Rip up your text books and throw away your calculators. If John thinks 2+2=5 then the entire universe must be wrong!
perhaps you should check your batteries
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term, a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock, originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an Internet community who spoke to, or about, themselves while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other misleading uses of online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a person or organization,[2] or to circumvent a suspension or ban from a website. A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29it says nothing about separate accounts
Again, it would just be easier to admit you are wrong instead of going out of your way to prove it.
By your own quote, a sockpuppet is...
"a false identity assumed by a member of an Internet community who spoke to, or about, themselves while pretending to be another person." irrelevant
"created to praise, defend or support a person or organization" bingo
"To circumvent a suspension or ban from a website."irrelevant
These require seperate accounts.
why? because you say so? no they don't ...
Changing the name won't get past a ban, nor will it allow you to speak to yourself like you are a different person.
you ever read postmodern trendoids posts?
Even the last part should have made it clear how totally and utterly smacking wrong you are;
"A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer."When "Morning mist" starts posting and agreeing with "cultural warrior" like they are two seperate people, then accuse him of using socks. Until then, grow a pair and admit you are wrong.
good of you to leave out 'postmodern trendoid' ... otherwise you'd make yourself look silly again
