(User Info) http://www.ip-wars.net
The practice of a poster using multiple pseudonyms for various reasons:

a) To make the exact same point in multiple posts in order to make their opinions appear legitimate to casual, uninformed readers.

b) Used to redirect discussion of any issues they deem hurtful to whatever cause and/or master they serve.

c) Used to make it appear as if their opinion is shared by many others, when in fact it isn't.

d) Used as a last resort used to drown out discussion of issues by shouting them down (see crapflooding).

Synonym: astroturf

DISCLAIMER:
IANAL, may have no idea what the heck I am talking about, yadda yadda yadda.
