investigated this affair for possible abusive socking).
I hope they are not, this is a shocking disregard for fellow editors. Socks used this in this manner is fully supported by policy and even more importantly allowing them in this context is the right thing to do. High profile, long term editors/admins are routinely allowed to be much more inflammatory on-wiki then these guys were over the one night they were active....we give users who write the word poop all over an article more leeway then this....
