ammunition against  by 
 updating the ban to a date one year after One Elephant tried to leave his/her "last words". 

 I personally can't see the similarity between  and  but maybe others will see something. It's a guessing game really. I don't believe that the current system is working well and I can see that Wikipedia is starting to fall apart a bit.
