michael Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Without looking it up, does anyone know what a sock puppet is in internet parlance? Without looking it up isn't it a person who basically runs through the same kind of input as their chosen "hand" - a groupie of sorts who attempts to replicate their internet idol or someone hiding behind another identity? Edit: Like all those characters Geneb creates when he's banned or the ones he has posting for him at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
