editWhy did you add the {{sockpuppeteer}} tag to your userpage? It seems more like a confession rather than a joke. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 09:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- For a laugh. PennJilletteFan (talk) 16:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- Also you might not wanna mark your replies as minor edits. :p Anyways, drop by the Wikipedia:Teahouse when you feel like it. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 16:48, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK then, Ive read the relevant help page and know where youre coming from so sorry about that. Can you please be more careful with templates where they may not be understood? Sorry to be bossy. PennJilletteFan (talk) 17:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- What templates? Sorry, I edit so much I don't remember anymore what you could be referring to. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- This. PennJilletteFan (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Are you saying that template was hard to understand? It seems pretty clear to me. What did I do wrong? We're supposed to notify people of issues they might not be aware of, like using the minor edits ticky box correctly and signing their posts on talk pages, etc, else they're just going to continue doing that thing wrong. The messages are worded pretty politely so I don't know how I could have been more "careful". But anyway, you should always feel free to ask for an explanation or clarification when someone uses a template message on you. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 10:10, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- It was polite but ambiguous. PennJilletteFan (talk) 10:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Note
editYou are behaving exactly the way a returning banned troll would act. It might seem precocious, but it isn't. If you are trying to see how much you can get away with, you've found it. If you don't stop it, this account will be blocked. You've clearly been around a while, so getting this note is surely not a surprise. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC) p.s. if you quote WP:BITE at me, I'll block you immediately. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, screw it, life is too short to keep an eye on your contribs. Let's save time and I'll just block you now. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- But why? — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:34, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- Why what? Why block trolls? Because they are a timesink. Why not wait for further disruption? Because trolls are good at dancing back and forth across the acceptable/unacceptable line, and end up being even more of a timesink. Why do I know he's a troll? Several reasons, but the most obvious: because 100% of the time, "new" editors who start screwing with {{sockpuppeteer}} tags of other accounts are sockpuppeteers themselves. -Floquenbeam (talk) 15:52, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. I wasn't sure what proof you had besides "you don't look like a new editor". — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: Please do not leave me another message, Ive read all of yours and even if I am a sockpuppeteer two wrongs don't make a right. PennJilletteFan (talk) 16:25, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

PennJilletteFan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I would like to be unblocked as I wish to report Floquenbeam for his personal attacks and threats directed towards me here which you can also see above on this page at the appropriate noticeboard. If unblocked I'll edit nothing else. PennJilletteFan (talk)
Decline reason:
I see no attack or threat in Floquenbeam's post, unbless you see the accusation of sockpuppetry as such. In my opinion the accusation is valid, and the block therefore is good. Requesting an unblock in order to complain about the blocking admin is not acceptable. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:20, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
Fine I am a sockpuppeteer but I will promise to stop trolling and to keep to one account if unblocked as well as refraining from vandalism and obeying all policies and guidelines. PennJilletteFan (talk) 17:24, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
In which case, you should log into your original account and request an unblock there. PhilKnight (talk) 17:41, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
