I hadn't even considered it, but now that you mention it seems incredibly likely. Damn, I fell for it. I chose not to downvote the comment because it was just a new guy who was a bit naive. Thanks for pointing it out.
Now, unfortunately I can only downvote once and not "disable account, disable all detectable aliases, block IP address".
ETA: Now it would seem that I agree with your assessment more than you do.
The writing style is noticeably different, and there are no vitriolic personal attacks. If this was mormon2, I am quite favorably impressed with him.
You're right, all lower-case "i" for the first-person pronoun in comments thus far. Those were my biggest reasons for not being more suspicious.
We need IP address records to check or something. All this suspicion about duplicate identities is very tiresome.
At least that way we would be selecting for trolls with a certain minimum standard of subtlety and resourcefulness when it comes to identity management.
