I would be crap at sockpuppeting. Have enough problems if I ever name change for something sensitive and live in fear of getting the wrong name in the wrong place. Deliberately doing it on the same thread would just about kill me I think

Thank for explanation. Sounds.....nuts daft tiresome idiotic. But then what do I know, didn't even know what a sockpuppet was. They're probably politicians in RL?

I've always thought that babyheave was amazing and insightful and I agree with her post 100%

Lazy Sockpuppeting: When you can't be arsed to namechange before agreeing with yourself.

Yep.

As in "Oh look, here comes XXX to back up YYY's post again. Funny that. Puppet, sock, anyone?"

Implication is that XXX is YYY's sockpuppet and YYY is trolling the boards - if only to mislead.
