PG unfortunately calling attention to suspected socks in good faith doesn t seem to be a personal attack See generally WP SOCK But don t run around accusing everyone of being socks themselves or you ll get yourself spanked for violating WP POINT I am not crazy about it but I don t think it s nearly as offensive as calling someone a rapist for example Even more confusingly there isn t actually any rule against using socks as long as you don t vote twice on the same issue or do one of a few other forbidden things My advice would be to blow the whole issue off your comment counts as much as anyone else s whether or not someone called you a sock Just explain that you re not a sock and go back to making your edits what do you care what some other random editor sitting in his basement like me thinks
