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.

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.
