    What's ironic is that your constant obsession with sockies and trolls is becoming trollish in nature.

    Why not step away from the keyboard, get a breath of fresh perspective, and come back when you feel better? There's obviously no engaging with you in rational discussion, so I'm locking the thread.

    Considering the style of the posts they fit the profile, nothing to stop someone creating a sockie using the name of a customer of theirs either. We've all seen so many assurances that a poster is "genuine" who you eventually have to ban that frankly they're worth less than the CUK subscription.

    If you don't like being caught out in inconsistencies either apply the rules consistently or tell the rest of us the actual rules, how they're applied in practice and the list of approved sockies with reasons.

    Are they sock manufacturers?

    If only the sockies you sanction WERE funny, shame they're not.

    It's hard for them to be consistent when they're flailing about after realising they've contradicted many of their past posts and actions.

    But not technically sockpuppets though.

    Nah it's important that THEY post the list and why, that way their logic can be understood, it will add a little comedy value by providing evidence that their past posts about rules are utter lies of course, including the banning thread of course.

    It's blatantly obvious that Scroatman is a sockpuppet from the same puppeteer as Gittins etc and it was obvious from the first post.

    It is a mystery as to why some are tolerated and others get banned
