I got burnt once by somebody using a sockpuppet account.

[i_kender]

Really?

Which really just means people should learn how to use sockpuppets properly.

Sockpuppets can be good if you want to go get anonymous advice from a community.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can see how they could be useful when people want to keep a strict line between their public persona, and their personal persona, and don't want to manage it via filters. It can get messy though when things start to overlap.

It has less to do with sockpuppet as idea than with people starting drama, which, you know, will happen with or without sockpuppets.

The other time I got burnt by sockpuppetry was when somebody was logging into LJ as somebody else, in order to read the somebody-elses f-list and see things that they shouldn't have been able to see. Fortunately I spotted it was happening quite quickly, and pretty much stopped posting anything in my LJ that I wouldn't be happy with the whole world knowing if it came to it.

And I've deleted my comment just in case. Because god knows this is one drama-storm I do not want to accidentally re-ignite.

God bless wikipedia... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29)

heee!

No need to be so emphatic about it. What are you some kind of Sockpupephobe?

[i_kender]

You don't want to know the images that popped into my head. Anyway, Sockpuppephilia was outlawed after the Sooty scandal of the late 80's...

[blankbadge.livejournal.com]

Well it won't necessarily be illegal forever. The National Man Sockpuppet Lovers association is gaining more and more followers!
