How many of you all garls and guys have sock puppets here...?

You don't need to name them... I already know six members here who have admitted to having more than two. I myself, come by the same name, and never have found sock-puppets very admirable.

So... come... on... how many of you will admit this? :bugeye::rolleyes:

0 sock puppets.

What's the point?

How predictable... and yet... the point should be clear... especially after the atrocious behaviour and predictability... Now, how predictable was it that i would find all of this annoying, to actually post and make a point?

However, Ben, you are one i can eliminate from the list. Nothing you say seems unoriginal, from grammatical and ... well... i think you might get the point now.

I have two but I only used them very shortly after making them. Months ago.

0 sock puppets.

Indeed.

The point is very clear. So many come here and trust the words of different people, when actually they are dealing with the same guise, so to say.

I think Ben meant what's the point of having a sock-puppet.

If that was his point, then i agree. It is stupid, cowardly and less than social.

That's how I read it.

Just for the record, I have never used my socks to vote on polls or anything like that.
Actually, I didn't do much of anything with them :p

I'm not sure that is the entire truth. And how many have neglected from answering this thread. Just shows how many garls and guys do have sock-puppets, but will not own up.

My only attempt at a sock puppet was a disaster; I blew it after a couple hours. And that was years ago. To view part of that pathetic endeavor, click here (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=11699).

(Sad ... sad ... sad.)

I did, in fact, have a different handle when I first showed up here, but that's a weird case. The user doesn't appear in the members' list, which suggests that for a while we could sign on as guests and just give ourselves a name. Try this early discussion (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=2368) for Issola's brief appearance, and also the transition to my current incarnation.

I consider the sock-puppet route more effort than it's worth. Tracking multiple user names in order to yank people's chains is generally an exercise in futility.

Futile. Worthless, and pathetic.

Nope never had a sock puppet and never will, if I want to act like an asshole I will do it on this name like usual.

Well said.

It's quite a surprise none of the six i was talking about have owned up. How cowardly.

Alright Reiku, you've made me feel guilty enough. I'll admit it. My sockpuppets are AlphaNumeric and CptBork.

Reiku
07-18-08, 02:04 AM
Oh no. There's quite a difference between you three, however, i'm sure you have had discussions about me however. I need some valium i think.

ashura

Heh, I promise I've never had a discussion about you with myself Reiku.

That's almost a pub trivia argument waiting to happen: Who is Reiku after?

Nor will we employ any enhanced interrogation techniques to get the names out of you. It's probably for the best if we don't call those folks out directly.

CC - I don't believe everything i hear. But i might make an acception.

And eh... no. I would never state their names.

Yep. Gods own sock puppet, fitting His Right Hand, so-to-say :)

Oh, whether you have or not used a socker in a poll. Don't take it to heart, you just didn't sound very serious.

I would post a screen shot, except as a Moderator I can see everybody at once, including the people who don't want to be seen online (both AN and CB are online for all to see).

I back some time use to have a Sock it might occasionally appear on very special occasions where a personal view I have might upset the equilibrium. When that happens it makes it's statement and then disappears into obscurity for months until the next time. It has not been used in general for a while and I can not recall the last time it was used, however it's not a poster to be made deals with in what it thinks. I would state the points as who I am however they go beyond riskying and what I'm willing to have this overall character linked to.

Believe me you'll know if you've been personally bitten or stung by them.
