Forum:SH:A very strange confession

Erm, so after reading through the sockpuppetry policy, I'm fairly certain this isn't a problem, but I feel I should probably go ahead and admit to this for the sake of transparency. Around two years ago, I got into a dispute with a user on a small book-series wiki over their repeated addition of fanfiction despite warnings. Eventually they understood, and created their own wiki on their fanfiction, then messaged me there and began acting as if I had promised to help them build it. Looking back on it now, I'm convinced they were either really young or legitimately mentally impaired in some way (similarities between them and users on the autistic spectrum I've encountered). Naturally, I said no, but I was rather immature back then, and argued with them for weeks. Long story short, I ended up blocked there but got their wiki taken down for some violation of the ToU. I later discovered the wiki recreated, but rather stupidly and immaturely assumed I couldn't just ask staff if it still violated the ToU because, if I remember correctly, I thought it'd look like harassment or something.

My solution? Create a sock, use wookieepedia to make it look like a 'real' account, then 'discover' the fanfiction wiki, offer to help, and then somehow I guess I would get it deleted again? I eventually forgot about the sock entirely, and my immature feud with the other user ended not too long after.

I just remembered this a few minutes ago. Since I wasn't circumventing a block, here or anywhere, or doing anything against any policies, I doubt I'm at any risk of being blocked, but for the sake of transparency (and what the hell, maturity too considering how little of it I had two years ago), I figured I might as well admit to this.
