It seems pretty clear to me that sock puppetry is being used as an excuse for everything If the sockpuppet IPs and their puppet master s accounts have been blocked as other editors have said they have then this issue becomes a non issue and is just really been used as an excuse for whatever reason I can only assume good faith but one could be forgiven for perceiving the possibility that this could merely be an excuse to ignore IPs and for a clique of editors with accounts to make the article say what they want it to say A niggling suspicion of course I wouldn t dream of making such an accusation like I say I must assume goodfaith so that is what I shall do 130 88 114 46
