The Great AHK Block

Possibly the most dramatic block this season, the appeal that lead to me getting a namechange was watched by dozens and dozens of A and E's. I will attempt to truncate it as much as possible.

1. I create the alternate account 602214179 Puppet as a joke, stating that I would use it to commit vandalism in the user page. 2. In complete violation of everything that had ever been written on Wikipedia, it was autoblocked. The reason was "vandalism-only account", even though the only edit ever made was to my talk page. According to the actual rules, one has to commit vandalism to be labeled vandalism-only. If minor, the ban is measured in days, not infinities. 3. When trying to tell admins that there was nothing wrong with my account, this account was blocked for having an offensive username, Asperger, he'll know., although a later ruling overturned this judgement. 4. When trying to appeal that ban, jp gordon was hired (I can only assume he did not stumble upon this by himself) to checkuser. It turned up that I had multiple accounts (note that I have never actually used them, with the exception of another parody account, L C Rael, which had made a grand total of one (1) non-userpage edit, and claimed to be a "quantum economist"). They were labelled as "sockpuppets", despite not actually fitting the definition. JP = "I've already blocked your other accounts, thanks". 5. Appealing about a dozen more times, the block was lifted after I promised not to do anything wrong ever again, and it was recommended I change my name. I was not bothered anymore after that.

Thanks to Mangojuice for cleaning everything up, by the way.
