Elo is a mod and keeps banning Eugine-sockpuppets, and is therefore The Enemy.
Other mods before my mod-time imposed a ban on Eugine for sock-puppet voting behaviour and then proceeded to let him post when he made new accounts/ the period of identifying a new Eugine takes time so his posts would stay up for weeks at a time. Also if you ban an account without deleting the posts then his mark stays. I stepped in and won’t let any of his posts stand more than a day because he is banned, he also has a habit of posting in identifiable ways, repeatedly—up to 10 times, trying to post literally the same thing. Him Posting is just him trying to break the ban. Which STILL STANDS FOR REASONS OF ONGOING SOCK PUPPET VOTING.
If he came back, didn’t sockpuppet, and picked a new alias—we probably wouldn’t know. But idiots with a vengence… It’s relatively easy to work out who he is when he posts, or sockpuppet downvotes. We are working on a reverse-downvote solution. I don’t have any interest in pressuring Dev volunteers so it will happen when it happens. Feel free to PM me if you want to join the development of a solution. I think python is the language it will be happening in.
Its a good enough answer, although I was wondering what you had said to annoy Eugine so much.
Of course, on some issues, libertarian positions agree with SJW positions, so maybe Eugine thinks you are more left-wing then you really are?
yep. What gjm said.

I hadn’t noticed until now, but I haven’t seen any Eugine sockpuppets in a while, and it sounds like that’s due to you.
Thank you.
