They are definitely mild nuisances. I mean, have you seen them? They jump in and say stupid things. Ban them all.
Your denial counts for something. Not enough that I would assign less than 0.5 probability to them being you but enough that 'benefit of the doubt' applies. At the very least you have distanced yourself from the behavior of the others. Of course if credible evidence (including the testimony of sufficient others) indicated that you were lying about them not being you I'd endorse an unconditional permanent ban.
The frequent inclusion of conditionals and caveats would indicate otherwise and I wouldn't consider my approach here particularly underhanded even if I did have that as a goal. No, this isn't personal---it really is about a preference for enforcement of a sock-puppet abuse policy. "Clippy" is actually on my "Do Not Feed" list due to sockpuppet abuse considerations---in particular, dishonesty regarding the use and being consistently not funny in the role. I now get hatemail from him. Literally, it says "i hate you" in the body and the subject.
Still think this is way too high, but whatever, too hard to consider the counterfactual.
I haven't been annoyed so much as puzzled. I feel like Harry right before he realizes that Snape doesn't make sense.
I dunno dude. I don't see a caveat in "Ban the sockpuppets. And Will." But whatever, as long as you're chill now.
Lol. Strange. (I've been accused of being Clippy before, by the way. Also, as you might remember, AspiringKnitter. It's sorta getting old by now.)
We could try to compensate by starting the rumor that you aren't really Will Newsome, I suppose.
I am Will Newsome!
Ridiculous. You are too creative and intelligent to be Clippy but not quite creative and intelligent enough that you could pull off being that mediocre for that long. You'd have made a far better Clippy if that was a game you had felt like playing.
