Right poem, wrong fragment.

The sphexishness is strong with these ones (both Eugene and the LW moderators).

I do wonder whether Eugine is deliberately being obvious as a sort of fuck-you to the LW community in general and its moderators in particular. "You guys are so ineffectual that I can keep just using names chosen the same way and saying the exact same things and being super-obvious about it, and before anything's done I'll have had months to fight the good fight. Hahahahaha!" With, perhaps, a side order of "See how weak and useless the namby-pamby liberal mindset makes you."

A simpler explanation is that there is no reason for him to be non-obvious.

Agreed. (But simpler explanations are not always correct, and my mental model of Eugine -- which admittedly is probably not terribly good -- feels quite likely to do that out of some combination of fun and spite.)
