Socken and sucken up to Mx now, eh Mikey Mouth.

You are either using a definition of "sock puppet" that only you
understand, or you don't understand the term as other people use it:

Good luck with this one. We've been trying to hammer it into Maxie's head
but he insists on his own definition.

Maybe you should expand your horizons a little beyond the troll sites, dumb
ass.

Been flying with Gertie lately?

Well that explains your outlier opinion of Jay H. Wish I'd known that
earlier. It would have saved me typing time.

The term sock puppet has been around much longer than the internet.

My first recollection of it was studying political history in the 9th
grade ('60s), but I have heard it used even more often in corporate
environments since. In either case it is used to indicate someone is
parroting someone else's believes or ideals.

First I've heard of that meaning. On Usenet I always took it to mean
someone posting under multiple aliases. I may be wrong, but I may be
typical in understanding it by that meaning.

The links you include below appear to me to be unrelated to the meaning
traditionally used on Usenet. To avoid confusion, you might want to modify
your accusations by saying they are parrots, or parroting, or brainwashed,
or something other than sock puppets.

Either definition works for me. I don't care if someone has created a
covert identity, or if weak minded individuals simply parrot someone
else's mission, both examples seem transparent here. Let's face it,
who cares if Bich Ahrens, Mikey Mouth or any of the .kook folks, is a
fake identity operated by Bertie, or just another weak minded fool
sucking up to him. They both serve the same purpose.

Links included only because I like ya.

If we can't tell one from the other, and they both serve the same purpose,
why do they need two names.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you've
got a duck.

Considering their actual motives, I guess we could call the real people
"suck puppets".

Because anyone with two working neurons can tall the difference. Which
eliminates you, I realize...

Considering the amount of crap you spew, we'll just have to keep calling
you an asshole.

Jumping to conclusions, aren't you? I've met numerous folks here, flown
with a number of them, and been to more rec.aviation fly-ins in
Pinckneyville than everyone but the hosts. My opinion is my own, not
imposed by anyone else. And it is less of an outlier than you believe.

Theres people who think Bertie isn't a flaming asshole troll?

Unfortunately, debate by definition rocks the boat.

Well the link that the buttman posted wasn't in the Aviation chat area.
it was in the "Pilots Lounge" that is described as...

"Forums in this category are not necessarily aviation specific. These
forums are our "Virtual Pilot's Lounge" where you can come in, chat,
have a cup of (virtual) coffee and a (virtual) donut and talk about just
about anything you like. "

The on topic aviation post can be found in "Controlled Airspace."

here not dealing with Aviation in some way will be moved or deleted."

Okay, dear. Whatever you say. I agree completely.

That sounds like the start of a "Live forever" joke -- it's not
forever, it just seems that way in OK. But an OK friend had a nice
comeback. "Why do all the trees in OK lean toward Texas?"


"Texas sucks".

I admit it. I laughed. Now I'm ashamed!




If it wasn't for Oklahoma truckers and Mexican whores, there would never
have been a Texas.



Yeh, Maxine, We're thirlled you'r proud of your roots.
