Evidence

Roboscreech (talk · contribs) added their own inappropriate images to several food-related articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Almost immediately after I removed the image from Hero sandwich, Drunkboxer (talk · contribs) reverted my edit. Both users have uploaded similar images of pizza with hamburgers on top [6] [7]. This may be a case of meatpuppetry (no pun intended) rather than sockpuppetry, but the behaviour by both accounts is similarly disruptive.

All listed accounts were involved in an edit war on Truel and Mexican standoff involving the repeated addition of an image (the same image for both articles).

I'm not his sockpuppet or even a meatpuppet by the strictest definition. We are friends but I've had this account for a while and it wasn't created to support his edits. Furthermore disagreeing with one user about an image isn't disruptive. I think user Delicious carbuncle hates one particular image and is getting very bent out of shape over it as he has run out of arguments to counter my (very reasonable) points listed on the talk page. It's just a picture of a sandwich buddy, calm down. Drunkboxer (talk) 19:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a case of someone being angry because their argument doesn't hold up. Not only did the Hero page not have an image, but the image provided was very accurate. Just because Delicious carbuncle doesn't like bacon on his hero, doesn't mean that it isn't a very common topping (the very definition of a hero is an italian themed sandwich with two different meats). But in any case, this should be discussed on the Hero page, not here. The user is clearly disappointed that their senseless edit was countered with a logical argument and has resorted to intimidation. Merely the fact that Drunkboxer and I are friends, and occasionally look at each others contributions, does in no way mean we are puppets in any exaggeration of the term.

I think the edit wars on Truel and Mexican standoff suggest that there's more involved here than my supposed dislike of bacon. Even though the edits are old, I've added a couple of accounts involved in that debacle (including the originator of the image so fiercely defended, Jeanshortscollector (talk · contribs)). Hope this helps. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Curses! He's on to us Roboscreech, my master! Our plot to upload relevant images of food and illustrations of clichés from cowboy movies has come unraveled! It is my recommendation as your Subcommander that you disengage puppet units Cooldood246 and Jeanshortscollector, their cover has been blown. Damn your eyes, user Delicious carbuncle, you win this round, but we shall live to upload our sinister sandwich images another day!!! Drunkboxer (talk) 21:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
