Sockpuppetry

[bogeyman]

So I confess, I have just registered a sockpuppet. It's going to be dormant for a while to throw you off the sent but it opened up a whole new aspect to CUK posting behaviour I was oblivious to. What are all those familiar names posting like crazy on the counting and test delete threads doing? There is more to this sub-culture than I imagined.

I am starting to get a sense of why sockpuppets must do it. Some kind of cerbral mind game or maybe a bit like going shoplifting in your wife's underwear - it's the thrill of being caught?

I'm a sockpuppet.

I've never worn my wife's underwear. Am I normal?

I have sometimes read SY01's posts and wanted to accuse him of being my sockpuppet too! His earlier posts reminded me so much of me.

No. Please. Don't.

There are enough on here already posting drivel, some of which is contentious and could cause problems if an CUK was ordered by a court to subpoena duces tecum their membership list and IP addresses.

Once or twice.

Of course, the only way to prove that you are Spartacus is to tell us your favourite sandwich. If you're right, then you must be Spartacus - if not, just a mere imposter.

I couldn't sleep, so I just got up to make myself a ham and tomato sandwich with some mustard.

While I'll concede that some of the sockies are dull and tedious, others are very funny.

Bob Shawadiwadi's a perfect example. He hardly posts, so nobody ever gets sick of him, and his posts are always good for a giggle
