Every once in a while I sign in, just to check. I can always sign in using the single account that used when I went there. The Real Steve N one. SteveN had been my forum user name forever, and when I tried using it when I first went there it was taken,, by a real SteveN I know from Alabama, so in case he still went, I tried TheRealSteveN just to mess with him.
It's possible I have been identified as a rabble rouser too, but the VPN keeps me from being locked onto?. Anyhow I can sign in, and before I left I threw enough digs at the Ladybug, and her support of that POS software they threw at us, that she warned me, but seemingly never banned me. As for identifying peeps, your IP address, unless you have a good VPN is static, so that is all they need to block. You could change user name every 5 minutes, but your identity is you IP Addy.
