Who was that masked man?

I’m not one to start “why was X banned?” threads, but over the course of the last 24 hours so many previously-banned posters have been accused of being John487 that I’d really, really like to see the mods/admins let off the hook those who weren’t responsible so that we can all either re-assess the friendships we have with banned posters or cherish them, or flame the fuck out of the asshole who thought this was OK.

Can a Pit mod please fix the thread title for me?
