I have no idea how many "sock puppets" I have had here. Someone had leaked one of the mod logs somewhere else from here and I couldn't believe the insanity of these old mods we had and it seemed like they thought I had all these sock puppet accounts. :lol:


Is that around the same time your old account was banned?

Yep. If you mean 2010 around that great moderator purge they called it.

I wonder how many accounts got nuked because they thought they were all mine. I was surprised my ex's didn't get nuked since I have browsed on here at his place. My ex no longer comes here and has been long gone.

Aye, I know. And you're still the hot topic here :twisted:

I can imagine this is quite unpleasant for you, but maybe you should also feel flattered in a way: you seem to inspire passions bordering on obsession!
It's like Milhouse van Houton once said, "Even abuse is attention ... sort of ..."

Thank you for the mental image, Jakki 8O

Extra points for the metaphor, you really know how to get the point across :lol:

That's difficult sometimes and one of the main problems with text-only conversations. I'm sure we've all had that problem where we are misinterpreted, and I hope we have all apologised for those times. In other instances it's reasonable to infer or suspect a negative intent if there are direct / indirect slights against others, negative or accusatory language, repetitive patterns of ill-will, a history of that person not listening to advice about how to change their writing style, or a history of that person not ignoring those who expressed upset. Of course that should be clarified as well, and if it wasn't the intention there should also be an apology. We know all this and it's not rocket science, so I realise I didn't really answer your question. I thought there was a specific etymology you wanted me to deconstruct.
I rely a lot on recognising patterns of behaviour and sometimes communication both here and IRL - it has been extremely useful to me, particularly at work and to avoid abusive relationships. Past behaviour predicts future behaviour and all that - isolated incidents don't count.
So instead of a linguist, I should be asking for input from an FBI Profiler/Psychologist, right?


I kept thinking about your question, Fnord, pertaining to psycholinguistic research on text-based communication, intent, theory of mind, and people's ability to interpret sarcasm. I haven't read these articles fully but they do seem relevant to what people were discussing at this point in the thread. I'll post them for now for people to read if they're interested, and get back to them later on because I'm more than half asleep. There's some interesting empirical data in both of these articles. Just food for thought. I hope they help.

Nah that's too subtle.
