I think Eugine used to be here because he was interested in improving his and others’ rationality. I’m not sure he still is. And his trajectory doesn’t seem to be in the direction of improvement.
I don’t think there’s much risk of anyone thinking Clarity is a Eugine sockpuppet, and it looks to me as if people agreeing with or defending Eugine get pretty much the amount of backlash you’d expect for the opinions themselves, without extra for Siding With The Enemy.
(Incidentally, AIUI Eugine_Nier is not his actual name but a pun on “engineer”; but “Eugine” is the nearest thing we have to an actual name for him so it’ll have to do.)
