(EDIT: In case you don’t know, username2 is an anonymous account that anyone can use, created after some jerk changed the password to the Username account formerly used for that purpose.)
I’m well aware. It is therefore even more problematic if this account is abused—note that there have been multiple confirmations that username2 has been used to downvote the same people that VoiceOfRa was downvoting before; in addition, VoiceOfRa has used the username2 account to start arguments with NancyLebovitz in a way that makes it look like a 3rd party is disagreeing with the decision, rather than VoiceOfRa himself. At the very least, it is better if everyone is aware of this situation, and ideally we would come up with a way to prevent such abuse.
Seriously, does your definition of “abuse” cash out as “someone’s saying someone I disagree with”, because that’s certainly the one that best fits your usage?
Where the hell are you getting that from jsteinhardt’s comment? He’s not saying anything about the content of those comments, only on the fact that they might mislead an outside observer in thinking that more distinct people are taking part in a discussion than actually are.
I’m 85% sure that you’re VoiceOfRa.
So what?

The sudden very positive karma is extremely suspicious.
I was 85% sure at the time that username2′s comment was posted. I’m now 98% sure for a variety of reasons.
I’m only 75% sure that the upvotes on “username2”/VoiceOfRa’s comments above are from sockpuppets.
