Unlike the common, everyday sock puppet, which normally exists to support the original account identity in "edit wars" and other Wiki nastiness, the mule exists primarily to carry its creator's psychological burdens, and is left to wither and die if the charade is successful. Normally this involves Requests for Comment, arbitration rulings, cat-fights, character-assassination attempts, and so on, but can also include obsessive hostile editing, which usually means the insertion of needless categories, templates, and deliberately inflammatory images (as opposed to actual content, which would require at least a modicum of brain activity).
