A sock is a sock puppet. When a poster comes here and does something like, say, shilling for
Brooklyn, that poster may quickly find himself the object of ridicule on this board. Then that poster may decide that the only way to muster up support for his shilly cause is by creating it- creating a new user name and using it as a "sock puppet" to disingenuously go after his enemies and support his cause. Or heck, why not create 11 fake usernames?
That's what I mean when I cry "sock."
ETA: The funny thing about the
Brooklyn sockmaster is that he always follows the same behavioral patterns. Take that as you will.
