The article indicates that the purpose of the method is to create false identities in order to post propaganda.

1. If a "false identity" is created, it would be apparent that the false persona would be a member so banning GUEST posts beyond current limitations would be completely useless.

2. The suggested "IF THEN ELSE NOT" requires the existence of a "Permitted List." Who's gonna write the software to keep the "Permitted List" current with our conversations?

3. We already have multiple "shill" personalities here, capable of little other than parroting party lines, and most of us don't much care whether they're "official bigots" or just "amateurs." We (except for those few of us who haven't learned to ignore flamers) know, or learn quickly, who deserves to be ignored.

4. Professional propagandists coming here would risk being converted, rather than t'other way 'round, due to our high level of erudition and the prevalence of careful and thorough critical thinking.
