I'm looking at the "sooper seekret"

Wikitruth), and I see a list of signs that one is dealing with a
troll/sockpuppet, generally in the form of "new people don't act this
way." !! was held to fulfill every one of them, and yet the
identification turned out to be faulty.
No it didn't - !! *is* a returning user.
But Durova wasn't simply giving a cookbook in the identification of a
returning user (even there, it might not be a false positive here, we
already have argument in the rest of unquoted part of the post as to how
it could easily provide false positive). The sooper seekret evidence
starts off in the first paragraph indicating the following example was
one of a returning WR-related troll/abuser.
Please remember this thread started with the message by The Mangoe about
the circumstantial arguments that were used to justify sockpuppetry
blocks, not whether it correctly or not identify someone as a returning
user (in good standing or otherwise).
