Reminder that he did this on the Linux kernel mailing lists. If I was a Linux maintainer who found out that two of the people I'm talking to, are actually with high likelihood the same person secretly maintaining a charade, I wouldn't be far from banning both.
I also certainly wouldn't take any of his complaints about cliques or brigading with any seriousness or self-reflection afterwards.
That is an entirely different situation from facing inner circles in an open source project while contributing to a major port.
Sock puppets aren't taken seriously while the word of the inner circle is taken as gospel.
