The psychology of sock Puppets
As Well as being a bunch of sorry arsed losers, why do these people bother and why are they sometimes employed?
Computer nerds, Technical wizards or linguistic genii, as some profess, living in a delusional world of self importance?
Some who are doing it in their 50's when quite frankly they should be out larging it big time.
Is there a website. Sock puppet for hire?
Should we have compassion for them as they live their life waiting for orders or act it out via their psychological alter egos in some insubstantial fantasy?.
Do they develop personality problems or do they already have them. Carol. Have three been any studies on this? I have not seen any to date.
Here are some links in relation to the psychology of sock puppets and their traits.
