Do you have ears made of cloth, Pix?
Who said anything about banning sock accounts, or those who use them?
Not me. Quite the opposite.
Let me say it again, because you appear to not understand the use of very plain and simple English.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with sock accounts, provided that they are not used to target individual posters, or as a cover for complete and utter cowards to post material that the craven coward knows will get him banned.
We all know that The Village Bike was a sock account, and whilst it has been (quite rightly) closed, the person behind it hasn't been banned. I (and several others) believe that the person behind that sock should be banned, not because he had the temerity to use a sock, but because he used the sock in a cowardly fashion to break the rules and to cross a line.
Please confirm that you understand that, Pix.
So you don't want a ban for contravening the rules per se? .. just for instances where contravening the rules might be to your personal discomfort or detriment?
Wouldn't just banning everyone that has had a sock account cure the problem you are so passionate about, Quents?
