I'm not referring to post 1, I'm referring to all the people trying to make excuses/justifications about it when presumably post 1 knows how this happened. If post 1 doesn't, then post 1 is wrong and it didn't happen this way--the chances are something like 1 in 4 billion otherwise.
I'm sure that seeing that you're banned jumps to an IP ban in your head first because that's what everyone "knows" the internet does, never mind that it's not usually what the internet does. So I do get that part of this. But (1) everyone is trying to find some way to make the impossible claim possible and (2) since everyone has done that, all @1 has to do is borrow one of the ideas from this thread to continue explaining themselves. So if they come back either we get the real story or we get some fiction borrowing from this thread and no one can tell which.
But that's not my primary point. My primary point is that while we're supposed to assume innocence, in this case it's like saying "no, officer, I wasn't waving the lightning rod when I was struck by lightning, I promise". Half the explanations here are "this can be done but only on purpose" anyway, which implies that someone did it on purpose, which implies that what--someone called them up and said "can I please have your IP"?
