Shit, I know you don’t want to reward socks with attention but you should save those and link them from the rules page that explains sock puppets. This is textbook stuff.
That’s the kind of thing that brings joy into my otherwise empty existnece. 
You never can tell. Didn’t seem like he was using them for very much anyway.
No, he never paid for any of them. He stopped posting during that period and came back after the board went free. I don’t think I’ve seen a sock who paid for multiple accounts, although I’ve seen a few who got other posters to sponsor them.
Am I reading that thread wrong or did the third poster just make a mistake?
He got his attention years ago, so I don’t mind linking to it here. Once you see what he was doing it’s hilariously lame. I’m sure we won’t put it in the rules, but I think I’ll link to it in that “Are socks bad” thread. 
Yeah, I noticed that this morning. We’ll know pretty soon I guess!
It’d probably be too hard to keep up the charade if he tried to pay for all of them.
Did he post and then, coming back to respond, forget he was logged in as one of his socks and tried to cover? That’s some really weird shit. Seems to me it would be more of a pain in the ass to keep everything straight than it’d ever possibly be worth.
You know, lieu, I think that’s exactly what happened there.
Wow, that’s some good douchebaggery.
Hey, if a FriarCed ever shows up here, I swear it’s not me! L
(Now some damn friend of mine will actually pull that.)
:smack:
That’s how I read it, not an intentional picking of a fight.
That is just some bizzaro shit.
Hmmm…now THERE’S an idea…
I know that there’s a cushion of time between each of those sock posts, but the way they stack up in the threads gives me this amazing mental image of warmgun running into a room, shouting something, then running out and coming back in two seconds later with a giant fake handlebar mustache on and saying “I agree! Bully for him!” Then maybe he runs out again and comes back in a top hat and glasses, perhaps forgetting to have taken the mustache off first.
I’m not sure why he’s British, exactly, but I no longer question my brain on some matters.
I didn’t mean much in particular - I was just joking around.
Sort of like the argument about how to punish a Siamese twin for murder.

This is why I find arguing or agreeing with myself is mush less confusing using just one screen name.
Ah, ok. I didn’t think of that. How many socks would a multiple Siamese twin need anyway?
Easy. Give him half a life sentence.
Is that you J.D.?
My question is “why?” Why would someone bother with this kind of sock-puppetry?
Has anybody ever explained why they did it?
