Sock puppetry?

[Bertha Venation]

Aware of any on DU? If you are, don't name names. I'm just curious.

1. I think so, but I don't really get the point of it

:shrug:

:wow:

2. Nothing in particular, but I remember some very similar screen names

that no longer seem to be active.

Also there is a DUer out there that regularly gets tombstoned and reincarnates

3. Yes. Some were public and amusing

Others were secret and seemed unnecessary to me.

4. ?

I don't understand the term.... can you explain it for me?

5. If I were to create another profile, then come onto DU w/ both user names

and reply to my own posts -- say, for support if no one saw my side of the issue -- I would be performing sock puppetry.

Put socks on your hands and make them talk to one another . . . ;)

6. ahhh... thanks

I just joined the 1k+ club... They haven't taught me the handshake or issued my list of 'DU-isims' to me yet, although I did get the nifty super secret decoder ring!

7. Well there is also the "I don't feel safe saying X without a sock puppet".

similar to how psycologists supposedly give patients puppets to have them talk things out.
For instance if you just wanted to flame the shit out of someone, you might be better served with a puppet

8. I haven't got a clue what you are talking about....

:P
