Sorry, I said why a couple times on aim, I suppose I forgot to say it here as well. IB has been here quite a while, at times coexisting with Gheyme under real dummy accounts.
I've spoken with them both at the same time. I know it's possible to have two aim accounts going at the same time, but if they are the same, he carried on two entirely seperate conversations with two distinct personalities, which I've tried to do and found exceedingly difficult.
Someone (who I won't name to save humiliation) also told me they read ib's web site, which is all consistant with the ib persona.
From what I know of Gheyme, he simply doesn't have the ability or probably the initiative to do all of that, not to mention it being quite outside his style. At the most, they're associates, but I just can't see them as the same person.
Of course, the easiest way to solve this is to have ib shows us a picture of himself having sex with a female with a kangaroo in the background. That will prove he's not Gheyme.
In light of this information, remember two things:
1. I'm not saying I want iB allowed back. I really don't care. I would prefer a precedent be set that you can be banned for no reason, and a lot more of it be done. In a way, this has happened, since apparently the banning was underway before this double identity idea was set upon. Good.
2. Even if they were the same person, I would probably argue that they weren't, for fun. But I assure you that is not the case in this scenario.
