In real life, a witchhunt is the hunting of a witch. In the Wikipedia, a witchhunt is the hunting of a sockpuppet. Unless the sock is causing any real damage (eg vandalism), it should not be blocked. WP:AFD, WP:RFA, and WP:FAC are more controversial. Remember they are not votes, but a discussion. You yourself should probably try not to hunt, and an important thing to keep in mind is that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
