Ragone's Sock Puppet


So this isn't very nice:

The San Francisco blog SFist went and outed Peter Ragone, Mayor Gavin Newsom's press secretary, as the man behind a "sock puppet" commenter who shared his views, only a bit more vociferously. In particular, "John Nelson" seemed to think various reporters were biased against the great mayor.

It's a funny story, but I want to add a quick note: I'm not going to be outing anybody around here based on IP addresses. Once the comments section is working a bit better, even sock puppets will be safe.
