Worst neologism ever.
Yeah, "sock puppets" make more sense than
"meat puppets." I think it's not
well thought out to include the two together.
That's the reason why in another thread I proposed the term "posse" to
replace it. That way, instead of saying that the creator of webcomic
FooBarBaz brought "meatpuppets" to AFD, you say "He brought a posse".
Closer still should still give their votes the same weight as he would
if we were still calling them "meatpuppets".
