"Sockpuppets" generally have an agenda, puppeted by a person using a false identity. They take fake names, not just for fun, but in order to mask their true identity. This is done to appear unbiased and to sell an idea or make a particular point. But from what I can make out of Romy's ramblings, he seems like an equal opportunity basher.

Romy craves attention and he tries to get it by being rude and insulting people. He seems to focus on people he perceives as being minor celebrities or highly visible in the field. But no one is immune to his attacks, I don't think he has anything good to say about anyone but himself.
