No, I didn't.  I said quite the opposite, that "IslamIsViolent" and "Stonewall" were not the same people.


--- Quote ---a New York Times article claims that "sockpuppeting" is defined as "the act of creating a fake online identity to praise, defend or create the illusion of support for one's self, allies or company."[2]

The key difference between a sockpuppet and a regular pseudonym (sometimes termed an "alt" which is short for alternate, as in alternate identity) is the pretense that the puppet is a third party who is not affiliated with the puppeteer or acting under their control for their benefit.

No, you said that Islamisviolent uses another name on Fornits.  That, in my mindis a sockpuppet.  If you don't like it, but all means embrace your opinion with all your heart.

I did say that, but he doesn't fit the definition of a sock-puppet.  The account is not used to deceive...  merely to maintain privacy.  See my previous post.

I don't agree with your assessment.  As the posts of Islamisviolent are, in my opinion, bigoted and hate-fuelled, I very firmly belief that the use of another user-name constitutes sock-puppetry.  But I suppose it will have to be left to your Solomon-like judgement, clearly demonstrated in your phony claim that I was accusing posters of being secret agent jews.

Well. You can take it up on wikipedia's discussions page and with the sources they site.
