please just think about what youre saying here Lets take this by the numbers   Firstly quite frankly I am dissappointed that you saw no reason to act in the face of the diffs and information I posted at   Your suggestion that HighKing should step back from this type of edit is quite frankly going to be ignored again as his edits on The Automobile Association showed His admission that he has a problem sounds depressingly familiar After  years of being unable to contain this problem himself and in the face of overwhelming evidence yet again in this case that it still exists then coming as it did off the back of yet more of the usual erroneous defences duplicitous denials and improper deflections is surely wholly unsatisfactory  s close was both abusive and counterproductive He closed a perfectly valid complaint based on completely irrelevant reasons namely my status further below and on his talk page If I had not pressed him about it on his talk page he wouldnt have even bothered to notify you about it and you would never have even heard about s actions at The Automobile Association  Your charge of harassment is frankly ridiculous  all I have done with this account is make factual statements about HighKings current and past behaviour which you yourself have just repeated today is still problematic I am obviously not the IP user he was edit warring with I never engaged with HighKing I never reverted HighKing I never threatened or personally attacked HighKing All I did was comment on the situation in a factual manner in the hope other admins would take action in your absence If me making this sort of contribution spoils HighKings enjoyment of Wikipedia who the hell cares quite frankly Its simply not harassment If HighKing was to turn into a model editor tomorrow then hed never hear me talking about him ever again Thats not harassment its practically the job description of a Wikipedia admin  Your block for evading scrutiny  it is entirely pointless Enforcement of WPSOCK long ago stopped being about whats good for Wikipedia in many instances as this block shows Whatever my history whether this is a legitimate or illegitimate alternate account whether Im blocked or banned whatever there isnt a single thing that I could possibly be hiding that would make the edits this account performed look any less valid to an outside observer Nothing that might be or could be revealed about me would change their meaning or relevance and it certainly wouldnt make them any more true The idea that only established can be implicitly trusted to tell the truth on Wikipedia strikes me as extremely dangerous a view no admin should be seen within a hundred miles of holding let alone repeating  Taking    together there was absolutely no preventative purpose to this block and so it it is entirely without grounds in basic policy And on the issue of basic points of policy with regard both the socking and harassment charges  you dont even know for sure if this is an illegitimate sock You dont know if I have a regular account or if Im blocked or banned Youre just guessing For all you know I might be using an undeclared alternate account because I myself might have previously been the victim of harassment from HighKing and so I would have a perfectly legitimate reason to hide what my regular account is when commenting on him in future And given the fact that as this block shows being critical of HighKing is seemingly enough to get someone tarred with a charge of conducting a long term campaign of harassment without any actual evidence whatsoever then it would be entirely understanable if an editor in good standing would not want to expose their main account to that sort of smear as the price of simply commenting on HighKing  To expand on the socking issue  rather than being an inappropriate use of a sock when it comes to HighKing I think its self evident given his past using a sock when commenting on his behaviour at a venue like ANI is highly appropriate as it removes his ability to do what he has often done in those situations namely trying to deflect attention from his own behaviour by talking about what the people reporting him have done whether it is even relevant or not and indeed whether it is even true or not his habit for example of making matter of fact sock accusations without any evidence at all as if he himself were an admin is really disgracefull Frankly as  just recently told him WPNOTTHEM  As an aside if youre determined to enforce WPSOCK just because it exists rather than because its the right thing to do then why not ask HighKing why he has failed to abide by WPSOCK by not linking his alternate account  from his current account Or is one rule for established accounts another rule for brand new accounts The policy says no fwiw  And on the general pointlessness of this block  unless or until other people like you Ed Black Kite or any of the other hundreds of admins who seem to just be content to ignore him take more of an active interest in HighKing and start to focus their energy into either reforming him as an editor who actually follows the rules and is actually here to benefit Wikipedia or removing him from the site if that proves to be impossible then I and all the other people who object to his continuing pattern of behaviour will continue to harass him by making reports and pointing out his entirely relevant history and record of being warned and topic banned  Wll I think that just about covers it
