Im not making a fetish out of anything. I agree with the unblock, but there are several users and admins who justifiably feel at danger in discussing that. I believe the lack of professionalism is due not to increased freedom with the socks, but understandably high emotions.

In correct, the policy explicitly allows multiple accounts, permitted sockpuppets in certain areas, so long as they arent used to game 3RR or create the illusion of broader consensus. We aren't talking about just a 'lack of a rule' here, its spelled out what you can and can't do.
Don't make a fetish out of written policy on Wikipedia. It is not something to rely on. The conduct of socks on that thread was not our finest hour, and if these socks become more disruptive they will be blocked.
