Friend, we've imported a term from democracy to strawman with. You're familiar with the concept, therefore surely you can see that! The strawman IS the term from democracy, imported to lend significance to an insignificant act nobody actually does. YOU just used the strawman. If we gave the thing its own name it would not have the weight it seems to have now. Bots are a different problem, no real human does this thing by hand to any impactful degree. IT IS NOT A REAL THING and if anybody actually did it it would be pathetic, but certainly not a crime worthy of punishment.

Again, why import the failed model's rules? It's a made up problem, borrowing a name from a sphere of actual significance, to lend it credence so as to be a dick to people.

Just fuck off with all that noise, you know? (Not you personally.) The crime is not important enough to merit identity theft - or, oh dear, is that term too extreme to fit the situation too?

There were literally well-respected users who did this to garner admittedly pointless influence and suffered backlash because of it. Acting like people wouldn't do this when we have seen it done is really bizarre. And your hyperbole makes it even harder to take your stance seriously.
