I've received a PM from Angel explaining why certain IP addresses match.

I'm now satisfied that Angel and Nebula are, in fact, two different people.

I've asked Jay to unban Nebula; we will of course still take action against anyone posting any more personal attacks or off-topic posts in the ESB:R thread.

 

Out of curiosity... what is this explanation?

While I'm not going to divulge details given to me in a PM, I will say in general terms that there are many valid reasons why two users might share an IP address.

For example, at one time Rob and Stinky-Dinkins both posted from the same workplace (as evidenced by the exchange here). Another time, when I enquired why two users shared an IP, I was told they were husband and wife.

If you took your laptop around to a friend's house and posted using their wifi, your posts would be logged with their IP address.

I guess after the JediTray incident(s), I was left a little more twitchy about IP addresses. I should have asked for clarification before applying an instant ban.

Anyway, Nebula's back, but is on thin ice if he doesn't practice a little civility.
