OK, as you won't give up, pg, here are the rules in question:
- Bad behaviour gets you a first warning
- If you don't improve after a second warning, you get a two-month suspension
- If you attempt to rejoin the community under another name while suspended, no matter how well you behave, you get banned
I really think these are fair rules. And they're stated upfront.
But no matter what rules we choose, the facts are this:
- We suspect someone of lying about who they are.
- When you suspect someone is lying, asking them "hey, are you lying?" is not a logical way to find out.
- Linguistic analysis is. And there are great Perl modules for it.
You should be happy with the outcome anyway pg, because as far as I'm concerned, with the help of Perl, I'm now satisfied that these two people aren't the same. It's like one of those annoying lawyer shows where they prove the guy innocent.
