Re: Uh-Oh! Questions to ask:
I figured that it was possible that he had created a new account because he forgot a password or some such, but since the account he was using to do anonymous with (that he switched to) was lower-numbered than the newer account he was non-anonymous with, I decided to wait and see.
For the most part, nothing he did was particularly in violation of that rule.
But then in the
Kevin Trudeau debate forum, you can see a post he made
here and then a reply he made to a response to the first post
here, which can be interpreted (or possibly not) as supporting his anonymous alter-ego.
This is the only obvious example of which I'm aware, and it's borderline (but on the violation side, not the not-violation side).
In such a case, I figure the appropriate response is to call him on it and make sure everyone knows that the two are the same person.
One question I have is, why is he anonymous with his second account in the first post and non-anonymous with his first account in the second post? Why is he posting anonymously part of the time and not the rest of it? While I respect the right of a person to make anonymous statements because of the sensitive nature of the topic, for example, The_Corinthian is clearly not concerned about being associated with a specific viewpoint on the various topics he discusses in the various
Debate Forums , as he posted under both accounts in the forums and made the same arguments as both.
And since he's been intermixing the one account and the other -- there was no sudden switch from one account to another and permanently remaining on that second account -- and both accounts were from the same IP address -- there isn't any credible excuse like "I forgot my password" or "I'm logging in from different locales". Even having two different computers behind a router or some such still begs the question, why two accounts when changing a forgotten password is a simple process?
The simple, obvious fact is that he's subtly gaming the system.
