I have no opinion on whose sock CW is, but I would say “barely coherent “drunk” posting” is exactly the kind of deliberate performance art that could be done deliberately to annoy and then blame on the “booze” later. ---

CW is finally banned! It would be _unseemly_ to continue discussing him here but that’s not a bad thing. ---

At least he’s only got one of his accounts banned - the wench has had her sentence reduced to a week. ---

> [@Teuton](#): > > You’re surely not suggesting that saucy\_wench and Charlie are one and the same!? At least he’s only got one of his accounts banned - the wench has had her sentence reduced to a week. I find it hard to make sense of his post if it wasn’t supposed to have been posted us **saucy\_wench**. It’s just a blatant admission of trolling for attention in a thread asking about her. It has the same tone as the **saucy\_wench** character–openly defiant trolling, and not the same tone as the Charlie Wayne character at all. The only logic I see for him not being her is if he was mocking her, but that’s also out of character for the Charlie character. It seems weird that they’d be so good as to keep up the character for so long and slip up that badly. Messing up by not realizing which sock they were logged into makes more sense. I actually was thinking of PMing the mods about why they reduced the suspension. But then I saw the comments here and thought I’d wait and see if anyone else could explain the logic. ---

But then I saw the comments here and thought I’d wait and see if anyone else could explain the logic. I’ll confess that I read that post by CW and thought that the post was rather coy for ol’ CW but I didn’t make the saucywench connection. ---
