he did use his sockpuppets to vote, engage in political arguments, attack political opponents and in one case pretend to support a party he didnt like in a way that made the sockpuppet (and thus the party) look like a complete tool.
Perhaps its true he was just trying to see how much he could get away with. I think its very likely he was also motivated by partisan interest.
This is a tendentious rewriting of history. ESB's sock puppets - inc. Benedict Stamford - personally attacked me in a way that makes AD's sniping look like friendly banter. A strange way to go about it if he wanted to help the ZRT win.
Benedict Stamford was an idiot and a charicature. I don't think people took him seriously at all. Certainly he caused me to see the RUMP more negatively. I'm pretty sure he hurt the RUMP more than he helped. The others were a lot more subtle.QuoteOf course most of the socks voted ZRT, but that surely comes under "supporting a party in such a way that made the party look like a complete tool", as you say.Only because they got caught.
The others were a lot less well fleshed-out than Benedict Stamford, to be honest. When King John called me to confront me, he asked me how I had got ahold of BenStam's logins. I had to tell him I'd made him up as well.
This was very much a project in "how much can I get away with" and very much less a "let's do this for partisan benefit."
