I assume it was in response to the recent "troubles."
It's a bit like trying to fight the 'war on terror' by physically trying to contain it. You just can't. The whole 'username' 'impersonator' saga came about because people were riling against the appalling indiscretion exercised by the last answerbank editor. And the new one seems to be following in a similar vein. Attempts to physically contain rebellion on this site will never work. They cannot stop people acquiring multiple user names.
The AB people should realise that a lot of users on this site are BRITISH. British people have a very long and hard-fought-for history of defending free speech. If they think they can run a 'public info exchange' and then just chop and cut without good reason or supplying a good reason, then they deserve what they get. People will just not tolerate it. Neither should they.
