Sock in it

I never take the word of a Guardian journalist at face value. That said, whatever the facts of the case, I had never heard of sock-puppets until all this crap started. Some people seem to think that their use is legitimate promotion and marketing. To me it’s cheating of the very worst sort.

    I quite agree. Tawdry and very nasty.

    I wholeheartedly agree. I’m only just catching up with this story but I can’t believe the attitude the author has taken in either his belief that sock puppetry is ok or toward the author who has looked into the case in detail. I’ve never read his books and I’m never likely to either.
