_ Wikipedia in Blogland _ Funniest sock-puppetry ever

Posted by: EricBarbour

It happened recently on a blog for discussion of atheism, called http://yourenothelping.wordpress.com/.
(Yes, it's been locked by the owner. Apparently because he's crazy, and totally
intolerant of criticism.)

You can read the whole http://thebuddhaisnotserious.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/the-curious-case-of-the-youre-not-helping-blog/#comment-289.

It's got everything Wikipedia has, in microcosm.
Egomania, abuse, lying, manipulation, abusive sockpuppetry
to support a bogus POV, and even perma-banning followed
by hostile offsite propagandizing.

Haha. It does follow the Wikipedia storyline quite well. The obsession with sockpuppets and the "detective" work.

Well, you can't have a proper drama unless everyone stays on script. smile.gif

OT, I propose "obsession" as the collective noun for sockpuppets.
