It’s ironic that ‘Eugine’ comes from the greek ‘good spirit’.
Gleb and his international team of Meat Puppets
Whoa, can we put together the two, one against the other? A post-apocalyptic fight between sock puppets and meat puppets for the destiny of rationality on Earth? Stitchpunk at it’s best!
I like to imagine there is a team of mods working 24⁄7 in some underground war room following up on leads for potential new Eugine sock puppets. IIRC, LW 2.0′s development has been severely hampered by all the resources devoted to finding and eliminating new Eugines.

:-D That’s a pretty classic case of “you will be replaced by a short script”, traditionally shell but nowadays probably Python. And they’ll stand there yelling that it’s only a flesh wound...
Well, to be fair the Eugine Tsipursky Theory™, Gleb is using Eugine’s super rude sock puppet army, which he invented and maintains using high level trolling techniques, to manufacture an enemy to LW… An enemy that he will later destroy using his own super polite meat puppet army. Then, he will use the goodwill he has earned to take over the universe. Or at least get a good amount of karma here on LW.
At any rate, Gleb and Eugine appearing to be very different is essential to the ruse. If the ETT is correct, you’re falling right into his trap.
Some. It only took him what, four or five debacles to learn to shut up? X-)
Eugine also learns—he recently has been using several accounts simultaneously (to post, not just to sockpuppet upvote). And you probably don’t want him to start learning rapidly :-/

EDIT: it’s already happening!
With moderator drones circling above the battlefield, relaying footage and sending an occasional salvo into the midst...

It is possible that Gleb and Eugine are the same person.
Doubtful. Gleb has demonstrated an ability to learn from his mistakes.

We need a comic.
