 ::Thank you for the reply. I understand. It is indeed a tough predicament due to the increased sock/meatpuppet activity. However since there is nothing to debate and the socks keep coming, it is a rather unusual situation in which talkpage debate is unlikely to end in the consensus which would end the full protection. This is why IMO in the long run it would be better to simply suppress the sock/meatpuppet activity rather  than fully protecting the article.
