How about an answer rather than your usual deflection? I would simply call it another account. If one's account has been banned, I would say opening a new account is just that, an account. One account, one voice. A "troll" or "sock puppet" account would be when a member opens two accounts simultaneously and uses them to act as two different people in order to further the agenda of one or both of the personas. Pretty simple. In fact, I would say that the way you and prop operate on here, with your tag-teaming and building off of each others' snide comments and personal attacks of Franklin and I, would be a more accurate portrayal of how a, "sock puppet" operates.

"come to the rescue"? Nah, just pointing out your spin, bias and eagerness to use your relationship with moderators to have someone you disagree with silenced. Franklin has treated you no worse than you treat him in these forums, yet his account gets closed? If you can't see the hypocrisy in that, you are only fooling yourself.

I have zero devotion to Franklin. You and prop can claim that all you want, but it simply doesn't make it so. There are plenty of things that Franklin and I disagree on, but they are simply disagreements of opinion, not the factless, baseless and emotionally-charged personal attacks that you and prop sling constantly.

Boy, the narcissistic comment sure touched a nerve. Is narcissistic a rude adjective? Or is it, as you say, simply a word that has a meaning? Is it rude to call a narcissist, a narcissist? I think not. "defend my rudeness"? LOL Let's break your spin down, shall we? You alluded that calling you a narcissist was some kind of personal attack, so I provided a definition of the word and said that your posts and behavior on these forums supports that. It was not, "defending my rudeness" at all, simply providing context and justification and taking responsibility for my statements. Something that you and prop never do.
