Same here.
I suspect a couple of newbies in the last few days are Abeholes.

I voted "yes" for three reasons.
1. Technically, I have two accounts as one of them is my moderator account (although it's "Maestromod," so hardly a disguise).
2. If we prohibit multiple accounts, then we're going to end up with post after post and thread after thread of people accusing each other of being someone else and violating the rules. This will also pop up if people change their names for whatever reason. This will get very tiresome and is my main concern with this question. The worst part of a political message board is when it sinks to this kind of junior-high level obsession with who is who.
3. What difference does it possibly make? None of us is who we say we are. I hate to disillusion anyone, but my name ain't "Maestro." It's the words that matter, not the person saying them. Focusing on the ID of the poster says that we decide whether the person is right or wrong rather than the words, which is foolish. It is saying that we need to know whether or not we like the poster before we comment on his posts because we are afraid of agreeing with an "enemy" or disagreeing with a "friend." This is also foolosh.
My advice is to please leave well enough alone. Who cares what ID someone uses when we're all using aliases anyway?
My lone exception would be forbidding people from trying to use a misleading username in order to appear to be someone else, or to mock someone else. For example, setting up an account named "Oddysseus."

Dang.

I would imagine it could be tricky and time consuming to police multiple accounts, and really determined psychotics could figure out some loophole, not unlike a tear in the time-space continuum.
Suggest you put Bama in charge of that.

Allowing multiple accounts just winds up making my member block list that much longer.

I've seen people accusing Abe of using several accounts, but I either missed when that happened or forgot about it because I generally don't care that much about that kind of thing. What was he doing that spread so much chaos? |

What was he doing that spread so much chaos? Using one account to 'atta-boy' the other and attacking members on multiple fronts.. Am I 100% sure it was Abe on all those accounts?. No. I didn't have access to users IP but the style and pattern were eerily consistent. |

Well, the Abe virus is back. So far he seems to have four socks: Abe, Nelson, Deleted, Shawn.
Do we really need to provide a stomping ground for this troll?
