Gaurasundara changed his name from Ekantik to Gaurasundara twice: Refs: 01 02
Asked about deleting his profile:
Gaurasundara's first edit on his userpage came from Ekantik's page , Ekantik was the very first person to greet him .
"Gaurasundara" is a well known internet critic of Sathya Sai Baba and under the name of "Ekantik", he is attempting to argue that he is not a POV editor or pusher although all of his edits pertain solely to the controversy sections.
Ekantik secretly attempted to get Freelanceresearch (a Sathya Sai Baba proponent) blocked on Misplaced Pages: . When one considers that Freelanceresearch is a public critic of Gaurasundara (he also uses this name outside Misplaced Pages), then the attempt to get her blocked is understood.

"Ekantik" is my original account. I opened a new account ("Gaurasundara") to make separate contributions to pages connected with Hindu religion and changed my listing on connected project pages, before finding out that sockpuppetry is forbidden by Misplaced Pages. After finding out that sockpuppetry is frowned upon, I attempted to delete my account with no success, hence my query at WP:HD.
After a thorough reading of WP:SOCK, I discovered that sockpuppetry has legitimate use that coincided with my original motivation in opening another account:
| “ | A user making substantial contributions to an area of interest in Misplaced Pages might register another account to be used solely in connection with developing that area. | ” |
and
| “ | Someone who is known to the public or within a particular circle may be identifiable based on his/her interests and contributions; dividing these up between different accounts might help preserve the person's anonymity. Users with a recognized expertise in one field, for example, might not wish to associate their contributions to that field with contributions to articles about less weighty subjects. | ” |
After reading how these legitimate uses of sockpuppets was consistent with my original motivations in opening the account, I no longer needed to worry about it and continue to use both accounts for separate purposes legitimately. Hence I replaced my Ekantik membership of certain Misplaced Pages projects with my Gaurasundara account.
Freelanceresearch is a follower of Sathya Sai Baba who violated WP:POINT, WP:AGF, WP:NPA and behaved disruptively on Talk:Sathya Sai Baba (example). After being asked by Pjacobi to step aside and refrain from continuing off-Wiki arguments, Freelanceresearch refused to do so. JzG (Misplaced Pages Administrator) strongly chastised Freelanceresearch for being a single purpose account and thus a POV-pusher (in relation to Sathya Sai Baba article) and warned her with a block. This argument continued at User_talk:Freelanceresearch (example) where Freelanceresearch received a second block warning.
A cursory look at Freelanceresearch's contributions and talk page reveals WP:SPA and POV-pushing in relation to critics of Sathya Sai Baba. For her disruptiveness on Talk:Sathya_Sai_Baba/archive6 I filed an incident report at WP:AN/I as SSS108 has exampled above. There is nothing "secret" about it as my contributions and edit history can be viewed by all.
SSS108 is a well known internet proponent and advocate of Sathya Sai Baba (examples of this are too many to list here) and is a friend and colleague of Freelanceresearch in numerous off-Wiki projects related to Sathya Sai Baba. This is the reason for his bringing up of my incident report at WP:AN/I that is completely unrelated to his allegations of (legitimate) sockpuppetry, and which I regard as somewhat frivolous. My contributions show my involvement with many different pages related and unrelated to WP:INCINE, some of which are contentious. As such I will have no hesitation in filing complaints against anybody if I witness disruptive conduct, vandalism and other negative behavior from any editors.
I believe that I have adequately represented my position. Please inform me if clarifications are necessary. Ekantik 02:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
