;Suspected sockpuppets {{user5|1=Herd of Swine}}
;Report submission by ~~~~ ;Evidence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Herd_of_Swine is a sockpuppet account of http://en.wikilib.com/wiki/User:MickWest . The "Herd of Swine" account appears to be a single-purpose account, for the purpose of violating NPOV on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons and putting in a http://morgellonswatch.com spin in place of fair and balanced editing. Note that 'MickWest' had been editing the Morgellons page prior to 4/8/2006, and then user 'Herd of Swine' account is created, and on 4/10/2006, edits the same paragraph previously edited as 'MickWest' -- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morgellons&diff=prev&oldid=47816896 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morgellons&diff=prev&oldid=47579539 Subsequent to 4/10/2006 'Herd of Swine' continues editing "morgellons" pages, with puppetmaster 'MickWest' account remaining active for editing other subjects. The reason for this sockpuppetry, is that 'MickWest' runs http://Morgellonswatch.com, and wanted to push the Morgellonswatch POV on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons anonymously -- because Morgellonswatch viewpoint is contentious "hate speech" against Morgellons patients. Sockpuppet 'Herd of Swine' is thus constantly arguing that this disease must be ignored by the medical profession because victims of the disease are all crazy/delusional or making up their symptoms for attention. He and his quackwatch cohorts 'Arthur Rubin' 'JzG' 'Fyslee' 'Thatcher131' and 'Dyanega' have successfully manipulated POV on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons towards this viewpoint, and constantly suppress information and ban users with opposing POV -- that morgellons is an infectious disease. Even subsequent to the announcement of a CDC investigation into the disease -- http://www.cdc.gov/unexplaineddermopathy -- 'Herd of Swine'/MickWest/Morgellonswatch continue to mock patients and libel the doctors researching this disease. Plenty of publications exist to counter the Morgelonswatch POV, but they are suppressed or censored by the Morgellonswatch/quackwatch cabal subverting NPOV: http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/42/11/24-b http://www.eblue.org/article/PIIS0190962207001958/fulltext http://www.future-drugs.com/doi/abs/10.1586/17469872.2.5.585 ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MickWest states "I work in the video game industry – somewhat as a game programmer. I've been doing it for quite some time. I also write articles for Game Developer Magazine. I live in California." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Herd_of_Swine states "Hi, I'm a retired software engineer. Somewhat bored of software, I have varied interests, particularly subjects on the edges of science, and the people involved in them. [...] I have a web site, Morgellons Watch, which reports and discusses matters relating to Morgellons from a skeptical perspective."

(?Symptoms - copyedit) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morgellons&diff=prev&oldid=41186378 'Herd of Swine' begins editing in April 2006, just after 'MickWest' ceases to edit Morgellons. He is seen pushing "delusional parasitosis" POV over the POV that parasitic infections exist and cause real disease in humans on numerous pages: 'Formication' 'Morgellons' 'Delusional parasitosis' 'Medically unexplained physical symptoms' 'Morgellons Research Foundation', etc. Oldest edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&limit=500&target=Herd+of+Swine Newest: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Herd+of+Swine NielsMayer@gmail.com, an independent morgellons researcher, patient and activist has been investigating the links between quackwatch, and morgellonswatch. As a first step, he "outed" the owner of Morgellonswatch.com for the purpose of establishing and serving a defendant in a civil case of "internet hate speech" found on Morgellonswatch.com. Evidence he's posted to http://lymebusters.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=rash and Morgellons@yahoogroups.com shows strong evidence that Morgellonswatch.com's owner "Margellons" is "Mick West" (see below). Meanwhile, http://en.wikilib.com/wiki/User:MickWest sockpuppet account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Herd_of_Swine admits to this: "I have a web site, Morgellons Watch, which reports and discusses matters relating to Morgellons from a skeptical perspective." The following three emails provide evidence establishing that Morgellonswatch.com is owned by 'Mick West' and therefore 'Herd of Swine' is a sockpuppet account. ;;Email 1 from Niels P. Mayer to Morgellons@yahoogroups.com,Morgellons Bayarea date Nov 4, 2007 7:17 PM subject [Morgellons] watching morgellonswatch I noticed that Morgellonswatch linked to a file on my server through http://morgellonswatch.com/2007/10/30/morgellons-disease-the-mystery-unfolds/ (i renamed the file they link to, so as to "break" the link on their page, as I don't want real information from my website being compromised by the disinformation spewed at morgellonswatch.) Examining my logs, I'm pretty sure that 208.109.206.115 appears to be the IP address Margellons of Morgellonswatch.com uses.
