Is it a fun game to see if people will catch on? You want to make it look like more people agree with you?

Because they can't get back on with their old name?
A fresh start?

I think they do it because they have been offended by someone on the board.

1. For fun
2. To troll people
3. To make it appear as if independent outside voices are agreeing with the owner of the sock, i. e. the sock puppet owner is manufacturing support for himself/herself
4. So that the sock puppet owner can engage in poor behavior without sullying his/her reputation
5. To make serious points in a humorous manner
6. To make a particular point of view look foolish by impersonating a stupid or ill-behaved advocate of that point of view

When Nimrod went through the temple, he was given the new name "sock puppet".
Any more questions?
