I have a blog I really want to post, but I just created my profile on LW and don’t have any karma yet. Can you please up vote this comment so that I can post? I’m a long time community member, just new to the blog.
Shannon really is a long-time and hugely contributive rationalist, hosting a ton of meetups in a great space and making a lot of other contributions as well. Thumbs up.
It is one thing to have sockpuppets for the purpose of humor. It is another to keep them secret and lie about them. It is particularly ridiculous when you have previously revealed your other sockpuppet account.
I now consider Clippy’s use of multiple accounts (with dishonesty) to be a violation of good faith usage of the site. Every comment made by the Clippy account will be downvoted by myself and should be downvoted by all other users until it is abandoned. It is unfortunate for me that Clippy has multiple accounts to potentially be voting with in retaliation but I have karma to spare and the Clippy account has become too much of a nuisance.

Thanks Frank! And thanks everyone who up voted my comment! :)
Have you posted on the welcome thread?
Interesting strategy.
Definitely, I wish I had thought of that excuse.
It’s still an option! Just create a new account. Not too soon, though, it’d be suspicious.
And hard to keep track of. Clippy already has three accounts that I am aware of.
No, I don’t, liar.

Where?
On reflection, I agree with you and will be downvoting all of Clippy’s comments and those of all other abusive sockpuppets I’m aware of.
You’re a bad human.
As are you.
