[WikiEN-l] JoeM, Paektu & Palestine liberator the same messer?

Sun Aug 10 20:38:16 UTC 2003

I suspect that [[User:Palestine liberator]], [[User:Paektu]] and now 
[[User:JoeM]] are the same person, purely on the basis of edits. All three 
'users' have notable similarities in style, and Paektu's and JoeM's user 
pages are strikingly alike in construction. All three strike me as 
provocative 'characture' users created to provoke people.

The views of all three are not merely extreme but ludicrously extreme. 
Paektu claimed to be a stalinist, yet his writings seemed clichéd and 
phoney, basically an act. Ditto with Palestine liberator who didn't seem 
concerned with promoting an NPOV analysis of the middle east and actually 
appeared to know surprisingly little about the topic for someone who 
pretended to know a lot, and seemed to me merely an exercise in screwing up 
pages and causing chaos for the fun of it. JoeM's stuff seemed equally 
extreme, nutty and phoney, as if trying to pick a fight. Their edits seem 
too suspiciously loopy and deliberately ludicrously provocative to be 
genuine.

I can't help wondering whether any banned user with a grudge isn't trying to 
get revenge. One particular banned user did after all come on some time ago 
posing as paedophile, even asking if he could download pictures of any 
children we had. (A real paedophile wouldn't have asked, just done so. That 
user wanted to let everyone /know/ what he was up to, as if trying to taint 
wiki with paedophilia, perhaps hoping it would damage us. These three 
'characture' users seem in a similar vein.
