SlimVirgin has abusively sockpuppeted before - as Sweet Blue Water if my
memory is correct - a sock which she tag teamed with on articles and used to
vote twice in some instances. I don't think she's in a position to get self
righteous that anyone would think she might be sockpuppeting again,
particularly as she's never apologized or explained the SWB sock.
