Let me start by saying that I post online as Bowspearer. Months ago, my now ex girlfriend claimed that she'd discovered something incriminating about me online but refused to tell me what it was. As I was obviously concerned, I did a google search of my username as to my knowledge I am the only genuine user of it.
To my horror, I discovered this link- In the process, I came upon this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/ColScott_%282nd%29 where I saw that y username had been banned from Wikipedia, even though I'd never been a member. Now this concerned me greatly at the time as I to my knowledge had been the only person online who went by the name Bowspearer. I tried a few times unsuccessfully to have my username set aside when the ban was ended, only to be denied.
About 6-12 months previous to this discovery, a user on AOL Instant Messenger with the screen name Wackeedude contacted me claiming to be none other than Hollywood producer Don Murphy who is attached to such films as Shoot 'Em Up and the recent transformers movie. As I had been a regular board member on his message board, I had no reason to doubt this.
Late last week I was on the receiving end of harrassing instant messages from this same user. Amongst what was claimed was that he had used my username as a deliberate attack on my character. If this all proved to be true it would mean that your information vandal going by Spawnopedia/ColScott/Bowspearer is none other than Hollywood Producer Don Murphy. This should also be able to be proven by IP address checks as well as with AOL themselves. If the user Wackeedude is not Don Murphy, then it would still lead you to your vandal and the person who made threats agaisnt Kynn. Either way it is a lead worth pursuing.
I have also emailed this to info-en-o@wikimedia.org along with attached screen caps of the actual chat.
I hope this helps you guys out and eventually gives Kynn some justice.
