Yup, repeating edits made by sockpuppets of banned users is a problem.
No-- it's really not. That's a logical fallacy as has been discussed. Not all banned user edits are bad ones-- they're smart enough to make good ones from time to time, just to mix it up.
Yep... and, as the WR person who posted here last night said (his blog posting is interesting reading), it's quite possible that there are "socks of banned users" on *both* sides of a contentious dispute, as in fact there was in this case. Yes, that's right... the blog link was re-added by a trolling sockpuppet of a banned user... but the blog link was also *deleted* by a trolling sockpuppet of a different banned user, and the two banned users were in collusion with one another on this, trying to stir up drama, and they succeeded. The only solution to this sort of thing is to calmly and rationally decide the issue of whether the link should be there or not, without regard to which version happens to agree with some banned user.
