Eh, there's very few people from RealGM that post on BF, at least those that I'm aware of. The only two that I know for a fact use the same handle are illmatic and Hands, and illmatic rarely posts, at least lately, and I picked this up from a fanpost, not an official post from a BF staffer.
Also, the formatting is totally different. Honestly, I wouldn't have even noticed it had I not already been reading Hands ridiculous organizational defenses for the past couple of weeks. It just clicked for me that they could possibly be the same person. Think about it. They're the only two Wizards fans that I can even think of that has actually defended EG to such a vehement extent. Even that new guy that came in defending Ernie got set straight by Kevin in like one night.
Grammatically they may be differen't. They may talk about different things, but I would contend that both have the exact same argumentative style of deflecting and misrepresenting evidence.
As for the multiple IP issue, I find it unsatisfying as evidence that they couldn't possibly be the same person. I can generate 6 different IP's from where I'm sitting without moving my legs, and that's before I even change devices.
For Millie to have simply participated in a copy/paste job, it needs to hold that Millie had to love Hands post so much (also let it be stated for the record that no one like millie even posts on BF, so there's little evidence to suggest that he even frequent's the comments section) that he would use it to formulate his own assumptions, and then it needs to hold that Millie doctored the original post in very specific places, essentially a half-assed attempt at plagiarism, instead of revising every sentence in order to make it own.
