I have to agree. Both of these users have attacked me for no reason at all, and both within the last hour or so. It's astonishing.

Ah, but I forgot that Sanchez is so concerned with decorum. It's always been his hallmark as a poster, after all - the graciousness with which he treats each and every opponent [and never an enemy] he comes across. He's just so incredibly consistent about it.

Sure, Sanchez defends the Charlottesville marchers and the parkland shooter, but at least he's polite about it- Atlas 'Centrists'

It's a sad day when I'm agreeing with Sanchez.

Interesting how strong of an opinion they have of some of the posters already. Maybe they've been long time lurkers? Could be socks though too.

Words like this make me think the above poster is a sock.

Yeah they know WAY too much about Atlas to be real. Root out the socks and punish the puppeteers! I suspect DoctorImperialism is behind one of them personally.

By the way, a number of posters have talked about "making the forum intolerable" for Mr. R, Fhtaghan, Santander, Naso, and myself. I suspect this is the work of an established poster trying to say what he really thinks, and it'll be hilarious when this person, whomever they may be, gets banned for making the socks.

Or this could - one of them, probably Hoog - be a desperate attempt by Cora to return.

Materialist admitted he was a sock, and the other one probably is too. I'm just curious who is behind it, and if they are still an active user here. It wouldn't be unusual for a normally "measured" active user here to create a sock to air the thoughts they are too shy to do on their main account. I can think of one active user who has done that before.

At any rate, they are both on moderator review for the time being.

Is it possible to catch socks if the user went inactive for years before creating the sock?

There’ve been banned posters that returned and were pretty transparently the same person.

I was not talking about users who got banned with that question.

The new socks seem to be fungus-ridden.

This is pretty amusing, considering that I'm not the same person as Hooog.
