This user freely admits to being a sockpuppet, his justification appears to be a misreading of WP:SOCK. The user's posts on WP:RD/H have been pointless and unnecessary. Possible Troll.

This case appears to fall squarely within the WP:GHBH policy.GSTQ (talk) 06:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Lord Foppington has requested me to clarify the above comment. VIVID proclaims on his user page that "VIVID is a sockpuppet created for another, more established user, to post more controversial views". Translated, "to post more controversial views" means "operating a 'bad hand' account for the purpose of... disruption".GSTQ (talk) 12:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that may be, but I can't see that he's actually really posted any comments - good or bad. Yes, pretty pointless posts to the RD, and a couple of questionable edits, but that's it. There's no actual activity which, if he were a sock, would constitute a breach of policy. No action at this point in time. GBT/C 19:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
