Tony,

Could you be more specific as to which socks were being 'disruptive'. I saw 
editors who felt they did not want to have their ID known yet comment on 
this situation, enganging in discussion.

And as far as your comment of "not making a fetish out of written policy on 
Wikipedia", I believe that comment is not only uncalled for, but completely 
void of good faith. Furthermore, if someone is acting within the bounds of 
policy at the time the policy was in effect, then whether you LIKE it or not 
is really a moot point. No need to accuse others of trolling, or having a 
Policy Fetish.
