What constitutes "bad behavior" is dependent

"Sockpuppet accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the

statement, I still think it's valid in at least some situations.
No, that's entirely fair.
It is, however, valid to say that *alternate* accounts can be used in
internal discussions, so long as your use of them does not turn into
sockpuppetry - in other words, keep them seperate and don't have them
work on the same topics or in the same discussions and you're fine.
The trick is remembering that alternate accounts can become
sockpuppets, but aren't automatically such, and the community has a
long history of recognising that.
