Lumifer already called outsight as yet another instance of Eugine, well before this post existed.
The mere fact that sight is arguing for “HBD” here can’t be very strong evidence of his Euginicity, since there are plenty of otherpeople in the discussion who are fairly clearly in agreement with HBD[1] and who are very unlikely to be Eugine.
The main effect this post seems to have had on sight is that he has gained a lot of karma[2] from his comments on it.
[1] For the avoidance of doubt, I do not intend any sort of value judgement when I say that.
[2] If sight == Eugine, and if widespread suspicions about Eugine are correct, then the karma gain may be mostly from sockpuppets. (I am personally not as sure that Eugine is upvoting himself with sockpuppets as some other LWers appear to be, though I wouldn’t be surprised if he were.)
sight was banned. His karma gain won’t avail him much.
And other people are arguing for it, but none of them are new users, nor do they have Eugine’s characteristic style. I was watching for him, and sure enough, he showed up. He can’t help it. Predictable opponents make for easy targets.
Executed in what sense?

Clearly not.
Oh, did I miss an announcement? OK, then.
