Having an alter-ego is one thing, but I strongly suspect that he had at least one sock puppet here during the drama with HN [0]

* a brand new account suddenly appears, defending Marcan's behavior (the only comment/post ever of this account) with a very similar writing style

* Marcan immediately "notices" the new comment while doing "random search" (how ? he claims he doesn't browse HN, and even posted a screenshot of news.ycombinator.com being routed to 0.0.0.0 to block his own access to it the day before)

* Marcan highlights the comment in question on his media account [1], praising them "at least [this commenter] gets it"

Only circumstantial stuff, but sure smells very fishy to me.
