Just interested to know why, as I was going to reply to a point made by him/her when I saw the BANNED under the user name. Couldn’t find anything ban-worthy in a quick search. ---

**LogicalKitten** claimed to be **vanilla** ’s sock. (And the bizarre writing style seemed, IMO, to back this up.) ---

> [@Zabali\_Clawbane](#): > > Link, please? That thread was removed. In it, LK claimed to be vanilla and stated how easy it was to rejoin the board (as a guest) by not posting in a manner that would give her away. LK also stated she would be doing it again once she moved and signed up under another ISP. If it was vanilla, it was a pathetic sight. ---

While I never saw **Logicalkitten** lapse into “vanilla” prose, I have to admit her sock seemed to communicate much better. I also didn’t see the “confession” thread, but if she was doing that well with little or no suspicion, it’s too bad she felt the need to gloat. I’ve never been accused of being the most observant person in the world, but I certainly didn’t connect any dots with LK being vanilla. I hope she’ll move past all this. ---

When we have a banned person trying to sneak back under some other identity, we eliminate all their posts as well. That’s why the thread was removed. Furthermore, we don’t want people discussing her or this situation. She was banned because she couldn’t follow the fairly simple rules that make us a community. She is now trying to subvert the notion of community, by appearing as a “new” identity. We don’t feed the trolls. I’ll leave this thread here in case others have the same question, but I’m closing it.
