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
