 * 1) Sockpuppetry is not permitted. If the sockpuppet keeps appearing, he has every right to force the person out of the wiki. the end justifies the means
 * 2) The abuse filter, for Ancestor things, sure. However, it is true that sockpuppets keep appearing and appearing under the same freaking name. As for innocent users with similar names? Not only is that impractical and unlikely, but they could very well change their username by that logic. Who knows how many public computers we may have blocked from editing, for that matter?
 * 3) Computer lag causing rage? Oh, sure, how dare he take his anger out on a non-serious situation! Do you have any idea how annoying that is, especially if it's a situation where the user has no control over the computer? I've had many situations where PvZ2 doesn't allow me to tap anything until it wants me to, thereby annoying the everloving crap out of me.
 * 4) Except doing so would harm the page's authenticity. Hooray!
 * 5) And he can do the same with those powers. What's your point?
 * 6) What edits are there to undo? You do realize that there are plenty of users who can revert edits as need be? You realize that the error may be corrected before he even has a chance to touch the computer? This fails to take other factors into consideration.
 * 7) Editing the same page over and over again? Yeah, um, TULO? I do the exact same thing! Has it ever occurred that he may not have recognized certain errors until after he published the edits? Has it ever occurred that he may have been editing section-by-section? Again, you're not taking other factors into consideration.
 * 8) Itsleo20 also said "Is being on chat a valid reason to be admin?"... which it is with that level of activity and power.

Sure ever mod has the right to fish the sockpuppets out of the pond but who on earth ever said that you have to curse at the user to do so? Cursing at another user is still tantamount to harassment. I, as a mod, do not curse at a sockpuppet when one arrives chat. I just plant the bomb on the sockpuppets and that's it. I mean, does cursing at the sockpuppets ban them immediately? What bans them immediately? The ban button or a shot of swear/harassing remark? To curse at a sockpuppet like telling them to get the (f-word) out, to me, is one of the best ways to put a frown on the community.
