I notice that a lot of the comments in this thread that defend having Eugine’s comments invisible have been downvoted. That could well be “on their merits”—there are certainly good arguments for not making deleted comments completely invisible—but if some moderator is feeling zealous, it might be worth looking for signs of Eugine-socks that might hitherto have been missed...
Sorry, that was my bad. It looks like I broke the thing that reversed all of Eugine’s votes everytime we banned him. I fixed it now, and the votes on this and other threads should soon be restored to normal. I did a bit of analysis, and it seems that he made a total of about 80 votes or so, so a good chunk, but nothing that overwhelmingly skewed the discussion outside of this thread (since those votes were distributed over a very large number of comments).

...yup, that looks pretty likely.
