I had thought the same thing! 

<twilightzone> 
But I considered another possibility: Maybe LKWR is in
fact 24/EofT disguised as a moderate voice--setting up
User:Moderator (after reading en:Wiki of course) as a
patsy/decoy personality.  After demolishing
"Moderator" this would allow 24/EofT to re-join the
collective with a clean slate altogether! ~No one
would suspect~

Hahaha!  Judge the messenger, or the message?

It may be hard to tell.

It is strange that LKWR (supposedly new) seems so
familiar with existing policy, and his echoing of that
old (wrong) stigma--that any work under suspicion of
being by a banned user must be eradicated with extreme
prejudice-- is just too... whats the word....?

This is exactly right Ray.  Among the sharper tacks in
the sack you are!
