It’s obvious that you have kept careful records, and that apparently you have positively delighted in doing so

I'm glad you highlighted this because I should have addressed it and needed a segue.

I do not keep careful records. I think I've saved only one. It was trivial to produce both those lists. Anyone curious could do the second one at any time and the first is like clockwork but really just the bad luck of this epoch.

The first was a direct grab of an HTML fragment from Worst Nodes. And because I'm JAPH this was easy–

perl -007 -pe 's{<a href.+?\?node_id=(\d+).+?</a>}{[id://$1]}gs' wn.ht
+ml

So, the effort involved in producing that rebuttal was under five minutes. Writing this reply has already taken as long.

The second rebuttal took longer but it was also trivial and can be easily recreated. I visited locked_user sundialsvc4 ⇒ Writeups ⇒ Order by: lowest reputation first, click Search ⇒ Open a batch in new tabs, cut and paste node IDs, add downvote total manually in same pass to save time; one proofread then create.

No recordkeeping necessary because there are plenty of tools and options for a technologist. It probably seems mysterious or even ominous and stalk-y to someone who doesn't know how to work with data but it was nothing special as you can see.

Now the delight. When someone tells a bald-faced lie to impeach me I do take some pleasure in presenting the flaming pants to the courtroom. That is short lived though and is ultimately no recompense for the ongoing legal costs.
